Couldn’t resist. First saw this here.
Yes, Randy Newman yet again.You have to admit, though the words don’t always fit, the tone of the song goes great with the visuals.
I saw the video a few days ago and when I went searching for it on youtube to post it here, I stumbled on this, a version of the same song by a guy named Howard Tate, who I’m guessing is from New Orleans. The song is actually about the flooding that took place in 1927, so it became quite topical after Katrina. About a minute or so into this video the voice of our former president comes on, and it’s really quite shocking. How did a dunce like that ever manage to steal the office? I’d almost forgotten the way he talked in empty cliches, straight from an empty heart and an empty brain.
