Leftovers From March 2009: Hey, It’s The Bailout Song!

Watch this it’s a great video! Bailout Bailout SHA NA NA NA NA, yay! How did we discover this terrible Internet video? The performers here, the Rivoli Revue — “of ‘Press One For English’ fame” — are of course part of a much larger conspiracy to burn America to the ground, later this summer.

The Rivoli Revue will be part of the “tour delegation” for this thing, The Tea Party Express:

“From August 28th to September 12th the ‘Tea Party Express’ bus will tour the country, hosting tea party rallies across America. Find the tea party nearest you and join our efforts to boot out of office some of the worst offenders in government. With your help we’ll clean house in the upcoming congressional elections!”

Be sure to wear your pants!

    I can’t wait for the next big benefit- Teabagging Across America

  2. Custerwolf says at 1:29 pm, May 27th, 2009

    Even cheesier than the Ravioli Revue I caught last weekend.

  3. StephanieInCA says at 1:30 pm, May 27th, 2009

    Oh pleez, Teablogging had this AGES ago. Like, way back before I even got sued by a lizard. Also.

  4. NoWireHangers says at 1:31 pm, May 27th, 2009

    Gross.

  5. NewSpence says at 1:32 pm, May 27th, 2009

    The campaign never ends for these people. Jesus, we just had an election. Take a year off, get laid, plant a garden, have a freaking life you bozos. Then talk about 2010. In 2010.

  6. ihasasad says at 1:33 pm, May 27th, 2009

    I see they aren’t going where the scary black peeps are.
    Tell me again this isn’t about having a black man in the WH…

  7. V572625694 says at 1:33 pm, May 27th, 2009

    Jeez, could that “video” be any lamer? The sound is so obviously dubbed, the guy can’t play the guitar — and despite all evidence to the contrary, the woman thinks she’s good looking and can sing.

    The map’s not bad, though.

  8. El Pinche says at 1:34 pm, May 27th, 2009

    Jim, why do you hate us?
    It feels like someone assfucked my ears with Captain & Tennille with Down Syndrome.

  9. Servo says at 1:34 pm, May 27th, 2009

    Right through America’s Moron Crescent. What a shocker!

  10. wx insider says at 1:34 pm, May 27th, 2009

    “Bail Me Out” of that gawd awful song…!!!

  11. JimNewell says at 1:35 pm, May 27th, 2009

    StephanieInCA: I knew I would read this comment.

  12. StephanieInCA says at 1:37 pm, May 27th, 2009

    Jim Newell: Don’t make me “go Leahy” on you, Jim.

  13. Servo says at 1:37 pm, May 27th, 2009

    Isn’t that one of Forrest Gump’s transcontinental running routes?

  14. x111e7thst says at 1:39 pm, May 27th, 2009

    NewSpence: No chance these people will get laid. Look at them.

  15. Custerwolf says at 1:40 pm, May 27th, 2009

    StephanieInCA: I swear to god your avatar acts as some kind of cammo - I miss half your comments unless someone like Newell points them out. Thanks to you both!

  16. x111e7thst says at 1:40 pm, May 27th, 2009

    Looks like they are coming to NY tho. Time to stockpile dead cats and rotten eggs.

  17. Brendan M. says at 1:40 pm, May 27th, 2009

    Jim Newell: Expect it even more often, with Shortstika in charge of Teablogging.net now.

  18. SayItWithWookies says at 1:41 pm, May 27th, 2009

    What irony when the stand-on-your-own-two-feet campaign is responsible for sustaining the career of crappy musicians and songwriters. Ideological purity trumps actual artistic merit or creative skill, hmmm? It’s nice to know they believe in affirmative action too — just for teh stoopids.

  19. SmutBoffin says at 1:42 pm, May 27th, 2009

    I have come from the future with the aid of my microsingularity-powered transtemporal Ford Explorer*. In my time, these fearless balladeers are regarded as the inheritors of the legacy of Joan Baez, Bob Dylan, etc… The parking lots and gazebos that they performed in front of are now famous landmarks. Could one of you pre-post-humans inform me as to what the hell they are actually singing about? In 140 characters or less please, my neuro-Twitter implant requires it.

    *Yes, Ford still exists, though it is under the management of the Archchancellor of the Emperor of Detroit.

  20. El Pinche says at 1:44 pm, May 27th, 2009

    Servo: However, they bypassed America’s Cock and Balls (Florida and Alabama, Goergia, respectively).

  21. Rary Guppert says at 1:45 pm, May 27th, 2009

    i think the teabaggers should have stopped and asked for directions, maybe.

  22. shortsshortsshorts says at 1:45 pm, May 27th, 2009

    Brendan M.: I’m in charge of Teablogging now? OH SHIT I NEED TO GET ON THIS.

  23. Larry McAwful says at 1:49 pm, May 27th, 2009

    Who else thinks it’s funny that the “Tea Party Express” doesn’t go anywhere near Boston?

  24. Naked Bunny with a Whip says at 1:50 pm, May 27th, 2009

    They can’t be too crazy. I mean, they’re certainly giving Kansas a wide berth, like all sensible people.

  25. sezme says at 1:54 pm, May 27th, 2009

    Heh, she dances like Elaine Benes.

  26. Hooray For Anything says at 1:57 pm, May 27th, 2009

    V572625694: I know, I didn’t realize Kenny Powers cold even play the guitar.

  27. glamourdammerung says at 2:00 pm, May 27th, 2009

    Naked Bunny with a Whip: They are just trying to avoid the toll roads, which is pretty ironic considering.

  28. Servo says at 2:03 pm, May 27th, 2009

    A lot of “bathing, shoes, & teeth optional” folks in the stretch between Kentucky and Texas.

  29. Lascauxcaveman says at 2:06 pm, May 27th, 2009

    Not even an impressive level of suck here. Just sort of an average, middle-of-the-road white people’s suckitude.

  30. Airborne Toxic Event says at 2:08 pm, May 27th, 2009

    Can’t wait for the porn version.

  31. glamourdammerung says at 2:12 pm, May 27th, 2009

    Airborne Toxic Event: I know I can certainly wait. Especially since all libertarian porn is either written by Ayn Rand or features Captain Kirk,Spock, Gandalf, and Harry Potter.

  32. Custerwolf says at 2:13 pm, May 27th, 2009

    SayItWithWookies: She looked like she needed something to do with her hands - and her mouth creeped me out even way worse than that Walt Whitman animation video. I don’t think that was actually her mouth.
    btw, just as I’m sitting here, two ospreys flew by me at eye level performing some amazing fucking areobatics along the river. Gary Larson is correct - birds of prey know they’re cool.

  33. Go Figure says at 2:19 pm, May 27th, 2009

    That was an interestin’ romp— but frankly m’dear I like this song better– Foreclosure then (to the tune of Rocket Man).
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFxBUFRdV5o&feature=player_embedded

    Yea yea… sure post that sucker if ya want.

  34. Mr Blifil says at 2:22 pm, May 27th, 2009

    Oh dear. Her career needs a major bailout. Girls, this is what comes of hanging around musicians with their freewheeling ways and their commitment to the pot smoking lifestyle. Although I must say, the behavior exhibited by the performers suggests meth-induced neural damage.

  35. Mr Blifil says at 2:23 pm, May 27th, 2009

    StephanieInCA: Bwaaa! Stephanie you rock WAAY harder than that stupid frigid bitch, no offense to my feminista sistas and brothas.

  36. Custerwolf says at 2:31 pm, May 27th, 2009

    I’m gonna have to fire up the chainsaw in order to get that god-forsaken hillbilly song out of my head.

  37. Custerwolf says at 2:32 pm, May 27th, 2009

    sezme: hahahahahhahahahhahhaah…agh….I need a bailout…..

  38. Hooray For Anything says at 2:33 pm, May 27th, 2009

    SmutBoffin: You can tell a lot about the state of things when the Great Depression brought a series of folk singers riding the rails to sing songs in support of labor unions and the working class. Today, we have a bunch of folk singers riding the SUV to sing songs in support of banks and rich people.

  39. Where’s Nate Sliver? Is winning 56+% in the last election considered “politically vulnerable?” If so they got Obama right where they want him!

  40. Youtubo delenda est! Really!

  41. Tommmcatt says at 4:46 pm, May 27th, 2009

    Those are the worst drag queens EVAR!

  42. eyetooth says at 4:54 pm, May 27th, 2009

    I covet the Dirt Mansion, but will never go to there because of the infestation of ever-multiplying Sign People, who apparently ate all the Production Values.
