Uke-Song: "RELIC SUBMARINES", in the style of The Beatles

                                                                                           

SONG with UKULELE-CHORDS: 

U.S.S. Clamagore at Patriots Point
(background: Arthur Ravenel Bridge, in fog)

ORIGINAL SONG:  "Yellow Submarine", The Beatles 1966, with lead vocals by Ringo Starr.
BACKGROUND: Giorgio's substitute lyrics draw on his personal experience as an occasional denizen of South Carolina. With prominent tourist sites for the display of submarines from the Civil War, World War II and the Cold War, Charleston SC and the adjacent suburb of Mt Pleasant seem like a grim version of the Beatles' fantasy "land of submarines".

PARODY COMPOSED: Dr. G.H. and Giorgio Coniglio, December 2018. For further discussion and illustrations of submarines in Charleston, South Carolina, check our sister blogsite "Daily Illustrated Nonsense", by clicking HERE. (You can also find a simpler version of the parody-lyrics for this song displayed without the chord-indications, should you desire.)

SONGLINKS: Giorgio's other satire lyrics substituted to Beatles' songs include "Vonnegut" (Imagine); "Saturday Night" (Yesterday); "Brennan's Tweet" (Let It Be); "Jake" (While My Guitar Gently Weeps).
Another song posted here relates to nuclear brinksmanship during the cold war. You might enjoy Giorgio's "Broken Arrow", to the tune of the Eagle's "Desperado". And then, there's a more recent take on the North Korea debacle, "Something to Groan About", to the tune of Oscar Brand's "Something to Sing About".

ORIGINAL SONG-LYRICS 

Singable Saga: "FIRST TERM on the RANGE" (A Frontier-Political Ballad)

SINGABLE LIMERICKS 

ORIGINAL SONG: These verses were originally conceived to be sung to "The Limerick Song", as per YouTube HERE.
 However to avoid unnecessary outsourcing, the melody has been changed to "Home on the Range", an American Western folk song written in 1872 (the best known recording is by Bing Crosby in 1933).
LIMERICK VERSE:  Original poetry was composed by Giorgio Coniglio, compiled in November 2017, and blogposted on "Daily Illustrated Nonsense" HERE.  Many of the poems have also been published at the OEDILF website (the Omnificent English Dictionary in Limerick Form) by Giorgio Coniglio, 2016-2017. The OEDILF identifying number (#) and the Author's Note accompanying each poem, where relevant, are shown following the first verse. 
The current musical scoring was arranged by Giorgio Coniglio in January 2018.

Nikki Haley, the first female governor of South Carolina, was appointed U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations by president Donald Trump in January 2017. By April 2018, relationships between the two had deteriorated due to Executive vacillations in policy, particularly over Russian sanctions.
The term ambassadress for a female ambassador or the wife of an ambassador is used rarely.
