Parody of Eminem’s “The Real Slim Shady”
Performance Notes Included
[Opening Beat / Spoken Intro — slow, mock-serious tone]
NARRATOR (deadpan, like a news anchor):
May I have your attention please?
May I have your attention please?
Will the Real Don Shady please stand up?
…Actually — never mind. Please sit your orange ass down.
We’re gonna have a problem here.
(beat drops — full parody begins)
[Verse 1 – Energetic flow, keep rhythm tight]
PERFORMER (mocking but with Eminem-style bounce):
Y’all act like you never seen a conman before
Jaw on the floor like, “Wait — is he president more?”
Started wars on truth, now he’s golfing some more
Tweetin’ rage at 3AM like it’s civil decor
He’s orange, bloated, bloomin’ with lies
Sniffin’ Adderall like it’s apple pie
Brags about walls he can’t afford to buy
And says, “I’m the victim” while democracy dies
Built a cult outta red hats and fear
Sold steaks, fake schools, and Vladimir’s cheer
Tells coal miners they’ll rise again—
Then sells their pensions for golf and gin
He’s the MAGA Messiah, tanned like a Cheeto
With hands so small they vanish on keto
“Stable genius”? Please, that’s placebo
He’s the dude yellin’ “Fraud!” while riggin’ the bingo
[Chorus – Background vocal doubles or group chant effect]
CHORUS VOCALS (repeat with swagger):
’Cause I’m Don Shady, yes I’m the real Shady
All you other Don Shadys are just limp babies
So won’t the Real Don Shady please sit down, please sit down, please sit down?
’Cause I’m Don Shady, yes I’m the real Shady
Truth is just a game and my lies come daily
So won’t the Real Don Shady please sit down, please sit down, please sit down?
[Verse 2 – Get more animated, bring sarcasm up a notch]
PERFORMER:
Little Donnie’s back with a big new scam
Pitchin’ NFTs and some diet ham
Still claims he won when he lost the damn
And stares in the mirror like, “I am who I am”
Inject bleach, cure hate, build walls in your brain
Bans books, burns facts, but claims he’s sane
Grifted the rubes with a phony crusade
While funneling donors to legal charades
He’s a tantrum in a tie, a lawsuit in flesh
Bankrupted casinos and democracy next
Speaks like he’s reading off a Denny’s menu
And half the country still says, “We’ll defend you!”
Fox runs clips like gospel verses
While he mangles the Bible and threatens nurses
Hides behind lawyers, crimes in purses
Claims, “I don’t recall,” when the truth emerges
[Chorus – same as above, may want call-and-response or vocal layering]
CHORUS VOCALS
[Bridge Add-On – Slow slightly, emphasize final line. Sound pissed.]
PERFORMER (biting tone, pause before punchline):
And if you’re one of those folks still rockin’ that red hat too,
Still cryin’ “Stop the steal!” like that lie was true…
Here’s a message from the sane to your alt-right crew:
Trump lost. So fuck him and fuck you too.
(short beat drop or scratch before final verse)
[Verse 3 – Speed back up, ride the rhythm to climax]
PERFORMER:
He’s suing the wind for mocking his hair
Claims he never lied — except everywhere
Thinks nuking a storm is solid strategy
Still calls the press a travesty
He’s the king of chaos, the fraud in chief
Burnin’ the rulebook like a common thief
Golf cart dictator, MAGA bard
Flunked every quiz but still gets a card
So if you feel sick and tired of the clown
Screamin’ “Election fraud!” in a Burger King crown
If fascism wrapped in a bloated disguise
Makes you wanna crawl out of American lies—
Then stand up, speak out, raise hell and more
’Cause silence lets this circus encore
The Real Don Shady’s just a symptom, see—
Of a nation drunk on reality TV
[Final Chorus – add claps or crowd sounds, make it rowdy]
CHORUS VOCALS (last line slow, mocking):
’Cause I’m Don Shady, yes I’m the real Shady
And I’ll keep lying ‘til the facts betray me
So won’t the Real Don Shady please sit down, please sit down, please sit down?
Yeah, we’re all done, Shady.
Please. Sit. Down.
[Outro – fade to crowd booing, gavel bang, or news headline snippets]
Optional Voiceover (newscaster tone):
“This just in — the Real Don Shady has been indicted… again.”

great
This parody is spot-on! The way it mocks that person's actions and words is hilarious. It really nails the absurdity. Made me laugh out loud. Do you think this kind of parody can actually make a difference in getting people to see the truth? I like how the performer captures the essence in each verse. The references are clever. Wonder if there are other aspects of that person's behavior that could be turned into equally funny parodies.
