Paul Ryan’s budget proposal, set to music.

The sun beams down on a brand new day
No more welfare tax to pay
Unsightly slums gone up in flashing light
Jobless millions whisked away
At last we have more room to play
All systems go to kill the poor tonight

I used to be a farmer and I made a living fine
I had a little stretch of land along the C.P. Line
But times were hard, and though I tried, the money wasn’t there
And bankers came and took my land, and told me “fair is fair”.

I looked for every kind of job, the answer always no
“Hire you now,” they’d always laugh, “we just let twenty go!”
The government they promised me a measly little sum
But I’ve got too much pride to end up just another bum

Then I thought, who gives a damn if all the jobs are gone,
I’m gonna be a pirate on the river Saskatchewan.

‘Cause it’s a heave-ho, high-ho, coming down the Plains
Stealing wheat and barley and all the other grains
And it’s a ho-hey, high-hey, farmers bar your doors
When you see the Jolly Roger on Regina’s mighty shores

If this is what high-speed rail and collective bargaining lead to, I’m all in.

Well, I got nothing, but figured we needed to run something up the flag pole, so here’s the latest vlog from professional blogger/Pat Benetar impersonator/radiopodcast host Taylor Marsh. Enjoy the boogie oogie oogies, you snarky bastards!

p.s. Sure, what the hell, open thread this like a mofo. Let us know if you blogroll the ‘Roast and would like the favor returned.

Not that anyone asked (bastards!), but my favorite album of 2010 was Perfume Genius’ grossly underrated debut Learning, one of the best (and rawest) musical depictions of the tortured soul since Neil Young’s epic Tonight’s the Night.

I don’t know what he was smoking, but I’m kinda glad I didn’t have any.

(h/t to lacp in the earlier thread for provoking me to post this.)

Happy New Year to everyone from your semi-retired host. 2010 was a great year for me after a super sucky 2009. I hope 2011 is even better and wish all the best to each and every one of you.

And thanks a bunch to all of the utterly fantastic bloggers here who have kept the ‘Roast chugging along while I disappeared into the vapors. You guys are the best.

2011, here we come! Buckle up, motherfucker.—K

p.s. If you wanna chatter about tonight, do it in marindenver’s thread below.

Siouxsie Sue and the Banshees sound perfectly fine, so they don’t exactly belong in the Worst Christmas Carol Competition, but this somewhat wavy rip from some misbegotten MTV? Christmas special showcases the most frightening carolers I’ve ever seen—frightening in terms of whether they’ll stay upright to the end of the song, fall onto Baby Jeebus’s creche, or adore him possibly by eating his brains. Oh no! They must have seen his star! Run, Baby Jeebus, run!

I challenge all of you to try and top this music (ha!) video that just showed up in my YouTube subscription list (the things I do for you people!). This is a perfectly distilled version of suck, right down to the looped video of Phil Thomas Katt’s kidnap victim’s gift-wrapped legs moving all around as she tries to free herself from the crack of his sofa where she’s being held prisoner. And the song, sweet jeebus, the song! It’s a warbly, discordant, soulless mess that may be in contention for the worst song ever created. Good luck finding a Christmas music video that’s as bad as this one. I double-dog dare you.

p.s. I have no idea what’s going on with the answering machine from 1985 at the beginning of this. I suspect it has something to do with him being a murderer ... of music.

UPDATE: Our pal J. compiled her list of the most annoying Christmas songs earlier this month.

If you guys thought that Will Ferrell video was bad, I’ll show you bad. Ladies and germs, here’s the latest video release from a big-haired, faux-soulful birther succubus whose human name is “Lisa.” THAT IS THE NAME SHE USES WITH HER “AMERICAN PEOPLE” FRIENDS! They are very angry that no one realizes something called a “referendum” occurred on votin’ day (record numbers!). It’s code red! Stimulate this! STOP RAMMING THINGS DOWN THEIR THROATS! OR THEY WILL CONTINUE TO RAP!
