Not just one of the best song parodies I've ever seen, but brilliant political commentary.
And yes, I have written a few myself. For example, if only I had found talented folks like these to implement a satire-chant making fun of our tendency to nominate from "royal families." (All but two US presidential elections since 1980 had either a Bush or a Clinton (or both) on the tickets. Might my video - if it got made - have helped us dodge the 2016 debacle? I guess we'll never know.
I do have others though! In the lead-up to impeachment, I offered the following script, skewering the one common element of every GOP whine and writhe. From Strzock and Steele to subpoenas and tax returns to Deutsche Bank and refusal to call witnesses ... it always, always comes down to "The American voters should not see or know any facts! Don't look!"
== In the Danger Zone ==
To the tune and beat of “Into the Danger Zone” in the flick TOP GUN.
Putin pushed corruption - twisted our elections - Don’t look!
All our Intel people - say it really happened - Deep State!
Tax returns he promised - ‘audit’ never happened - Don’t look!
Golf trips cost us plenty - never mind the tally - Tastes great!
* Don’t look, don’t hear the censored zone…
* We all live in the censored zone!
Every Foxite defense - boils down to one cry - Don’t look!
Mafia connections - Russian money laundry - Eyes closed!
Steele file bias! - Disloyal Jim Comey! - so Don’t look!
We don’t want no answers - Block all testimony - MINDS closed!
* Any excuse - don’t investigate!
* Same excuse made for Watergate!
Every Clinton crevice - probed up to the elbow - Let’s look!
Always came up empty - that means they were clever - Probe deep!
When the light shines on you - suddenly you fear it - Don’t look!
Nothing here to look at - looking is forbidden - Go sleep!
* Don’t look, don’t hear the censored zone…
* We all live in the censored zone!
