Barack Obama stole Missouri state-auditor candidate Tom Schweich’s freedom and rights the other day, like out of the front yard or something, so Schweich created this revolutionary Republican rock anthem to get back at socialism. If you ever wondered, “What would a wingnut chief of staff to John Bolton do with his ample spare time?”, here is your comprehensive video answer.
“Ambassador Tom” and his back-up band, the Mortgaged Youth, are “ready to fight fight fight” the elitist monster Obama, who sold Schweich’s son to the Chinese communists in exchange for some lead-painted toys, and talked back to the Supreme Court like a smart-ass, and made respectful gestures toward foreign leaders, among other vile things. They have God on their side, and Mickey who works down at the Em-Ge’s Carcraft, and a cool red hot rod. See folks, this is how art shapes the future. [YouTube]

I had to turn it off when the “hot” lady mounted the treadmill.
I don’t like being this embarrassed for someone this early in the day.
I can’t wait for Rock Band: Wingnut Edition to come out. That’ll be the coolest game EVAH! And by coolest, I mean shittier than the Atari 2600* ET Game.
*for you youngin’s Atari 2600 was the PlayStaion/Xbox of the Olds time.
i did a minute 19 of that crapfest and that’s it, oh, yeah yeah. what a pussed-out way to go demanding your freedom back, oh. yeah yeah. your wife does need my help, buddy, oh, yeah yeah. and i’ll take the dolly on the treadmill, too, oh, yeah yeah. do you even know what the word fight means, oh, yeah yeah? i’m so scared of you, but not for any of the reasons you may suspect, oh, yeah yeah.
If one wishes to make euphonious and enjoyable music and post it on the web as a “video” one must first AT A MINIMUM:
1. Learn to play more than 3 chords on your guitar
2. Be able to sing on key
3. Maintain a consistent time signature throughout
4. Refrain from cliches in both the composition of the music, and in the images which accompany it.
In short, DON’T BE A FUCKING LAME-ASS HACK.
That is all.
“More tunes from the Inchoate Ramblings here on the King Wingnut Flower Hour — brought to you by the Tea Klux Klan Networkkk — but first, these messages…”
[re=562911]ManchuCandidate[/re]: Will it be as shitty as the Friday the 13th Game for NES where you always got killed by Jason five seconds in???
Needs more Corvids.
“Schweish”, is that an English name? I like Ambassador Tom’s hair. Sharp dresser too. Go America!
These “lyrics” suffer from pronoun-antecedent confusion*:
We don’t like it
Not gonna take it
With God’s help
We’re gonna make it
If you don’t like “it,” how is God going to help you make “it”?
_______________
*or “grammar fail”
I have audited this video and find it artistically bankrupt.
Also, I have a sinking feeling those are his kids — I don’t think any young person not under his legal or financial control would have agreed to do that.
Um…I think if you’ve recorded and are performing a song called “Gimme Back my Freedom” and wondering where oh where your rights have gone, and haven’t had the jack-boots unplug those grungy geetars; UR DOIN IT RONG.
I would say that’s pathetic and insufferable, but those adjectives have warned me that they want nothing to do with that video.
You’ve got to fight for your right to be mundane, apparently.
Well, apparently, they still have the freedumb to make shitty-ass videos, so there’s that. Freebird, bitches….
Schweish’s sizable St. Louis schnoz simply screams sexytime.
Normally I’d say, “don’t quit your day job”, but — uh oh, too late.
Great, another lame-ass teabagger who thinks he can sing and play rock-and-roll.
Really, anyone who is only complaining about loss of freedom after Obama was elected should be forced to watch themselves sing these lame songs over and over for a week without stopping.
Gimme back my 4:26, you buzzard. I liked the close ups of his lame ass guitar playing and the troglodyte bass “groove.” It’s like, here is a close-up on the ineptitude. Additionally the “hot” girl has SOME big bottom.
I guess I should address this to the nutters, but what freedoms have been taken exactly?
The nice thing is that the rhymes are so predictable that you can sing along the first time you hear it.
[re=562932]queeraselvis v 2.0[/re]: nice alliteration!
Neil Young has reason to worry.
i think the united states supremes need more diana ross.
[re=562925]freakishlystrong[/re]: [re=562931]The Church of Realism[/re]: Unfortunately, this man has clearly not had any freedoms taken away from him. Though he’s definitely exercising his freedom to make everyone else want to take his freedoms away, or at least his video camera.
Needs more robes.
“This next song, it’s a protest song. I’ve suffered for my music, and now it’s your turn.”
Are the lyrics that complicated that we need subtitles? Oh wait it’s for teabaggers.
Also love the your destroy-style sweats drummer dude!
[re=562945]JMP[/re]: but not more rubes
umm…Pete Seeger would be proud?
Man Jello Biafra has really let himself go.
These pathetic moonbats are this century’s iteration of the perfectly lampooned gas bags in “A Mighty Wind.”
[re=562945]JMP[/re]: You know it. And freakishly long white beards!
Writin’ lyrics is hard.
Oh, and is there a whole album by Mr. “yeah yeah right right”? I’ll take four plz.
Always with the art.
[re=562913]Tommmcatt[/re]: And what about the lame misuse of the treadmill? Fuck your rights ambassador, Ok Go! wants their gimmick back.
[re=562937]J.Robert Oppenheiner[/re]: The freedom not to have a black president, of course.
I’m not even going to turn it on. It’s too close to the drinking hour for my head to explode.
[re=562958]RoscoePColtraine[/re]: You only have 4 people you hate?
Note to the secret service: the translation from the Teabagger Language of “gimme back my freedom or I’m gonna fight” into English would read, roughly, “The presidents a negro and I hate him and I’m going to do something violent unless somebody stops me first.”
This sounds suspiciously like “Bohemian Like You” from the Dandy Warhols.

Oh by the way Angry Childrapist McAngerson, here’s how it’s actually done…

Adam Ant reference ftw! I’ve been gone (lost my password) for half a year, so I dunno who this “Apple” person is, but can we keep her?
[re=562955]germansteel[/re]: I guess you’re right. I was hoping that we had some sort of massive Dadaist conspiracy on our hands.
And WTF does the Missouri state auditor have to do with “freedom,” either positively or negatively?
Missouri is so lame, and I speak with the solemn authority of an eight-year resident of the Mound City. Cockfighting’s legal though, so there’s that!
[re=562917]mookworthjwilson[/re]:
Probably worse. At least those kids in Friday 13th had their misery ended by the sweet release of death.
“Well you think you’re so smart that you can run my life.”
I guess he couldn’t think of anything that rhymes with uppity.
[re=562946]Lascauxcaveman[/re]: Neil Innes rules!
I’m actually kind of digging the strange Les Paul gold top copy. Never seen on with blonde neck/black inlay look before, or that headstock shape. I’m wondering if its some old Japanese thing from the fabled Matsumoku factory or something the kid cobbled together form parts.
[/guitar nerd]
[re=562969]V572625694[/re]: Aren’t the rules for Missouri Cockfighting adapted from those of fencing but for people with very short fleshy weapons?
One time on Gilligan’s Island they did a spoof on The Beatles, only Gilligan’s band called itself The Mosquitos. Right. The Mosquitos was fuckin wayyyy better. Yeah, yeah, yeah…..no, no, no…etc.
[re=562963]yargisbargis[/re]: Only four that I hate with such passion.
[re=562947]yargisbargis[/re]: They’re so Mr. Schlockmeister’s multitudinous fans can get the lyrics just right when they transcribe them so that they can be lovingly embossed on gilt-edged portraits of St. Ronnie the Doddering. He’ll be having none of those transcription errors that so marred the historical record of other great prophets like Jesus and Richard Nixon and such.
Youtube commenter desmo2006 points out:
Any apologies for stealing directly from the Dandy Warhol’s “Bohemian Like You”? Certainly can trust a guy to be an auditor who blatantly steals copyrights! You go gurl!!
[re=562952]Mr Blifil[/re]: Jello Biafra has also apparently lost his mind.
[re=562965]Cicada[/re]: Ooops. Props to you.
“like out of the front yard or something”
Freedom is a plastic pink flamingo.
If this wingnut demands his “freedom” back (which basically means removal of black president from White House), can we in turn demand that he forfeit rock and roll back to black people?
[re=562967]ithasatilde[/re]: Adam Ant– now there’s a blast from the past!
This whole teabagger thing is like, well, these guys didn’t get to enjoy the sixties when it happened, so now, when they are old and their parents can’t keep them locked up in the house, and they have the money to buy “geetars” and all those things they weren’t allowed to have before, now they get to “rawk out” and be on “videos” and have “happenings” and “be-ins” and instead of Peter Max they have their “joker socialism” psychedelia equivalents. Kind of sad, actually. Think of how polarized some of these nursing homes will be in a few years.
The music department at “Webster University” would like to talk to you about the music stand you stole from them to prop up your “lyrics” in that studio.
Only in wingnut America can a guy with Gibson tobacco burst Le$ Paul in a 24 track recording studio complain about the awful tyranny he lives under.
Another fucking trough slopper (Missouri state auditor) bitching about too much government.
“Gimme back my freedom or I’m gonna fight.” With what? Your geeetar? Just another pussy teabagger. Those people will get around to starting a revolution when the sun rises in the west.
It appears that I have mixed up my obscure 80s hits. As much as I *wanted* that to be an Adam Ant reference, I have conflated “Goody Two Shoes” with the famous racist anthem “Turning Japanese”. Why do you hate Asians so much, “Apple”?
[re=562965]Cicada[/re]: THANK YOU wuz about to post that. You know he has listened to that and thought, “oh man, that’s a far out tune” or whatever boomers that have become wingnut psychopaths say when they are into rock music.
[re=562964]Ducksworthy[/re]: Good, but a slight mistranslation. I read it as:
“The president’s a negro and I hate him and I’m going to threaten to do something violent but actually I’m not going to do a fucking thing because I and my entire movement are 100% full of shit.”
Potato, potahto.
[re=562917]mookworthjwilson[/re]:
Movie tie-in + Shitty graphics + totally frustating gameplay. It was a fantastic concept – kind of like E.T. for the Atari 2600.
Is this supposed to be threatening? I’m pretty sure 70 year old Nancy Pelosi could single-handedly kick these guys’ asses.
Kathyrn Jean Lopez is blowing a roadie right now for a backstage pass.
[re=562912]slappypaddy[/re]: 0:37 – a new record for me listening to a fucktard fandango! I am striving to achieve a minute by December, unless Sister Snowclit starts singing on her new TLC suckstravaganza!
Pretty tight band, apart from the lead douchebag.
[re=562913]Tommmcatt[/re]: Numbers 1, 2 and 3 would disqualify most of the greatest rock ‘n roll ever performed or recorded along with, say, every single Velvet Underground track, but Number 4 is a consideration … yet still not a dealbreaker, as some of the best rock ‘n roll was also cliche-ridden rip-offs with no poetic or musical value other than some Unknown Magic that likely happened by accident/genius.
Even the old “leave politics out of it” has many, many exceptions: Bob Dylan’s protest songs, Sam Cooke’s “A Change Is Gonna Come,” pretty much every Staple Singers single, the Clash and the Pistols, Public Enemy, Bob Marley, etc. etc.
This guy’s problem is that he’s a stupid, talentless asshole driven by impotent fear of everything. That describes all teabaggers, of course, but not all teabaggers run for office and put their musical abortions on the public youtubes.
Needs moar opression.
When Roger Daltrey sang “I hope I die before I get old” and Pete Townshend smashed his guitar, Missouri state-auditor candidate Tom Schweich was the bastard they were rebelling against.
[re=562913]Tommmcatt[/re]: Or, if you’re just going to use 3 chords at least throw in a cuplz of sus2 and/or sus4s.
Ooh hoo
all right
Catchy stuff. Like herpes.
[re=562969]V572625694[/re]: I grew up in eastern Kansas. Missouri was our West Virginia. We primarily went there for booze, fireworks, gambling, and full-contact lap dances.
[re=563003]GoinGreen[/re]: you might want to ease into it. the sedative or sedatives of your choice should be close at hand (if not already circulating through your blood). and keep clear of the dense throwables. no sense punishing your monitor or windows, or frightening your pets.
[re=562969]V572625694[/re]: Is that like cockdocking?
needs moar E7#9
[re=562999]smitallica[/re]: How succinct you are.
Give him back his “Freedom”? Uh, okay, sure. Whatever. But first give him back his hair.
[re=562965]Cicada[/re]: Reatards don’t write their own songs, silly rabbit.
[re=563016]weejee[/re]: Excuse me while I kiss this guy…
I think Lauri is turning Japanese on us.
[re=562967]ithasatilde[/re]: She’s a good – and she a hott too, in an 80′s SJP kinda way!
Needs moar whiskey jug. (Yes, that’s a corn cob.)
[re=562985]Way Cool Larry[/re]: No. Syd Barrett is a blast from the past. Adam Ant is a speed bump in music evolution.
“We love every life from the day iy it was conceived”
Yeah, right.
[re=562996]RPolanski[/re]: Well, a state auditor wields a lot of power. In related news, the Teabagger candidate for Dog Catcher of Joplin is running on a platform of repealing health care reform.
Get on the phone, Davis! Leno has to hear this!
“Free is when you don’t have to pay for nothing or do nothing we want to be FREE!”

Tom: I think I see the root of your problem, so to speak. “You talk way down to small town (white) girls… Come down from you tower” = penis envy.
[re=562980]Sharkey[/re]: Yeah, that was my first thought. A total rip off of the Dandy Warhols.
I like it!
[re=563005]Ken Layne[/re]: straight up… three chord burners rule…awful treacle just sucks….and learning how to sing without seeming to use a pronunciation guide would help too…
For all we have achieved, we deserve ’59 gold top reissues. Because Duane Allman played one (real not reissue), and we’re kinda like him.
Needs more cowbell.
Rock and roll for Dummies?
Ok…I listened. Now I am scarred for ever. One thing though…you’d have thought they would turn comments off on the vid.
Interesting. Apparently if you cross certain people in the GOP, you stand a good chance of being relegated to running for an obscure office in an obscure and backward state. Who’d thunkit. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/27/magazine/27AFGHAN-t.html?scp=3&sq=Thomas%20Schweich&st=cse Also it don’t pay to piss off the drug lords.
[re=562997]ithasatilde[/re]: yeah, that was the Vapors. What we have here is “Piss-ant Music for Piss-ant People”, so I understand the confusion.
[re=563032]GOPCrusher[/re]: Makes you wonder which song Tom Schweich will rip off for the B-side. “Desperate But Not Serious,” or “Vegetable Man?”
Needs more “Dueling Banjos”.
[re=563055]ioksotot23[/re]: Sometimes it can be done with two…
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHGaeaFTB6A&feature=related
“Daddy’s doing Sister Sally
Grandma’s dying of cancer now
The cattle all have brucellosis
We’ll get through somehow
Sweet Home Alabama,
play that dead band song
Turn those speakers way on up
Play it all night long”
Also, is anyone else getting a creepy stalker vibe from this video?

[re=562936]Carrie_Okie[/re]: some big bottom, yeah! And therefore, not without redeeming prurient interest – I like big butts and I cannot lie!
I’ve changed my mind. I don’t like it anymore.

@Lascauxcaveman: I’m thinking Cort.
[re=563086]Julius Drinkwater[/re]: Guess the MoTeatards know how to play “jurism”
Not sure about hand to hand but I could kick this guy’s ASS onstage…
[re=563070]Norbert[/re]: That’s not the Vapors — that’s totally Liz Phair’s cover!
[re=562911]ManchuCandidate[/re]: Haha, totally- I got ET for Christmas one time. Ran downstairs and popped it in my 2600 and said “what?” It was about as much fun as a car accident.
[re=562965]Cicada[/re]: I was totally going to say that. How…..ironic?
[re=562917]mookworthjwilson[/re]: Oh man, I forgot about that. That was insane. I still want my $30 back.
[re=562936]Carrie_Okie[/re]: Back in Missouri, we called that “FFA Butt.” It think it’s the corn or the pork or something. I’m a fan, actually.
[re=563086]Julius Drinkwater[/re]: I bet he really didn’t want to admit to liking a band called the Dandy Warhols. Smacks too much of teh ghey to appeal to his fan base. Quite funny that his respect for property rights appears to end at intellectual property.
Uh yeah dude I’ll fight you anyplace, anytime.
Did anyone else notice the wet spot on the front of his jeans @2:10? I think that’s when he came in them, the prevert (sic).
Fight = I’m going to get in your face and whine plaintively.
He sings right off the bat about his wife so you know he’s not gay. He wants to clear that up. So he and his wife are rocking for their freedom. OK. So this is the future of Dork Rock. I glad I was here for that moment.
[re=562965]Cicada[/re]: That’s the first thing that I thought when I heard it. I’m sure he just can’t admit to being influenced by a band full o’ San Francisco-based, commie-lovin libtards.
I didn’t bother reading the comments so if it’s already been noted whatever. But this song is a total rip off of the dandy warhols http://bit.ly/4wm7nD
[re=562980]Sharkey[/re]: Totsl rippoff of Bohemian Like You but made ugly.
[re=563086]Julius Drinkwater[/re]: Too bad Schweich didn’t also rip off the naked parts of the original video. Its amazing how plagiarized it is, I suppose that’s the freedom he wants.
I wonder, will he rip off Pavement next? Or just stick to Portland lo-fi bands from the 90s? (Hazel, anyone?) “grunge for teabaggers”?
Remember when they used to say: rock and roll will never die. I think I just witnessed its death.
I kept misreading that line from the refrain as “We don’t need your handjobs.”
What amazes me is they think this is good enough to put out there…I can hear the ridicule from my house.
That was just sad.
I think Bob Roberts did it better back in the day…
[re=562937]J.Robert Oppenheiner[/re]: N-word privileges.
the dandy warhols could definitely do a cease and desist for this one.
nice “from behind” shots of the girl on the treadmill, christ.
[re=562937]J.Robert Oppenheiner[/re]:
The freedom to:
- Consummate with any barnyard critter of your own selection; particularly the one in the neighbor’s yard; she is a such tease
- Drop out of the fourth grade, again
- Loiter near a daycare center
- Swill a bottle of Jack while doing wheelies in front of your ex-wife’s trailer home, the bitch
- Do a citizen’s arrest on that fucking Hindustani behind the counter at the goddam Piggly Wiggly (he smirks behind my back, you know), or on a Meskin, same damn thing
- Not pay child support, the ungrateful little shits
- Make a few kilos of crystal in your garage, purely for local sale to them stupid high school kids
- Use Ameros as legal tender for electricity bills
- Deny paternity
- Sit on the front porch and eat bugs
Somebody help this guy find his freedom for god’s sake & make this “song” stop.
“We’re all normal and we want our freedom…. alla God’s chillun gotta have dere freedom!”

I yearn for the days when conservatives stuck to writing awful country songs instead of sullying the genres of hip-hop and rock.
Coming next:
Tea Party Techno Beatz
Tea Party Funk
Tea Party Polka

The lame poser stole the song.
It’s a rip-off of the Dandy Warhols’”Bohemian Like You” – in fact, he first called it “Conservative Like You” .
http://www.firedupmissouri.com/
What is it with Republicans and stealing people’s music??? I received my masters in music from Webster, and I’m going to contact them to see if they want to press charges for theft of the stand.
The lame poser stole the song!
It’s a bad rip-off of “Bohemian Like You” by the Dandy Warhols – in fact his “tentative title” for the song was “Conservative Like You”.
What is it with Republicans and stealing people’s music?
Oops! Sorry for the double post!
I can’t wait for their blues number:
“Oh, I woke up in the morning, and I saw my Porsche was gone!” “Well, it made me so damn mad, I threw my Champagne on the lawn!”
Dandy Warhols aside, Tom totally stole the spirit of the video from VIVA VIAGRA
