When I was “voluntold” to write a song about Yosi Sargent and the NEA scandal, I went into my studio, wrote the song “Yosi Needs A Hug” and laid it down.
When the story broke that a woman, ACORN activist Bon Bon Hurd, was caught on tape admitting that she and her comrades had basically gotten Obama elected, my wife, Shelli and I went in the studio and laid down “Bon Bon.”
When it was “suggested” that Retracto the Correction Alpaca needed a theme song, Michael Broderick, Shelli, a diva alpaca and I went into the studio and knocked out “Retracto’s Theme.”
And most recently, when the Agenda Project launched their astroturf “F*ck Tea” campaign with a video featuring Lily Allen’s song, “Fuck You,” Michael, Shelli, Boris Zelkin and I recorded “See You In November“:
As with the Tea Party movement, some days you have to roll with “The Army You Have.” Today it’s one person. Tomorrow it’s ten. The next day it’s a thousand. The other side starts to worry and look for ways to knock off the leader, only to discover there is no leader, only an army, spiritually connected, sharing the same values and vision for the greatest nation on earth.

Lyrics: ‘See You In November’
When our mommy told you to use your words
I don’t think that’s what she meant
You’ve forgotten all about the good old days
When it was patriotic to dissent
Ooh, aren’t you so clever
With those words we’ll always remember
But nothing lasts forever
See you in November
Shuffling your feet and your moping around
No more change in your cute man-purse
I can see your future in your coffee grounds
It’s only going to get much worse
Ooh, aren’t you so clever
With those words we’ll always remember
But nothing lasts forever
See you in November
That’s a nice shirt it says, I’m with stupid
And the arrow’s pointing at your friends
Another swing and miss just like all the others
We all know how it’s going to end
Ooh, aren’t you so clever
With those words we’ll always remember
But nothing lasts forever
See you in November
