nice call and response goin' on
I've only heard John Valby's version of this OS... but it still sounds like somebody's getting f****d ;-)
Sounds like a good drinking song - as we lament being in the poorhouse. I see Bailout Ben is now accused of secretly telling B of A CEO to keep his mouth shut about crisis several months ago; but his Sixty Minutes appearance told us this would end soon. Hmm.
Great one...
A bit repetitious, but very, very good title and parody! Right now, anarchy sound pretty good.
Thanks all!
