"Old Town Road" Parody written by Remy

Mastered by Ben Karlstrom
Track production by Wxsterr
LYRICS:
Sir, we’re gonna take these funds for the old town road
We’re gonna buy a ton of black asphalt
Right, we’re gonna take these funds for the old town road
We’re gonna pave and also fix potholes
or we could take these funds for the old town road
And maybe build a brand new stadium
Sir it’s our entire job to fix the old town road
We must ensure that -is he even listening? I’m thinking no.
This is so exciting
Look, the roof is shiny
So touched by this project
I named it Joe Biden
Sir, this is dismaying
Taxpayers are paying
Studies show these never create economic growth-
La la la la la la can’t hear what you’re saying
Can’t nobody tell me nothing
You can’t tell him nothing…
Can’t nobody tell me nothing
You can’t tell him nothing…
The roads are all unstable
We should fix them if we’re able
How broken are we talking?
Think month-old iPhone cable
We should not be subsidizing
A billion-dollar guy that
Will subsequently leverage moving
Look, our mascot has a trident!
Can’t nobody tell me nothing
You can’t tell him nothing…
Can’t nobody tell me nothing
You can’t tell him nothing…
Sir, the neighborhood’s complaining
Eminent domain it
Toll road, gas tax
Let’s call it a day then
Can’t nobody tell me nothing
You can’t tell him nothing…
Can’t nobody tell me nothing
You can’t tell him nothing…
This so St. Louis. It spent 140 million dollars on the Rams stadium, within a year the team picked up and left to LA. The entire team, leaving St. Louis with nothing but more potholes. This is real.
Ain't that the goddamn truth.....
shilohwillcome Did the politicians of St. Louis think that they were LA at any point, though. That is the question.
Here in IL, gas tax, property tax, heavily gun control, electricity tax, utilities tax, tax everything. Also, a tax after a tax. And as well unfinished roads which takes forever and debt problems.
@@leifc.6045 we just raised the gas tax...
Atlanta
So touched by this project I'm calling it Joe Biden. 😂😂😂
Lol hilarious :D
It's popular to insult Joe Biden now. Better do it while it's hot
@@jingles123456789ify that was a funny line. It's pretty funny that it offended people too. The laughs just keep on coming!
That was my favorite part too. LOL
Remy is always funny and spreads the truth at the same time.
#sotouched
Corruption: the thing that politics and professional sports has in common
Hunter Kamm The stadium will help the puppies. Do you hate puppies?
"What about the roads?"
-- Reason 2019
If government is going to usurp the road-building market, it damn well better do it right. If you actually understood shit, you'd realize that criticizing bad government roads is part of the argument that government is not the _sine qua non_ of good roads.
Holy fuck you pseudo-libertarians are retarded.
@Steve Timmons Yeah but it's a dumb joke, and it's part of this more-libertarian-than-thou crap directed at Reason by pseudo-/non-libertarians whose primary goal seems to be to discredit and sow discord amongst libertarians. I've been reading Reason for decades, and they have been and remain far more libertarian than 99% of the people who play this stupid game. And Remy's got infinitely more libertarian "street cred" than this punk. Fuck Pham, in spite of his cool name (I'm a big fan of Vernor Vinge).
@@thotslayer9914 Libertarianism is not "right-wing." It is orthogonally situated.
@@thotslayer9914 Yes, but reason is fairly cosmotarian. Most folks would say this puts them to the left.
@@marshaul you know English?
Remy deserves to have a much bigger audience. Keep up the quality work!
Since FAP was published yesterday and I've been exploring Remy's contributions to Reason TV, and today I found his own channel. This guy is so underrated, he is a gem.
@@MinaHaroun I've been binge watching all of his stuff, and I think he's one of the most talented and creative people alive. A million times more impressive than the vast, vast majority of mainstream "comedians."
Love this guy and really want to see him do well.
@@rainmaker6261 been there, done that, and sharing this feeling 😁
True
Last time I was this early Joe Biden was still smelling my hair.
You came early while Joe Biden was touching your hair?
@@jingles123456789ify
O.o
And trump was “grabbing them by the p*ssy”
@@austinadjutant5684 HAHAHA! What a pertinent addition to the current joke!
How are you any better than the Trump haters
Lets just fund a marketing campaign for Remy. All his stuff is CRIMINALLY underrated!
It most certainly is. I just rediscovered him, too. Didn't know he was libertarian, I just liked his McDonald's rap, and WoW rap back in the day. Gotta say it surprised me to see him doing content I mostly agree with (I'm not a libertarian, but I do sympathize with a lot of their arguments).
Remy can make even government corruption and mismanagement seem catchy!
“So touched by this project, I named it Joe Biden” excellent line Remy
Just as applicable today!
Copied comment
Hits home for Minnesotans where tax payers have built 2 stadiums in the past 5 years. Subsidize construction for billionaire owners.
You also elected a Muslim to Congress....
@@PersonWithFace I hate Ilhan Omar, but is electing a Muslim to Congress a problem?
@@haraldhardrada5619 Yes, and its very simple... The teachings and example of Muhammed are less than good.
According to Islam, Muhammed is the best example of how one should behave.
Muslims are expected to follow his example, which results horrible outcomes, unless perhaps you are a Muslim.
Read Bukhari (a well vetted collection of saying of Muhammed) to get a feel for things, if you haven't read it...
@@haraldhardrada5619 Illhan Omar is not a democrat but a sell out for the NWO (globalist agenda), we didn't elected her but only the corrupt officials and the mindless sheeples. JFK would've been pissed when his party becomes into this.
@@leifc.6045 I think you have to be a sell out for the globalist agenda to be a Democrat
Remy, please don’t ever stop making music.
Hey, the stadium project here in Birmingham isn’t being paid by road funds. They’re making a whole new tax for it. See, everyone wins, and just in time for the World Games. No, none of us know what it is either.
Yeah let's build a stadium in hopes of attracting a team, any team, to come here.
I'd pay good money to hear Remy really sing and rap. Come on Reason, when you gonna put out "Remy's Greatest Hits"?
watch?v=B97P0e7ejYw Remy can rap, 'more xp than windows'
I'd pay for remy's greatest hits album!
Reason is too busy covering stories that aren't too local.
I bought all his songs in Amazon music, sadly none of the stuff that is made for ReasonTV was in there. I would totally buy the ReasonTV album as well
Just amazing to see the internal workings of the political process.
I love the fact that when they are talking about eminent domain he's got a picture of a little pink house being bulldozed by the stadium mascot. Hope I'm not the only one who got that reference.
I don't know it off hand. What is it?
Kelo vs city of new London
Remy usually gets around 4 or 5 million views too few every time he makes a video.
“How bad are we talking . Think a month old iPhone cable” 😀
This is probably more accurate than not
Basically the State of Michigan right now.
What is amazing here isn’t that he is playing three characters, it’s that each character is emoting near perfect for their role and is playing off what the other characters are saying when it isn’t their verse
I saw the start of this song on the Mug Club talent spotlight on Steven Crowder's recent show. I had to come here to see the whole thing, wonderfully done! Subscribed and alerts are set, I look forward to enjoying more quality content from y'all.
Found this from the spotlight on Louder with Crowder and I couldn't be happier.
#LouderWithCrouder is great! Glad you checked this out. It's a great song!
Literally every time Remy does a parody it's more catchy and sounds better than the original haha!
Wow this reminds me of the new Sacramento Kings stadium debacle and the oh so important California bullet train.What a waste of tax payer money.
The bullet train is a future investment. Will be used far more in the future in my humble opinion
@@randomstuff7962 still a waste
😂😂😂"So touched by this project, I'm calling it Joe Biden." 😂😂😂 Even more relevant now.
My teacher:asks me if I'm listening to her
Me:cant nobody tell me nothing
My classmates:u cant tell him nothing
For such a terrible song, that was a decent cover
Pennsylvanian Diary Day 4,529: The road ate my father today. It was swift and merciful thank god. Tomorrow I will venture out and give a sacrifice to the local collapsing bridge so that it may hold but one more day.
Came over from LWC to say Hi! Thanks for the chuckle.
Been waiting for this! I want to buy an album!
"So touched by this project I named it Joe Biden." Took me a minute
“First of all, income tax is ILLEGAL!” - Ron Swanson
As the proper number of congressmen were not in attendance to make laws and it was not ratified by 38 states he is correct.
"I know more than you."
-also Ron Swanson
So when my boss refers to me as Ron Swanson, it's a compliment?
Why did this only pop up in my recommendations now? I needed this two years ago!
Probably censorship, most channels have more views than subscribers (often 3x views per sub, this video being 2 years old has fewer views than subs, and we all know this is way too good for people that subbed to think "I'm going to skip and not watch another comical and well done song by this guy..."), so in one word, censorship or throttling. Those who control the media control the nation.
I feel like this is what Gretchen Whitmer and everyone else in Lansing does everyday
THANK YOU!
The Michigan legislature has continued to spend away funds which should be focused on the infrastructure. Now, they want to raise taxes to supposedly pay for roads. They get billions a year already, so their solution is unacceptable!
you just made this song even better
This didn't age well...
Sleepy Joe is a president now
It aged even better, considering he's now molesting the whole country.
This is way better than the original
This is how much parodies of old town road will be uploaded
👇
The story of California without it even being about California.
my days are better with Remy
Amazing. Subscribed. Keep it up!!! So much truth in this.
Get this shit on spotify please!
But I want a new stadium more than I care about the pot hole in your crappy neighborhood.
Oh, my neighborhood? Nah, I'm good, I live in a gated community and we have to pay to fix our own roads.
What the hell is a Little Nas X???
The name of the rapper that wrote the song this is a parody of.
Hi, I'm a Michigander and I approve this message!
It's a relief to find someone who make a copious amount of MTG videos, that also has libertarian leanings.
This is actually how our government & financial systems function.
Fucking national treasure this guy. I could write ten thousand words to describe what I mean, but instead I’ll just say - Remy, I’m so glad your parents moved to the USA! There are some people left with common sense, please keep helping us build our audience!
Love how the mayor has a low "oh......" after the month old iphone cable line.
I was once told that if I didn't like paying taxes, I shouldn't drive on the roads. Well, I'm still paying taxes, and they still haven't fixed the roads.
Mayor will spenditt lollllll XD 0:06
Remy x Billy Ray Cyrus collab?
As a hungarian i can relate xdddd the video is great :)
Holy shit its so refreshing to see Remy back in the spotlight, this man has been spitting fire since 2007
Reminds me of when my school's football coach wanted to spend the entire upcoming education bond on turning our sports field into a full-scale stadium, the man's schematics for it were insane and he showed it to us hoping we'd beg our parents to fund it.
Yep, mold on the walls, leaky roof, ruining carpets (because of the roof leak, mold probably from that too), and they wanted a new gymnasium... We got a new gymnasium, and the old one had been refloored not that long ago and it was already huge for the tiny school! Oh and then they later got enough to fix the carpets, but not the roof, can you guess how long the new carpets lasted?
That last scene pothole hit me right in the meowmeow
Please never stop making these!!!!!!
Love the videos but can we get the 1080p version?
0:39 Remy was ahead of his time
"month old iPhone cable" lol
I need to get the Birmingham Boondoggles t-shirt.
Holy shit this Remy is GoRemy. Some UA-cam nostalgia. Fuck dude, glad to see you're still doing content!
Oh my god, Remy STILL rocks and how did he not age?!
"think month old iphone cable" best line ever
This is literally how the government operates
Domino's pizza: Fuck the government we'll pave the bloody fucking road ourselves.
Statists: (Shocked Pikachu face)
Remy should do a version of “Peg” by Steely Dan and call it “Debt (It Will Come Back To You)”!
I feel like this may a shot at Minnesota. Two new stadiums, one for the Vikings and one for the new soccer team. Then they want to increase a gas tax by twenty cents from where it already is.
This was lit fam. 10/10.
Ah, NY! So great to see my state in things 😊😊
Sometimes when I’m singing the original I just break into this version. 😄
This sounds better than the original. Even putting aside the quality Remy sociopolitical commentary and comedy we all know and love.
Remy is a BOSS! Get this man a record deal immediately!
Love it -- super clever!!
"BuT wHo WiLl BuILd ThE rOaDs??!"
You’re songs are so funny and cool I listen to them!
Sharing!
This needs a karaoke version!
I get so excited when I see a new Remy music video
When I voted in 2018 we could vote to give the state 600 million dollars to fix the roads, and when I looked more into it, it basically said that there was no guarantee where the money would go. Like wtf
Remy is the only reason I watch this channel any more
After I rattled the fillings out of my teeth leaving my neighborhood today, I stumbled onto this video. I love it.
After thinking about it Remy with Glasses is the public works director and Pink Tie Remmy is the city manager
This is so, so California. But I'm sure it's the same at every level of government across the US.
Yes Steve. I agree.
And it's getting worse every day.
Can anything be done?
@Hans What specifically are you taking about?
What exactly "has survived and improved over thousands and thousands of years"?
Hans how has it gotten better? Name one program
Hans at least the private sector gets punished for their mistakes
That’s the whole thing about the private sector
If the EPA looked in the mirror, they’d be convinced to ban themselves.

@@skippylippy547 Always vote to shrink the government back to the basics....HA, it will never happen. So all we can do is hope for continued gridlock in both houses of congress.....That way nothing more gets done.
One-month-old iPhone cable lol 😂
St. Louis and Missouri should be allowed to sue the NFL over what the Rams did. They shouldn't have payed for the stadium in the first place, but that ship has sailed.
Remys videos should be played before any campaign add.
This was my life during the short political fight in Cobb county for the Atlanta Braves stadium.
1:34 lol i just learned that in my gov class
Man how did you get Tucson's city council song?
I’m sick in bed, it’s 7:06 in the morning, and I’m here
I need to send this to my mayor right now
Joe Biden new campaign slogan
I feel you
Do a fortunate son Parody next
Excellent work! Isn't it interesting how politicians loose focus as to what their true duty is to the citizens. Police, Fire, Roads. If you have enough people then you may also share sewer and water. Regardless, empower your citizens and corporations to do the rest.
The thumbnail looks like a John Stossel video. I was totally tricked, but I'm not mad. This is catchy.
"mayor Will Spenditt" genius.
The Cinci theme song lol
I’ve got statists in the back
blue line flag attached
tax rates are all wack
at my school we did a dance and we did the parody of Havana to banana
