With all the bailouts going on I've been thinking about a rap song by Ludacris. There is a line that goes, "So much money, you can't stop that!" all the while in the background they are repeating Roll Out!
I've been thinking it would be great if someone changed the lyrics a bit so that they would match the current economic climate. So here is my stab at it. (Play the video below, and read my lyrics in place of Mr Ludacris's lyrics)
------------------------
Bailout!
[repeat 6x]
Bailout! Bailout! Bailout! Bailout!
I got my 4th quarter earnings, stock crash!
Me and my homies, need some quick cash.
We threatnin' massive layoffs, so step back.
We need so much money, you can't stop that!
I got my 4th quarter earnings, stock crash!
Me and my homies, need some quick cash.
We threatnin' massive layoffs, so step back.
We need so much money, you can't stop that!
---------------------------
I haven't come up with lyrics for the rest of the song, and depending on your sensibilities you might not want to watch the rest of the video...
[UPDATE]Also, for further reading, check out this post on The Consumerist with a nifty graphic that shows how the 2008 bailout has cost more than the "Marshall Plan, Louisiana Purchase, the Moonshot, S&L Crisis, Korean War, and even The New Deal!" So much money...you can't stop that!
