if that sounds like a dream come true then you will cream your jeans when you hear the right brothers and their new song "bush was right." imagine billy joel's "we didn't start the fire", with new pro-bush anti-liberal lyrics, with a chorus that sounds kind of like a christian rock band, or similar to those syruppy alternapop bands who wrote songs like "1985" or "stacy's mom" (i refuse to look up who wrote those songs. if you're heard them, you know).
think progress has the lowdown, as well as a 30-second excerpt. you seriously should check it out.
as keith olbermann said, "neither country joe nor the backstreet boys have anything to worry about." olbermann's show also produced a video for the song. it has more flag graphics than the colbert report. and i love the graphics of bush rockin' out on the guitar. crooks & liars has the video for your entertainment.
once the right brothers finish making their own video, they will start a grassroots campaign to push it to the top of TRL. if this campaign isn't successful, they say, it will be proof of the media's liberal bias. because just like the music of dirk diggler, "it's that's good."
here are the lyrics, in their entirety, as taken from think progress:
Freedom in Afghanistan, say goodbye Taliban
Free elections in Iraq, Saddam Hussein locked up
Osama’s staying underground, Al Qaida now is finding out
America won’t turn and run once the fighting has begun
Libya turns over nukes, Lebanese want freedom, too
Syria is forced to leave, don’t you know that all this means
Bush was right!
Bush was right!
Bush was right!
Democracy is on the way, hitting like a tidal wavev All over the middle east, dictators walk with shaky knees
Don’t know what they’re gonna do, their worst nightmare is coming true
They fear the domino effect, they’re all wondering who’s next
Bush was right!
Bush was right!
Bush was right!
Ted Kennedy - wrong!
Cindy Sheehan - wrong!
France - WRONG!
Zell Miller - right!
Economy is on the rise kicking into overdrive
Angry liberals can’t believe it’s cause of W’s policies
Unemployment’s staying down, Democrats are wondering how
Revenue is going up, can you say “Tax Cuts”
Bush was right!
Bush was right!
Bush was right!
Cheney was right, Condi was right,
Rummy was right, Blair was right
You were right, We were right, “The Right” was right
and Bush was right…
Bush was right!
Bush was right!
in other words, america, fuck yeah! (i still haven't seen that movie... we'll need to rent it.)¶
