Last year in novel, my teacher (we'll call him Ari) had us rewrite the lyrics of I AM WOMAN by Helen Reddy and Ray Burton to accomodate for the bogans of the world. We all had good fun, so this is what I produced.
I'm a bogan watch me gore
We drink in packs of four of more
And I know fuck all so I guess I can't pretend
'cause you've bitched it all before
When I throw up on the floor
And I can't be stuffed to clean that shit up again
CHORUS
Oh yes, I am wide
And it's cracksores all again
Yes, I skipped the price
But look at the weight that I just gained
If I feel like it, I won't do anything
I am bum (bum)
I am unbearable (unbearable)
I am bogan
You can slap and kick me down
'cause it's what everybody wants
More determined to demolish me dingy hole
And I come back smelling pongier
Not a genius any longer
'cause you've doubled me conviction for assault
CHORUS
I am bogan hear me groan
See me stand up for the court
Cos I threw me outstretched hands around your neck
But I'm still a fat yobbo
With a fat arsed way to go
Until I make my first parole
Oh yes, I am wide
And it's cracksores all again
Yes, I skipped the price
But look at the weight I just gained
If I feel like it, I won't do anything
I am bum (bum)
I am unbearable (unbearable)
I am bogan
Oh, I am bogan
I am unbearable
I am bum
REPEAT FINAL LINES AND FADE

While I do think the sentiments in your re-writing of this classic song are amusing, I also think they are very disrespectful of the fact that your OWN brother, and myself just spent three days in the company of a lot of people who could be described as having bogan attributes as described by your song.
And as for your rhythm amd pace in the song, you are right off. Sing the lyrics you have written to yourself and you will see what parts I am talking about.
It's a no from me I'm afraid.
Also, please understand the difference between a 'bogan' (re: Bogan Pride) and a 'redneck' (from whence your Simpsons quote comes)
I don't know what your 'thing' is with bogans... you are a far bigger (literally, not figuratively) bogan than Graeme and I put together.
