A story of war and lust and cable news. Written in the spring of 2003, when a young man's heart turned to....
Christiane Amanpour
You can say what you want about Diane Sawyer
You can mock Barbara Walters and I won't call a lawyer
You can dis Jane Pauley, or any other news whore
But you better not say anything bad about
Christiane Amanpour*
Christiane Amanpour it's you who I adore
Christiane Amanpour I'd fight in your war
You can show me people dying in the sands of Iraq
But all I can think about is your hair and the small of your back
Christiane Amanpour
I saw you in the Balkans with the bombs raining down
Even with all that genocide you made a smile from my frown
I wish that I could talk to you in a small foreign cafe
But the security monkeys at CNN keep pushing me away
Christiane Amanpour it's you I'm fighting for
Christiane Amanpour my love you can't ignore
You won an Emmy for reports from Yugoslavia
And two George Foster Peabodys
But all I want is a kiss from your lips
And I dream of doing the naughty with
Christiane Amanpour
Some people they tell me they like Rym more than you**
But they don't really know you, like I really do
And if you moved to FOX News, I'd watch you even there
But if that bastard O'Reilly touched you
I'd kick him in his pair
Christiane Amanpour est c'est plus profond que l'amour
Christiane Amanpour will I ever get to score?
I hear the sirens wailing, I hope you brought your film crew
And I know I really shoudn't have done it
But I did it all for you
Christiane Amanpour
I love you girl
* I really do admire Ms. Amanpour, in a totally respectful manner.
** Rym Brahimi, another CNN corespondent in the early days of the war, and whom I totally respect.
