We played “Stupidest People” for the preliminary round of the Songslam. There’s no video available just yet from Friday, but here’s the song from Zille:

The Stupidest People

But wait there’s more! Remember that time we got “inspired” and came up with the idea for she was? That was also the day of conception for 4 or 5 more proto-songs, amongst them, this one. And at least for this example, the first run improv worked out for the whole song, save a few revisions.

Proto-Stupidest People

This never gets old. Correction: this is getting old. Video footage and interviews of a recent Teaparty anti-healthcare rally.

What makes this one so special is that it starts us off with a little anti-immigrant demogoggery, then whips us into a rollercoaster ride of how great things were before those regulatin’ liberals and–somehow–political correctness ruined everybody’s fun.  It leaps right into a –misquoted– pro-God-in-the-pledge thing falsely attributed to Jay Leno, and then ends us off with a vague little motivational blah-blah.  And remember folks, if you’re stupid enough to not be an evangelical Christian, don’t come whining to the person who sent it to you, just delete it!

Just to make sure you UNDERSTAND everything, THE important WORDS are written BIG like THIS.
