Mitt Girl: *CALLING OUT* Ryan Girl!

[M---Girl]

So I see there's a Ryan Girl, singing "fiscal" instead of "physical" to the tune of Let's Get Physical, and the conservatives love it. Hannity is plugging it.

Since we're technically on the same "ticket", I can't challenge her to a debate.

I hereby challenge her to a jello wrestling match. (On the issues.)

Satire vs. dittoism
Subversion vs. pandering

Can DU make this happen? I'm willing to be your avatar of war.

My song:

Her song:

[EOTE]

1. Brilliant!

I love Hall & Oates and love the original. Your cover has a certain something, though. Here's to hoping you become the Obama Girl of 2012. Welcome to DU.

[M---Girl]

7. Thanks!

I've been an H&O fan as long as I can remember. And who isn't?

Hall and Oates Fans For America is a great name for a Super PAC. I just wished their lawyers agreed

[theKed]

26. well

You could always make it something similar but avoiding legal troubles

like "American Legitimate League of Hall and Oates Supporters for America", just abbreviate it to an acronym

ALL HOS for America

...oh wait...

Seriously, though, i dig the satirical song on Romney and hope theres plenty of views. It plays on the internet sensation of 2008's Obamagirl, but isnt simply copying her schtick for a new election.

[M---Girl]

28. Allhay and Oatsay

...Was one person's suggestion.

Thank you theKed!

[EOTE]

42. Believe it or not, there are some who have yet to appreciate their greatness.

Looks like your video is doing fairly well, I still think it could go viral shortly once people start sharing it on FB and such. It certainly deserves it, I've seen far lesser videos blow up in hours. Hope you enjoyed Louis C.K., he puts on a fantastic show.

[M---Girl]

43. Views

I would love it to get some momentum - anyone who runs a website or blog that has questions, wants info, the source file - you name it, hit me up!

The Louis C.K. show was great! My stomach hurt afterward from laughing so hard - his new hour of material is amazing. There's a bit where he talks about what it would be like if human beings had a foodchain, and if murder were legal, that I know people are going to be talking about soon

[Whisp]

2. lols. great stuff. you have a really good 'presence'.

and the words are just awesome.

congrats.

[DMacTX]

3. Very well done indeed. Superbly produced!

[kooljerk666]

4. my face is sore from smiling so much.

and this ain't helpin.

Awesome job, thank you.

[Democracyinkind]

5. OMFG This is the most clever and funny thing I've seen so far in this campaign!

It's clever, yet it's bad (the rape thing? OMG!). It has it all. Honestly, I think you're a freaking genius. I don't even know what else to say.

WIN!!!!!

[M---Girl]

9. The "bad" stuff that didn't make it

Thank you kindly!

There were some scenes planned that didn't make the final version - Mitt Romney washing the dog shit off a Porsche with secret servicemen wearing white hoods flanking him, Mitt glad-handing and campaigning down a line of Westboro Baptist protestors. That would have been awesome

[Cooley Hurd]

6. Welcome to DU, MittGirl!

Great video!

[PD Turk]

8. Well done!!

One huge difference, you can really sing, she sucks

[DHelix]

10. Awesome work

Everything that made her video a hit for some on the Right your video has and more humor. She sounds like a sliver spoon rich girl who's just been fed lies from her CEO dad. You sound you could be Sarah Silverman's BFF.

Nice job!

[M---Girl]

16. Yeah don't let the $1 bills fool you

No silver spoon here. I'm just a waitress. And that money went back in the bank afterwards for bills

[DMacTX]

11. someone please get this to Rachel's people asap

Would be a blast to see on tv!

..and yes, all political bias aside, what a lovely voice.

[M---Girl]

17. Love Rachel Maddow

Favorite

[GaYellowDawg]

12. Welcome to DU! You joined on my birthday

To see that kind of inventiveness... what a nice birthday gift!

[LiberalAndProud]

13. Nice. I really did listen twice.

That Ryan Girl thing, though, OMG, awful. Hannity can't really be serious.

[opiate69]

14. lol! that was awesome!

Great job, M___Girl!

[pa28]

15. Hey Ryan girl.

He's not going to call you. His plan takes 30 YEARS to balance the budget.

[Panasonic]

18. M-Girl

I am deaf, and unable to appreciate your YouTube video - would you mind subtitling it?

It's not very hard to do!

19. Lyrics

I'm on my cellphone right now (on the way to a Louis CK show, whoo hoo!) But I'll check out that link as soon as I get back to a computer. I'd be glad to help.

Lyrics (to the tune of "Rich Girl" by Hall and Oates)
I'm the Mitt Girl, with the dog on my car
Campaigning for Romney every day
Can't see my taxes, 'cause there's something funny
In the Cayman accounts where I hide my money
But in Mitt's world, if you bank offshore
Then you hardly claim income anyway
They say money money won't get you too far
Gotcha so far
CEO in name alone
It's so easy, to fire people if you can't feel pain
We don't know, what he owed
Harry Reid's a dong,
But we won't prove him wrong,
Now could you all run along?
Oh, if you're in Mitt's world
You're not a tax-cheat star
Without a billion in your own IRA
When you retire, more tax-free money
I can barely remember how to find my money!
That's a rich world
And it's gone too far
But you know it don't matter anyway
They say money money
Won't get you too far
Gotcha so far.
Paul Ryan
Would redefine rape
It's not easy
To get pregnant if you try to escape
And don't you know
That every fetus must grow
So he sponsored a bill
That would ban the pill
For the good of us all!
I'm the Mitt Girl,
And the Choice I've made
Is I want to overturn Roe v. Wade
If Mitt didn't lie to the Pro-Life money
Then men will decide on your health care honey,
And in Mitt's world
You can quote Ayn Rand
But still go to church anyway
Say money
but it won't get you too far,
(repeat 2x)
And they say
Jesus resides on the planet Kolob
Folks who believe that
Will get White House jobs,
This is Mitt's world,
a rich world
It's a rich, rich world, yeah
Say money
but it won't get you too far,
Gotcha so far

20. That is very very funny!.. Go "like" her on YouTube

At least one mouth breathing knuckle-dragger has follow her over there.

[M---Girl]

22. insults

Well, I guess it drew in the first binderhead

Thank you anabannana!

[NYC_SKP]

53. Thank you for keeping it far more classy and entertaining. The Ryan video...

...made me cringe with it's cheap sexualizations and, low-rent production values.

And, please Ryan girls, Google "camel toe"....

And to you, M---Girl:

Welcome to DU!

[Electric Monk]

23. I love it! Welcome to DU :)

[NiteOwll]

24. Ugh! Now I can't get that song outta my head!

Too funny! Shared it on FB.

[M---Girl]

25. Tell me about it

I've had a mish mash of the real lyrics and the Mitt version in my head for a month now.

Thanks for the share Niteowl!

[Oilwellian]

27. Mitt Girl, your video was fantastic

The Ryan Girl video is so freaking lame, just like everything else Republicans do. I mean, how many young women who look like her, work out in their parents spare, empty room, with a poster of Paul Ryan while singing Let's Get Fiscal? Does she really think Paul Ryan has been fiscally responsible?

Welcome to DU Mitt Girl!

[AsahinaKimi]

29. Great singing voice!

I hope you have a future with it!

[Kindly Refrain]

30. Mitt Girl, nice assets @1:27

[Oilwellian]

31. Why can't DU'ers click a couple of buttons...

and support Democratic video artists on YouTube? There's nothing worse than spending days producing a video like Mitt Girl did, only to find shall we say "a lack of enthusiasm" from fellow Democrats. Why can't we understand how important it is to show our support for liberal artists who put their hearts and souls into their work? They present our message to a much larger audience, in visually enlightening and entertaining ways. Why oh WHY can't we use the power of DU to help bump this young lady's video to the Top 100 Political Videos on YouTube? It's so easy to do, and would take just a few seconds of your time.

Steps you can take that would help bump the work of liberal artists to a much larger viewing audience:

The first 24 hours of a new YouTube video is crucial. That is the time span an artist has to make Top 100 Political videos. A lot of people go to that page on YouTube to see the best of the best, the ones that are making a buzz on the intertubes. If an artist makes it to the Top 100, the viewership increases tenfold. There are 3 things you can do to help make that happen.

Click the Watch on YouTube button on the screen displayed above. That alone will give the video a second hit. Viewing it here on DU counts as one, viewing it on YouTube counts again, and YouTube gives honors to most viewed videos, and it has to occur within the first 24 hours to make the Top 100 status.

Once on the YouTube page, click Like. YouTube gives honors to videos that are most liked on the first day, and that puts the artist in the Top 100 realm.

Leave a comment on the YouTube page. That again puts the artist in the potential realm of Top 100 if they garner enough comments the first day.

Granted, Mitt Girl's video can no longer earn Top 100 status because it was posted a few days ago. But it can still go viral if we help it along.

Mitt Girl, I highly recommend you create a Reddit account and post in their video forum. They have 3 million members so it's a huge viewership potential for you. I haven't checked out Tumblr but perhaps that's also another avenue for you. Create a Twitter account and post video under a popular, trending hash tag. Post your video on Daily Kos. They're usually great at promoting liberal videos. When you create a work of art, be ready to promote it on the first day, and have all of your accounts on various liberal forums established and ready to go.

These are just a few kernels of wisdom I've gained through the years while promoting my own work, and hope I've enlightened DU'ers on ways they can help promote the "liberal" arts.

[Hutzpa]

32. It could be the satire is not catching

not too funny and lacking enthusiasm. People are pissed off with Romney and anything not making him look like an ass is frowned upon because we know he is an ass.

Obama girl was much more energetic with bundles of enthusiasm. You wanted an opinion right?

Just sayin'

[M---Girl]

34. K

I agree that the satire is probably handicapping the view count.

As far as the enthusiasm comment, I can't help but think of scene in Lost in Translation. "Again... With mohr... INTENSITY."

I don't think very highly of the Crush on Obama video, believe it or not. But definitely the right timing and a good idea by the fella who assembled it, and this is definitely an homage to it in some ways.

[M---Girl]

33. Thanks - good advice!

I didn't know Kos had a forum - I'll take a look.

As far as reddit, the rules of the top subreddits were unfortunate. You can't post this in /r/ movies because it's political. You can't post it in /r/politics because it's humorous. You can't post it in /r/funny because it's political. (And now you're off the front page, and the big auto-subscriptions).

It was posted in /r/politicalhumor, made their front page, and got hammered by down votes.

People that either disagreed, didn't watch it to realize it wasn't pro-Mitt, or just plain didn't like it - fair enough. And there were a lot of them.

[theKed]

35. You ought to

either post your video as a video response to the "Ryan Girl" song, or actually film one with a challenge to her. Her video (I am sad to see) has quite a lot more views and might draw some of her traffic ... or get a response which can only boost your exposure.

[Risen Demon]

36. Your video is a lot better

And you're more attractive IMO.

The other girl's video is as poorly made as a home made porno.

And welcome to DU

[DesertRat]

37. k&r

[JNelson6563]

38. Well done!

You are a clever and talented young lady! Rock on!

Julie

[The Midway Rebel]

39. Marry me M---Girl!

k&r

[annabanana]

40. another kick for one funny video! . . . .n/t

[Blue_In_AK]

41. MittGirl, this is wonderful.

I'm more than happy to share on Facebook. LOVE IT.

[M---Girl]

51. Thanks Blue!

People liking it enough to share is the only way it'll have an impact!

[AmericanCrotchroad]

44. awesome

Thanks for all the great responses and shares, guys!

[eyewall]

45. I didn't see this thread until just now, the other one I did see only had a few replies.

I'm relieved to see the response here.
I've done what I can think of to help move it along. did comments and likes at youtube, shared on facebook and posted in a couple other forums. This has to go viral. Once again, excellent job on every aspect of this Mitt Girl!

[M---Girl]

47. Thank you!

That's the kind of help it needs, and I really appreciate it!

[MrScorpio]

46. Welcome to DU, M---Girl

Your vid was ten times better, snappier and funnier than Paul Ryan girl. Which is what happens when your brain is on reality and her's is on Ayn Rand

Stick around

[AmericanCrotchroad]

48. early afternoon bump!

Go Mittgirl! Views doubled since yesterday, ty everyone who watched or is sharing

[lovemydog]

49. It makes me laugh

I liked it on youtube, shared it on facebook, & subscribed to the channel. Love parody & love Hall & Oates. Like the productions values. Plus, you're charming & hot.

'Harry Reid's a dong but we won't prove him wrong you can all run along'

Buahaha.

[M---Girl]

50. Cutting the "dong" out of paper

...was easily the highlight of my week. Either that, or standing with that sign while concerned security guards and confused rubberneckers were watching. I'm sure it caused a few people that night to Google Harry Reid + dong on their phones.

[upi402]

52. I was thinking Robnme called Reid the nickname for Richard

Yeah, Dems have more soul and a light in the eye that's missing in Rethugs. Dance better too. Lots of work went into that! Great work.

[hootinholler]

54. Ski mask baby is funny!

Spray tan is pretty good too.

[Mother Of Four]

55. LOVED yours-

But I couldn't even get through the first 60 seconds of Ryan girl. Ugh.

Please keep it up

(goes to the next thread singing "Money money won't get ya too far, gotcha so far&quot

[great white snark]

56. K&R for the saturday morning crowd.

Brilliant job M---Girl!

[AmericanCrotchroad]

58. Thanks!

I appreciate it!

[Amaril]

57. Awesome job, M---Girl!

Loved it. Ryan Girl isn't fit to be your backup singer.

[TheDonkey]

59. I liked the Akin IMs

Lol'ed at that little exchange.

[Ceem]

60. Hey M---Girl

Any plans to do another one?
