Eric Idle's FCC Song! Have you HEARD this yet?
Yesterday, while FM-radio-surfing in the car, I lingered for a moment on a station that plays a lot of obscure house music and sometimes even vintage punk, and heard something that made me bust a gut (and turn the volume way UP).

I had no idea who did it, so when I got home, I Googled a few lyrics, and found it (on the radio, every "f---" was replaced by a duck's "quack") -- it's by Eric Idle:

Spoken: Here's a little song I wrote the other day while I was out duck hunting with a judge... It's a new song, it's dedicated to the FCC and if they broadcast it, it will cost a quarter of a million dollars. ...

F--- you very much the FCC
F--- you very much for fining me
Five thousand bucks a f---
So I'm really out of luck
Thats more than Heidi Fleiss was charging me
So f--- you very much the FCC
For proving that free speech just isn't free
Clearchannel's a dear channel
So Howard Stern must go
Attorney General Ashcroft doesn't like strong words and so
He's charging twice as much
For all the drugs for Rush Limbaugh
So f--- you all so very much!

So f--- you very much dear Mr. Bush
For heroically sitting your tush
For Halliburton, Enron, all the companies who fail
Lets send them a clear signal
And stick Martha straight in jail
She's an uppity rich bitch
And at least she isn't male
So f--- you all so very much!

So f--- you Mr. Dick Head Cheney too
F--- you and f--- everything you do
Your pacemaker must be a fake
You haven't got a heart
As far as I'm concerned
You're a pasty faced old fart
And as for Condoleeza
She's an intellectual tart
So f--- you all so very much!

So f--- you very much the EPA
For giving all Alaska's oil away
It really is a bummer
When I can't fill my Hummer
The Ozone's a no go zone
Now that Arnolds here to stay
The Olympic Winter games are going to take place in LA
So f--- you all so very much!

So what the planet fails
Lets save the great white males
And f--- you all so very much!

Quack!


You KNOW things are looking bad for * when a "novelty" song like this makes it to FM radio in a major metro market during afternoon rush hour!

That's the joys of being from a liberal family...at get togethers we all gather round the puter and listen to things like this and watch Symbolman and americanstranger's flash flicks!
