It's out there on the net somewhere. Ridiculously funny, same outrageous hairdo as his yak fuzz.

Ty for sharing!

I know it's out there on the internet because I've seen it. Had a copy on old phone that died.

The soundtrack and the film combine to tell an epic story: Trump and Musk are too demented to ever use their money and power to accomplish anything good. They occupy Cloud Cuckoo Land.





Two fugitives of the human race [Pisthetærus and Euelpides] fall into the domain of the birds, who resolve to revenge themselves on them for the numerous cruelties which they have suffered: the two men contrive to save themselves by proving the pre-eminency of the birds over all other creatures, and they advise them to collect all their scattered powers into one immense state; the wondrous city, Cloudcuckootown, is then built above the earth; all sorts of unbidden guests, priests, poets, soothsayers, geometers, lawyers, sycophants, wish to nestle in the new state, but are driven out; new gods are appointed, naturally enough, after the image of the birds, as those of men bore a resemblance to a man. Olympus is walled up against the old gods, so that no odour of sacrifices can reach them; in their emergency, they send an embassy, consisting of the voracious Hercules, Neptune, who swears according to the common formula, by Neptune, and a Thracian god, who is not very familiar with Greek, but speaks a sort of mixed jargon; they are, however, under the necessity of submitting to any conditions they can get, and the sovereignty of the world is left to the birds.

Thank you, DFW! Sometimes we need to be reminded that Ideas are the most powerful things ever.

It was one of the easier and simpler numbers we’ve ever recorded, but we thought it had plenty of impact all the same.

It kind flew under the radar when we first did it, but that was before the election, when we were all so sure of a different outcome.

Although the one we’ve just started on is just the opposite. Variety is the spice of life, and all that…..
