It seems like it would be an easy song to replicate.

1. if youre not so good figuring things out by ear only
there are tabs all over the internet. between them and listening to the recording you shouldnt have too much trouble figuring it out.

heres one from a quick search.

2. Yes, but I don't play guitar at all and I am looking for a volunteer(s)
to create something just for the web. It would be for a parody Bush bashing site for the domain name BushCheated04.com which the RNC failed to register. It's quite snarky and could ebd up being spreading like JibJab. I would do a Flash animation to got with it. I'm female so I can't even do the voice myself.

So what would I need someone who can play slide guitar? Should I approach people of a certain genre, such as Blues?

Are there issues with copyright? This site is privacy protected so even Gonzales should not be able to trace it.

4. ahh so you need someone to make you a tv track
the answer to the original is. no its not a difficult song. also it shouldnt be too much work for someone to do.

i think since its a parody, it would not be subject to copyright issues.

3. In the time of chimpanzees Bush was a monkey, butane in Rove's veins to ..
loser

In the time of chimpanzees Bush was a monkey,
butane in Rove's veins to run with the junkie,
with the plastic eyeballs, we will force feed the vegetables,
dog food eating grannies are shoplifting tylenol,
kill all the brain cells and put it in neutral,
iraq is flaming with a loser in the cruise control,
Rummy's in Reno with the Condi Rice,
gambling our diplomacy, asleep on the highway,
someone came sayin' I'm insane to complain about
a looted treasury and a stain on my country,
don't believe everything that you breathe,
you get a lung full of mercury and the maggot sucking meat,
you spite your face with some nose in the dark,
saving all your food stamps won't protect the mark,

yo, cut it
Está un perdedor, Bush is a loser so why not impeach him,
recall tyranny, facism
Está un perdedor, he's a loser and they're trying to kill me,

forces of evil on a bozo nightmare,
ban all dissent with a phony echo chamber,
cause one is a weasel and others sport a flag,
one's on the dole, shout the truth is a fag hag,
with his rerun wars that Mr. cocaine nose job,
his devious bullshit of the deficit flip flop,
a GI hung himself with a guitar string,
a slab of cannon fodder, he's hangin' so he doesn't sing,
I can't write if ya' can't relate,
trade the cash for a gay bash for the body for the hate,
and this time it's a piece of crack, we've fallen for the bad times,
we're chokin' on the nightmares,

Está un perdedor, America is losing, so why don't you wake up
pour out the kool-aid,
Está un perdedor, It's a losing proposition,
pour out the kool-aid,
yo bring it on down

we can win this one
things are gonna' change I can feel it

Está un perdedor, America is losing, so why don't you wake up
pour out the kool-aid,
Está un perdedor, It's a loser and we have to change it
Está un perdedor, It's a loser and we have to change it
Sprechen sie deutsch, baby
Está un perdedor, It's a loser and if we don't change it
there'll be nothing to be sayin'

7. I got it, you are right it is major cheesy, I'm still trying to find
someone who can play it and lay down the vocal track. I started working on the Flash animation last night to go with it. I got Bush going from thumbs up to a fuck you salute. Right now I have the lyrics crawling upward so people can reda them.

What would it take someone whoplays slide guitar?
