This week's song comments on over-the-top GOP hypocrisy (about budget cuts) with an over-the-top Rent parody (and wow, Jonathan Larson's lyrics are as fabulous, thus as hard to parody, as Sondheim's!!) www.youtube.com/watch?v=yKpC...

A song about a weird scary cartoon figure seemed appropriate to comment on the weird unelected villain who's destroying our government with his band of adolescent idiots. (Fair use parody of "We Don't Talk About Bruno" by Lin-Manuel Miranda) www.youtube.com/watch?v=9XNY...

My latest song - mocking Trump's on-again-off-again pointless Trade War, by parodying Tom Lehrer's brilliant sendup of warmongering from the 1960s. (Fair use parody of "So Long Mom" by Tom Lehrer) www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hh7y...

Hi everyone - I'm fairly new to Bluesky, but thrilled to see so much great content! I've been doing weekly political satiric songs (talk about a surfeit of material!) and have started sharing them here. Hope they give you a bit of a smile: here's my latest! www.youtube.com/watch?v=uErd...

If you need a break from politics (and a reminder that we're all connected), how about this ode to interfaith celebrations? www.youtube.com/watch?v=tPFy...

The angrier I am about a topic, the more cheerful the music tends to be. This song seemed like the perfect choice to comment on the prospect of RFK Jr. in charge of national health . . . . www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDy1...

I'm brand new here but looking forward to meeting all of you. I post weekly topical comedy songs, from the perspective of a progressive feminist Jewish mother. Here's my latest attempt to find any humor in this new reality! www.youtube.com/watch?v=IRpn...
