He also holds the Olympic record for all three of these races. At the 2008 Summer Olympics, Bolt became the first man to win three sprinting events at a single Olympics since Carl Lewis in 1984, and the first man to set world records in all three at a single Olympics. In 2009 he became the first man to hold the 100 and 200 m world and Olympic titles at the same time. More

Two Blood Shoes

By Peter S. Quinn


Well, it's one for the war,
Two for the woe
Both to get ready
Now go, Bush, go.

But please first try on them two Blood shoes.
You can do anything but first try on them two Blood shoes.

Well, you can push me down,
Kick in my face,
Bomb my place
Many different ways.

Do anything that you want to do, but uh-uh,
Bush, first try on them shoes
Please first try on them two Blood shoes.
You can do anything but first try on them two Blood shoes.

You can bomb each town,
Steal the oil,
Our antics spoil
Confuse and embroil.

Do anything that you want to do, but uh-uh,
Bush, first try on them shoes
Please first try on them two Blood shoes.
You can do anything but first try on them two Blood shoes.

(Parody to "Blue Suede Shoes")
