Friday Funny – Congressional Frosh

Elmer Beauregard of Minnesotans for Global Warming writes in with today’s funny: M4GW’s Newest Song – I’m a Denier

He writes:

It’s a parody of “I’m a Believer” written by Neil Diamond and performed by the Monkees. This version was written by Elmer Beauregard and Brian D. Smith and performed by Elmer and the M4GW players.

This song is in honor of all the new Republican Freshman entering Congress and the Senate most of whom are Deniers and proud of it.

I think this is song may be our “Tour de Farce”

Well at least he didn’t choose Manfred Mann’s “Blinded by the light”. Watch below.

Just got to love the M4GW, they are great.
Have you seen the up-dated “Hide the Decline” video, with the “I’ll sue” references?

Commiserations to your drummer mate. Could be in for a bit of stick once the general public realises what da Mann did.

Think it was a vocoder not auto-tune. Has to be an extreme correction to have that effect, (a la Cher).

A great follow up to “Hide the Decline”. Another chart topper for sure. Now I’ve got two songs I can hum in shower.
Great job Elmer and M4GW from a fellow Minnesnowdan.

The MM doppleganger was good, but I was somewhat disappointed by the lyrics, which could have better matched the original, something like
I thought warming wasn’t just a fairytale
Everyone would cook, including me
Heat was out to get me,
That’s the way it seemed
Fear of frying haunted all my dreams.
Then I saw the light,
Now I’m a denier,
Not a trace of doubt in my mind
etc

If you have,”not a trace of doubt in my mind”, then you cannot be a sceptic… “got a little doubt in my mind”, more appropriate, unless you really are a “denier”

OK, which web-savvy individual is going to start a Rage-Against-The-Machine-style viral campaign to get this to the UK No1? Let’s get everyone laughing and listening. The UK could use some good humour and common sense about now …

Real art from AWG, excellent work 2010 just keeps on getting better. Up here the Premier of British Columbia just quit and the Canadain Minister of the Enviroment did too. Both AWG bedwetters (the better to tax you with my dear). Of course there is no connection to the Republicans win in your recent election (Bless you all) For our politicos will follow your lead and so you have helped us out bigtime once again. Thanks again.

I must have viewed “Hide the Decline” at least 30 times, and this is another keeper. Well done M4GW – thanks for another video that prompts repeated LOLs! There’s no decline in your talents to hide! 🙂

ROFLMAO!!!
Mann, that was awesome! Maybe Michael Mann was trying to make up for the hassel over Hide the Decline. Think he could sue to force them to cover up the double’s face? He’s priceless! (you have to kinda feel sorry for the guy, who’d want to look just like MM, considering ClimateGate and all?)
Ok, but who is the guy with the super long hair supposed to be? I think they needed a little better Gore mask, but heck, I’m not complaining – they got me rockin’ over here, with a huge grin on my face.
Anthony, thank you so much for posting this!!
