    Once again total genius, with the lyrics and the setting and the ambience. I have dear friends in the USA, like me in the UK they are ancient of days and I fear for them - to have the Trump mendacity and fecklessness in their last years and with health problems present and lurking, it is a nightmare for them. You give us all so much in these uploads that is sustaining and exposing of the true nature of what infects the Oval Office, the USA and of course, the world. You have done and are creating, an amazingly talented and desperately needed series. Thank you.

      @@beverlycastricone6900 Heart-felt Beverley, the bar has been lowered in so many ways it is hard to think of it being raised again and the proper amendments being created so that this cannot be repeated.
      In any profession I can think of [and this may apply to many skilled jobs] one has to have the qualifications to prove adequacy.
      Trump had the money and influence to employ others to have adequacy in his stead. In this position his maladroit character is laid bare and visits 4 years of madness with no risk of removal.
      In the UK one can be a Minister of State without a single qualification but they don't get their selfish way en route to the top.
      We have our own quagmire in the UK and the way forward is not clear for either country. I am minded of the quotation;"We cease to live the day we do not speak of what is evident" I have not got that quite right but that is the sense of it. We need to keep speaking and Mr Caron will continue to expose the evidence with every lyric he creates. Go well, Beverly.

      @@erykfreethinker7147 I think the quote you were referencing is MLK, "Our lives begin to end the day we cease to care about things that matter".
      One thing that bothers me is that many in other countries are FAR more informed about world events then Americans, which partially explains how the U.S. ended up with this kakistocracy. Don't think Trump will be in office for the full 4 years and I do believe that measures will be put in place to ensure that it can't happen again.
      It sure would be nice if Americans acknowledge that their complacency allowed this to occur.
      So many of us truly appreciate the support and concern that peoples of other countries show to us. I know that I will never forget that.
      I don't know a lot about the situation in the U.K. and I apologize for that but it would be putting it mildly to say that anyone in America that is not a Trump supporter is struggling like hell to try to stay on top of everything that is happening here. This is a 21st century blitzkrieg and it is intentional, few realize that.

      @@beverlycastricone6900 Many thanks indeed Beverly for giving me the quote as it should be, I want to create a calligraphy plaque with that quote on. Your thoughts reassure me. I endorse what you say about what US citizens know about their own situation and other countries. My friends use the BBC to have more of an independent standing,
      Regarding whether lessons are learned . . well that is a problem I feel. We have known the horrors of war as world citizens and recovering from it is less easy every time but still wars are contemplated. The greedy selfish ones have convenient memory lapses . . in many areas, sadly!
      Let us all hope for a kindlier world where caring is valued more than ego or a few more bucks in the bank. Bright Blessings Beverly.

      And I really love his music too, which is even more proof of his all round abilities.....
      But the best proof of his abilities, is the fact that for a number of weeks, the director of House, and the US’s public,!didn’t know that he is British, and he was even nominated for best “american” new comer award after or during the first series........

    'Joker' -> 'full House' = totally genius! Capitalisation of just a few words was an excellent decision, it really added to it. I think your lyrics here might be the best yet. *I don't know HOW you don't have more subscribers!* (I enjoy all your work, but if you included some 'pop' songs/ or newer classics aimed at a younger audience, but still appreciated by everyone, you might grow your fan base a bit faster - I'm thinking Coldplay, & similar. Only because it drives me crazy to see other media outlets sharing other parody videos when u really believe yours are more deserving!)
    I don't know this song (not American), so I also liked reading the history of it. I'll probably find out my dad actually does have it on LP - usually the case. :)

    Dunno what the issue is, but it is still bad when trying to watch this. So I muted the sound and read the captions with the tune in my head. It is fantastic, Don. As always you hit the orange nail on it's pointy head. I look forward to hearing the whole thing as soon as it is possible.
    Keep up the great work! Love from the Arse end of Oz.
    PS: If you look at the shape of Australia as the wombat shape it is, you will easily locate the arse end. Cheers! =o)

    I don't know how I missed this one. I'm so angry, I've been trying to limit myself as to the political climate as my health isn't very good right now. Thank you so much, you make me feel safer in this time of insecurity.
