China In Lights in NYC - Mama Mama We're All Commies Now

Greetings,

In case you haven't heard, the Empire State Building is going to be lit up Red (to celebrate B.O.s new economic policies?) and Yellow (to celebrate our new Foreign Policy?) to celebrate 60 years of COMMUNISM (that's right this is not a typo) in China.

W-h-h-a-a-a-t?

Read it and weep:


Empire State Building to glow red on Chinese anniversary

A Red and Yellow Glow for Celebration, and for Protest

Blood and Treasure On the Empire State Building


Idunno why but it reminds me of an old Metal tune

To the tune of "MAMA WEER ALL CRAZEE NOW" by Quiet Riot (originally Slade [with apologies]):

I don't want to be a patriot like you do
I should't spend my money but still do

Don't stop spendin' c'mon
Another buck now a-c'mon
I wanna lot now so c'mon
That's right, that's right
I said mama but we're all commies now
I said mama but we're all commies now
I said mama but we're all commies now

A you told me overspending won't hurt me
A you tax me and all my people desert me

Don't stop now a-c'mon
Another buck now a-c'mon
I wanna lot now so c'mon
That's right, that's right
I said mama but we're all commies now
I said mama but we're all commies now
I said mama but we're all commies now

Stop it

I don't want to be a patriot like you do
I should't spend my money but still do

Don't stop spendin' c'mon
Another buck now a-c'mon
I wanna lot now so c'mon
That's right, that's right
I said mama but we're all commies now
I said mama but we're all commies now
I said mama but we're all commies now

C'mon c'mon
I said my mama we're all commies now

Repeat to fade
I said mama mama mama mama mama mama mama oh yeah...



And the original has a certain Carter Era Hippie-kitch to it:

I guess that is what happens when you let a hostile country make nearly every consumer good you buy and also underwrite your national debt, you just have to take these little humiliations in stride.

TTFN,
