Not "Is Happening". "Has Happened". The dictatorship of Trump has only made clear how things really are. In the US, the voice of the people has not mattered since 1960. Only the voice of the rich has determined policy since then. Regardless of which party had the power. It is called "CORRUPTION". #represent.us.

The term parody is used where one takes a song and rewrites the lyrics as to insert a different shade or nuance of meaning from the original. This is typically done to pay musical homage to the original in its own right, and to make use of musical device dating from the romantic period (roughly middle 1800s-early 1900s ). While some parodies are humorous or satire, not all are necessarily intended to be so. Parody and scherzo were commonly used as political devices from the era of the original 13 colonies. (This sort of thinv is backdrop from which many patriotic songs in the American repritoire were composed.)
This song just becomes more relevant as the years drag forward... we're closer and closer to the edge every day now.. ❤ thank you for singing for the people ❤
I find it hard to believe that it's just one man. Every one I've seen is excellent and I have been binge watching and then watching some a more than once this is 1 of them
I spent the first half century of my life hearing my parents generation asking; "How could the German people have allowed it to happen"? Now I listen to my German husband (we are both immigrants to Australia) asking; "How could the American people allow this to happen"?
maybe because one side was united by hate while the other side squabbled among themselves and encouraged splitting up their votes among multiple parties? just a thought
I love the tone the harmonizing gives this song. It's quality I've never heard before in any song. I also love the small bit of hope given at the end of the song, like a light at the end of a long dark tunnel. Definitely one of my favorite songs you uploaded. Love you
Fantastic! As the original Battle Hymn of the Republic led a nation into a war to end slavery, let's hope this version leads us to fight against the slavery of the oligarchs... Power to the people, not the corporations!
Terressa Kennedy how can the people expect corporations to pay tax when they aren’t willing to pay tax? What is this shit? If you travel to some countries you will see what nice things our taxes provide for us. Otherwise your pretty much ignorant and take it for granted.

Love it! But I must say I am also saddened by the truth of your words here.

This is the first parody I heard and the truth and importance of the lyrics struck me. Now, having listened to it probably 50 or more times, I am really impressed by the intricacies of the parts, the timing, changes of which guy sings what when is pretty amazing. It must have been a heck of a job planning that all out. You are one extremely talented person.
This honestly makes me sad what has happened over the years. This beat alone made me tear up and realize how much people did for this country to protect it and were just throwing it all away. They didn't deserve this. We don't deserve this.
Sadly, I guess we do deserve it b/c we've been such dupes, letting the media - which the billionaires have entirely bought up as it says - divide us over piddly-poo while indeed, they deregulate everything and destroy all our rights. They're always working on pocketing our Social Security, Veteran's Benefits and what little we have left. Russell Brand's does a great job exposing a lot of that on utube too.
There is a movement afoot to bring things back to balance, but it is a long run, like a marathon, it takes each citizen watching and listening to candidates before and after elections.
Not to belittle the content...but as a songwriter I really like his ability to write and rhyme and how he can harmonize so well with himself...its not as easy as it looks....
A lot of the brilliance here is in the mixdown, but some composer did a superb job of arranging the parts, and the vocalist did an outstanding job of *singing* them. And it's topical, too! Outstanding work. And if this is all Don's work, so much the more impressive. Keep it up!
Bravo!! You nailed it again! You've lifted my hopes once again. It seems when I'm in deep despair you bring on the truth and drag me from my depths ! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I am probably not the only one who had to sing with the group. Beautiful harmony, sad truths. You ended on a hopeful note. But hope needs a leader, and honestly, I don't see anyone with the courage. We have a tyrant in the making. Who will stand up to him and his tribe?
Having the words on the screen makes it easy to sing along! :) However, regarding the "tyrant in the making and his tribe" please don't give up. We need you.

This was extremely well done and hit a lot of very vital parts including the need to ignore party politics and focus on who is pulling the strings . No progress happens until Citizens United is repealed.
Trump might try to invade Canada. Our military is more powerful than the next 30 countries COMBINED, 29 of which, including Canada, are supposedly our allies. Unfortunately, he has a much better chance of succeeding than James Madison did!
@@Tomeleck Oh? I heard this lie before... Luckily as a Canadian I enjoy my quick and first rate medical service that we provide to ourselves with our own taxes. You are welcome to enjoy the services that your insurance guys decide you are entitled to, if you happen to have any after loosing your jobs due to Covid, which the US government is so proud of controlling, All this while the rich enjoy their hefty tax cuts that allow them to buy the best of everything. Please, look closer and do not believe the propaganda. Why do you think Canada has so much less per capita corona deaths than our southern neighbors? Who has the better medical care...?

A lot of the brilliance here is in the mixdown, but some composer did a superb job of arranging the parts, and the vocalist did an outstanding job of *singing* them.
And it's topical, too! Outstanding work. And if this is all Don's work, so much the more impressive. Keep it up!
Thank you. This is what we need to keep us going. Good job, guys!
Sue Oorbeck it's only one guy lol
OMG...LOL.....How did I miss that?
Bravo!! You nailed it again! You've lifted my hopes once again. It seems when I'm in deep despair you bring on the truth and drag me from my depths ! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
A statement in favor of human decency, and against the tribal horror of partisan politics. Bravo!
Well said!
These guys are amazing! Their voices mix beautifully on this, and I love the lyrics. Keep going, guys!
I'm a Republican, or I thought I was before. One thing I know for sure is, I am not a MEGA Republican. Being a MEGA R is akin to being an ISIS or Hezbollah Muslim. Not every Muslim is an extremist, not every Republican is MEGA R. Kamala has my vote. #Trump4Prision2025 #Dictator2Dicktaker #NATOvHATO #SlavaUkraine #DumpTrump
Brilliantly put! As always, I loved it!!!
I so Appreciate you and your work, it helps me through these hard times.
I am probably not the only one who had to sing with the group. Beautiful harmony, sad truths. You ended on a hopeful note. But hope needs a leader, and honestly, I don't see anyone with the courage. We have a tyrant in the making. Who will stand up to him and his tribe?
Having the words on the screen makes it easy to sing along! :)
However, regarding the "tyrant in the making and his tribe" please don't give up. We need you.
Pat Sylvest I stand up to the orange menace every day!
Pat Sylvest Sadly, i think Kim Jong Un will stand up against him.
Bernie is pretty good. He Traveled to Kentucky to work up resistance to Mitch McConnell and he has promised to keep it up!
Pat Sylvest so very true. Hope your people will makta better election this time🍀
Always a great treat to hear the clever ways you always deliver the bad news !! You "tell it like it is so sane people get the real picture" !! Thank you !!
I just want express how much I enjoyed listening to their voices. They are wonderful singers. I think they are awesome!
All strength to your arm, Gentlemen.
Frankly, the last twenty years of American history makes me want to cry.
I'd say since Reagan. That's when deregulation of all the greedy folks began!
Brilliant! They say more and more people are waking up. Hope it's true. Thank you for your superb contribution.
I look forward to his parodies. He’s so good. He’s right on whether or not you agree with the partisan politics.
Still absolutely brilliant! You sing truth so beautifully! I've seen this before and still love it!
This was extremely well done and hit a lot of very vital parts including the need to ignore party politics and focus on who is pulling the strings . No progress happens until Citizens United is repealed.
Parody Project Yay! I needed a 'fix' from you! Truth you sing,Don!
Super! You have expressed in song what America is thinking.
Thank you Auntie for moving us to Canada. Let's hope and pray the illness in America doesn't spread to Ottawa.
I am jealous. But maybe you guys can create a vaccine and send it our way for future generations?
Trump might try to invade Canada. Our military is more powerful than the next 30 countries COMBINED, 29 of which, including Canada, are supposedly our allies. Unfortunately, he has a much better chance of succeeding than James Madison did!
My dad tried to move us across the Detroit River for years.
Unfortunately for us, "Label Salesman" didn't cut it 😒
TOO Late for Canada. Enjoy your three month wait to see a mediocre doctor.
@@Tomeleck Oh? I heard this lie before... Luckily as a Canadian I enjoy my quick and first rate medical service that we provide to ourselves with our own taxes. You are welcome to enjoy the services that your insurance guys decide you are entitled to, if you happen to have any after loosing your jobs due to Covid, which the US government is so proud of controlling, All this while the rich enjoy their hefty tax cuts that allow them to buy the best of everything. Please, look closer and do not believe the propaganda. Why do you think Canada has so much less per capita corona deaths than our southern neighbors? Who has the better medical care...?
Good luck to the people of the USA, you deserve so much better.
I loved this two years ago. It's still great.
Oh, my, god! That was amazing. So glad I stumbled upon this. Thank you for what you do.
Allow me, an Indonesian who has long admired your genius and your songs , to warmly compliment you with this brilliant rendering of "The Battle Hymn of the Republic." I love the USA very much, and I deeply sympathize with the plight of its suffering citizens.
Would you agree that the "Prez" has something to do with most/some of the "suffering"??
LoriAnn Grilley-Jamroz Yes, of course! Trump is a disaster for the USA. We Indonesians have a great guy as President, Joko Widodo. But lots of our politicians are corrupt through and through.
Thank you for your kind words, and for your patience. When this is over we will have so many apologies to make to our neighbors.
@Round Robin ...The Roosevelts were New York creatures... As am I. We’re not ALL nauseating.
Verses of this may become a marching song for the Resistance.
Once again - Thank you.
sorry but... your first ammendment the right to protest now is also gone, they label you a rioter and charge you with baton, that is if you're lucky and they don't shoot out an eye. and the violence goes ooooon
@@awakeningaquarius5241 oh wow, you have not been paying attention have you.
Woah. I can’t believe how good this song is.
Don is an amazing musician and brings us great messages and smiles with that skill.
Not one day passes where i am not praying for the American people to be strong, to get up and fight for your rights. The world needs it! Thank you PP for your constant reminders. Best wishes, Ma♥
bravo a work of art.
This deserves an award for most realistic satire and social commentary in a song.
If you'd open your eyes you'd see every word in this song is true
🌟⭐🌟 We are the ones who hold the Power! Thank you 🌟⭐🌟
Right on ! Truth words .! Appreciate your courage so much . You rock . If your not too busy consider running for office !
