I just got this in my inbox, and it qualifies, in my humble songwriting opinion, as one of the best examples of ad hoc political satire that the intertubes has produced to date (and that, I realize, is really saying something).
Now this video's production values aren't all that great, I'll admit (though the lady and gent doing a live take on the screen are fun to watch, no doubt about it) but the lyrics and the music are deadly enough to carry the vid to the top of the chart all by themselves, even if it were to be performed by Lawrence Welk - who, yes I realize, is dead.
Man, this is just that: deadly. Drop down below the flip to see what I'm talking about, folks.
I love the chatter at the end, discussing the attributes of various Canuk cities.
This is ROFL material, folks, and it takes her down like a hunter drawing a bead on a bull moose with a thirt-aught-six.
Deadly. Pass it on to your send-lists and rec this sucker up!
(standard disclaimer: if this is old news - I will delete, but still hope and recommend that the video gets a truly viral airing.)
Update: thanks to Ingegrity is fundamental, here's the digg link, so digg it folks!
Update II: Lyrics, thanks to Taz Man (give him some mojo!):
Hey Sarah Palin do you tell them in Wasilla
that 4000 years ago we roamed the planet with Godzilla?
Is it true?
I am so fuckin' scared of you.
as number two
Hey Sarah palin
I think Alaska's very pretty
but just 100,000 people more than Oklahoma City
yes its true
Go look it up, I'm tellin you.
Oh man, we're through.
Oh, if you become V.P.
Oh, its Canada for me.
Oh if you become VP
Oh, its Canada for me.
It's Canada for me.
Hey Sarah Palin
Did you really once inquire
Whether you could throw library books into a big bonfire?
Oh God, My eyes.
This really might be our demise.
This pack of lies.
Hey Sarah Palin,
Just because you're good at shootin'
Doesn't mean you h ave the ammo to negotiate with Putin
Are you on Coke?
This fuckin' country's up in smoke.
Oh what a joke.
refrain:
Oh, if you become V.P.
Oh, what will it mean for me?
Oh if you become VP
Oh, what will it mean for me?
Just because I can see the moon
doesn't make me an astronaut you loon.
your foreign policy expertise is poo
do you really think a woman commits
to a candidate just because she has tits
please tell me that this ticket is not true.
I thoughtthat there could be no worse
than cheney, but here you are, I curse
the mad man who would cast a vote for you.
and McCain too
Hey Sarah Palin
is it media distortion
or would you tell a girl who's raped
that she could not have an abortion?
IT's a new low
Who know s just how far you would go?
I'd rather vote for Ross Perot!
Hey Sarah Palin, I don't know.
Where can we go.
Oh, if you become V.P.
Oh, its Canada for me.
Oh if you become VP
Oh, its Canada for me.
It's Canada for me.
