Wonkette
The first verse is “The Democrat secular progressive move, political correctness is killing us too. They want to take the money from the hard workin man, and give it to the lazy folks that don’t give a damn.” The opening image of the video is, of course, a fat slob sitting on a tractor. Jesus wept.
Who is responsible for this terrible piece of shit? Steve Jobs, probably. This was made with that “Garage Band” software on those gay Macintosh computers, wasn’t it? Or maybe it’s the karaoke music to “Addicted To Love” or something.
As for the lyricist, it’s the same dildo who put up those billboards in Florida showing the burning WTC towers behind the slogan “Please don’t vote for a Democrat.” You know, because we can’t have terrorisms if there’s a Democrat, and we need the 9/11s to prove the Patriotism. LET A MILLION 9/11s BLOSSOM IN AMERICA.
Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
time out: freedom is a god given right? Here i thought “freedom dunt come free” was the tune they ring their bell to.
Horrific? Did you not hear that guitar solo? Elitist fag.
Dear god.
I’m drafting the Articles of Secession as we speak….hold please…
Poor farmers. What will they do with $55 billion a year in federal largesse? And here I am, a lazy liberal, footing the bill for these fat, whiny fuckers.
umm. that’s no fat slob republican. didn’t you read his shirt? it says ‘athletic department’ no one who goes to the athletic department is a fat slob. you don’t understand if i say something is true, its true, facts be damned. see al-obama doesn’t wear clothes like that ever. therefore he’s the fat slob. shame on him
I had no idea that racquetball was so fundamental to patriotic American values.
When I think of the poor working men like Bob Novak, or those toiling away for under a million at your local hedge fund, and I think of those damn commie democrats like Obama who are planning to tax them and fly airplanes into their buildings. Boy oh boy howdy how that makes me mad. I just hope Obama goes back to his cave in Tora Bora and we can finally kick his ass before he makes anybody earning over $500,000 pay taxes.
I think these are the same folks that put together a little show called Horse Apples.

WHEY!
What does it say about me that all I thought about that song was that it would be awesome in Guitar Hero? Nothing good, right?
I didn’t realize the New Yorker was now putting videos on YouTube.
I have just learned that the following groups of people are Republicans:
Pink-shirted (aka gay) cowboys.
High school graduates.
Elitist iPod listeners.
Kids who dress like they’re from 1989.
Joe Don Baker playing a guitar.
Lesbians who dance in their kitchen.
Squash players.
Guys who take 4 minutes to write one goddamn sentence.
All incredibly white.
Okay, the last two and the first one seem right, but the rest just confuse me. Too many elites! (Yes, Joe Don Baker is considered an elitist Hollywood liberals.)
“Republicans were not perfect but we know the truth. We uphold the Constitution and the Golden Rule.”
Class: deconstruct, compare and contrast, with analysis on whether any portion of this verse does NOT cause blood to flow immediately from the ears. Discuss.
And stop looking at Slim Slack girl.
Does Mike “Dead Hands” Meehan (the Republican, and assumedly Christian)realize there’s a lezbean twirling in his kitchen?
I liked his placement on the barn though; in the place of the weather-vane.
(Insert metallic cock joke here.)
Good lord. That almost makes me want to listen to the album where Todd Rundgren raps.
Almost.
Hahahahaha, I love the part where Republicans know the truth and “uphold the constitution and the golden rule.” WTF, somebody’s not paying very close attention to either one. Up is down, down is up. Also brilliant is the line about “not fighting for oil, we got plenty if we drill it.”
This song has turned me to a moran.
WAKE UP PEOPLE!
This video is a page out of Goering’s playbook:
“Why of course the people don’t want war. Why should some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece? Naturally the common people don’t want war; neither in Russia, nor in England, nor in America, nor in Germany. That is understood. But after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.” -Reichsmarschall Hermann Goering
“…political correctness is killing us too.”
Yeah, forget that Agent Orange, and napalm, and RPGs, and IEDs, and ICBMs, and MIRVs, and all that ordnance shit.
“Political correctness” is the most foul and lethal weapon ever devised.
Fuck, if only.
I’d happily enlist at the PC reeducation camp tomorrow if it’d put an end to dipshits like this.
And Tony.
Stay home. Stay ho-ho-ho-ho-home.
Stay home. Stay ho-ho-ho-ho-home.
Stay home. Stay ho-ho-ho-ho-home.
Please don’t vote for a Democrat.
Hard working? Yeah, that graduate better be if she wants to ever pay off her student loans. And when he falls off the roof of the barn after the guitar solo, he’s going to wish we had universal health care. And that iPod was made in China.
greatgooglymoogly: You beated me to it. You must have an elitist high speed innernet connection.
Hooray For Anything: Nice.
“Our constitution, nation ‘n god are under attack”
I bet God is really sweating all the flack he’s getting from the dems.
This guy likes Jeff Gordon? I call bullshit.
At least he is a talented musician.
Why didn’t he show all of the migrants in his fields looking at el jefe loco dancing on top of the barn?
Do I ever want to watch that again? Oh no, no,no,no,no,no,no,no,no,no,no,no.
loquaciousmusic: I’m totally drowning it out with the sweet sweet sounds of Lou Reed’s Metal Machine Music.
badco/LoJ: No shit. No real NASCAR fan likes that prissy little twerp.
“They want to take the money from the hard workin man, and give it to the lazy folks that don’t give a damn.”
Wow. Those lyrics, and that guitar solo, are straight out of the 1980’s. Why oh why didn’t the geniuses behind this find a way to work in “welfare mothers in limousines” or the “evil empire”? What, the Gipper isn’t good enough for ya’, Mr. American Flag Shirt? Damn commies.
magic titty: I see your Lou Reed and raise you Rod Stewart covering Tom Waits.
In the comments below that video, someone has written Tom Waits > Rod Stewart. I think we’re going to have to start using the “greater than/less than” symbols a lot more around here.
Well, flagold has something to aspire to now.
loquaciousmusic:
yeah, well, tom’s allright and all…
but so are the brooklyn girls.
Is this the same Mike Meehan who has some lovely opinions about the separation of the races?
http://www.vanguardnewsnetwork.com/?cat=185
I just puked–lost two Wonkettinis over that shit!
well, since the corporate take over of the record companies, every musician has to find a marketing tool.
or become a marketing tool, something like that.
tsunami: Brooklyn Girls rule! But Ted Nugent is weeping.
I’m sorry, but unless I see Truck Nutz on the back of that tractor, I’m not listening to the song.
thats the guy who does the music for Ford Truck commericials broadcast in texas…well, they have the same sound anyway…
magic titty: i like the fourth side best…LOL..
If you look really, really closely you can spot the subtle product placement of his CD in this video.
Fuckwad’s playing a plywood Dean acoustic.
Nice. Ditto that awful, super-compressed electric guitar. Next time use the DS-1 as a doorstop.
All he needed was some gated drums ala Phil Collins, and he’d have reached Flock of Seagulls tonal Nirvana.
Oh yeah, the lyrics were pretty bad as well.
Good god, won’t these political folks make up their mind? I thought I was hard working, and now I find out I’m lazy. Next, they will tell me I’m not white or something. I’m very confused.
Ummm…
I followed the link to the teevee station page and watched the video
Mike Meehan is a Canadian citizen
As a hardworking and pretty well-off lib(eral/ertarian/tard), I find that they have point and am tempted to take them up on it. Income redistribution is all well and good, but if it comes with the price of discrimination and bad grammar, it’s just no longer worth it to me.
If I were standing on the roof about to fall playing a guitar, I’d clench my spinchter too.
I tried staring at the American flag in my backyard so I could write songs too, but it’s just not as inspiring to me as it was to him. Is the secret his tractor? Do I have to ride by the flag on a tractor?
Is that Freedom Rock? Well turn it up!
Somebody show him bout the mystery dance
He needs to know about the mystery dance
Sombody show him cuz
He’s Tried and he’s tried
and he’s still mystified
He can’t do it anymore and he’s not satisfied
I hope all those duplications were authorized.
loquaciousmusic: Sweet jeebus - that happened? Well then…
http://youtube.com/watch?v=qv2iLzhS-Sg&feature=related
Fun fact - i’m not hating this song as much as i’m supposed to.
[brain storming session] Hey do u guys know what I can use to rhyme w/”NO” ?? UMMM how ’bout NO? sweet. “NO NO NO NO NO NO NO oh NO NO NO NO NO NO oh NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO .” move over axel! a new playa’s in town. “NO NO NO NO NO NO NO oh NO NO NO NO NO NO oh NO NO NO NO NO NO “
i emailed this to you.
Desi Douche: Isn’t Canada on strike or something?
rmontcal: lol freedom rock, I am so old.
Fuck, Am I In?
Revolution!
Who the hell still drives open-top tractors anyway? They’re a safety hazard.
Even the farmers are more advanced in Australia, dammit.
Johnny Zhivago: Good one.
I got nothing. The boys in SP are working on a remix though.
Why does internet have to post every wretched song with bad video five hundred places? Youtube is rotting our culture, for serious though. Not like we all don’t help it along.
Shouldn’t that website be http://www.outoftouchfilms.com?
That Marine Seargent’s uniform is particularly insulting. I have one just like it in my closet and, believe me, I get infuriated when fat fucks like him try to give lip service to the military. Most of the young men and women in the military are there because their only option was to become the muscle of King George and his Corporate America pals, who are kept in power by these easily-swayed genetic anomalies.
It’s a page out of Mao’s little Red Book: A Peasant Revolution!
Without the poor peasants[farmers] it would never have been possible to bring about in the countryside the present state of revolution, to overthrow the local bullies[Democrats] and bad gentry[elitists], or to complete the [anti-] democratic revolution….
Soon, all the elitists will be rounded up. Their books and lattes and fancy diplomas will be taken away and they will be sent to rural America and forced to get fat and drive tractors.
Tim Robbins did it better in Bob Roberts:
Some people will work
Some never will
But they’ll complain and complain and complain and complain and complain
Mike Meehan needs to be deployed to Iraq..oh, and best.tags.evah!
It’s really fun to watch this and play “spot the utter lack of anything made in America in this video.”
put that on your wall - this shit isn’t country at all. worst guitar sound ever.
never before have i had such an urge to push a fat man with a guitar off of a barn roof… i think i need to throw up now.
Johnny Zhivago: how’s your cat been doin?
Cheesy drum machine track, guitar solo so far behind the beat that time itself seems to stop while listening, no cow bell, huge belt buckles, a chorus that consists of one word repeated endlessly, a confederate flag tastefully placed below the American flag , a couple of kids that are obviously the result of inbreeding, guy on tractor with an XXXXXXXL athletic shirt and a Stratocastor that is made in Japan.
One word.
Inspiring.
Damn that’s good song! They don’t write em like this no more. Ain’ heared nothing this good and stirring emotional-wise since “Livin on a Prayer”. (sniff) ‘Scuse me for a minute…
Note the ginormous pencil the herbicide-poisoned retard bitter has to use to scratch out his screed in huge, crude third-grade-type penmanship.
Ed Hale — is that you?? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=558wIgs2c9k
teebob2000: THANK YOU! I couldn’t concentrate on the rest of the damn video…I just kept wondering “why is he using one of those kindergarten pencils?” I don’t even know where you get those things.
Maybe he’s in kindergarten?
ivenson: thems real workin mans graphite carpentree pensuls… gots ta sharpen em with a nife asin thems rektanguler
Aurelio: YESSSS!!!! clearly we seriously need to break the US into two seperate states. seriously. for real.
Despite what all republicans would have you believe, not every white male is fat and loves NASCAR. I am not represented by these people!
“Hoo wee! I jus’ had a thought! Let me write that down with my huge carpenters pencil…damn demo-oh-crats! I’ll draw em with ‘ittle pin heads. Hehe! Take THAT!”
Deepthroat: Can we please just create an artificial island (hell, we can even call it “Jesusland”) that we can send all these people to? I’d happily send some tax dollars for that Apollo program!
Only closeted gays would pass CDs to each other like that. Real men aren’t afraid to get their big ol’ greasy thumbprints on them.
Uh, he left the goddamn tractor running the whole time he wrote, edited and recorded the song, passed out CDs and danced on the roof?
Also, I’m sending this to my grandma right now. I’ll be back in the will.
loquaciousmusic: How about Limp Bizkit covering The Who?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Pp38SR1lMU
So much crap out there; be grateful I couldn’t find the video of Pat Boone covering Ozzy Osbourne. However, MIke Meehan’s right up there with the, um, best of them.
Ain’t That America
Meehan said the billboard will remain in place through the November election. He won’t be voting in that election — he’s a citizen of Canada.
sounds like Denny Crain….
