Oh man thats gold.

I like the line about the sweet watermelon and buckwheat cake. I also enjoy the added extra level of irony of him being the picture beside "whitey" in the dictionary.

i'm pretty sure i've posted the nic jones version before

Gonna click this shit now son.

That's some damn sexy fangerpickin'. Also I have that exact levy's strap.

Political Science is the only non-Disney song by Randy Newman I had heard before this thread

Political Science is the only non-Disney song by Randy Newman I had heard before this thread

It's almost a shame that he started doing soundtracks, but he never really was big on performing, he wanted to be a song writer first and foremost, and even the songs he writes for Disney are great, but nothing touches this kind of satire, I really wish he would have continued with it.
