We offered you
an empty canvas,
a blank
slate,
an open look.
No theme,
just a venue,
waiting to collect and
display
your thoughts and ideas,
poems and pictures,
into the colorful
autumn
issue
of
the Irwin Courterly.
Now look what happened!
Fall
2000
Happy winter!
October 2000: Xip brings you the next installment of the hit Broadway Musical
Yugo Elections
SLOBODAN MILOSEVIC (sing to the tune of "Sometimes" by
Britney Spears):
You tell me you won't vote for me
Like you can take my police state away from me
How could you not want me to stay?
Why don't you let me count the votes my special way?
Why won't you believe in everything that I say
'Cause it sounds so good
You think you're really rid of me? Oh, no
There's things about me you just have to know
Sometimes I run, sometimes I hide
In my palace I'm safe from you
But all I really want is to hold you tight
With all my might
Rule over you day and night
But I'm indicted for war crimes
Don't wanna go to your ICTY
Every time that I'm on trial I wonder why
Hope that you won't turn me in
If you call yourself a Serbian
Why won't you believe in everything that I say
'Cause it sounds so good
You think you're really rid of me? Oh, no
There's things about me you just have to know
Sometimes I run, sometimes I hide
In my palace I'm safe from you
But all I really want is to hold you tight
With all my might
Rule over you day and night
Baby all I need is time
Just hang around and you'll see
There's nowhere I'd rather be
Don't believe me? Trust in me
Don't bust me like I
Busted you
(key change) Sometimes I run, sometimes I hide....

SERBIAN PEOPLE (sing to the tune of "Larger Than Life" by the
Backstreet Boys):
Slobo runs and hides
When we're screamin' his name
(Alright!)
For a decade of chaos
He bears almost all the blame
(Alright!)
And all of those bombs dropped were flashes of light
Hey Bill Clinton can't you see, can't you see
How sanctions affected our democracy
And now that Slobo's down
You must make it right
And that makes you larger than life
Look at the hungry crowd
And see which way the army sways
(C'mon!)
Wishing you would help us
In a different kind of way
(C'mon!)
'Cause all of your time spent keeps us alive
Madeline Albright can't you see, can't you see
How sanctions affected our democracy
And now that Slobo's down
You must make it right
And that makes you larger than life
Oh-oh-oh
