More economic song parodies by Marcy Shaffer of the web site Versus:

You’ve got the Fed (sung to the tune of “You’ve got a friend”)

Lyrics:

This is when.
From your den.
You call men.
Who then all call Ben.
Squeal you’re breakin’.
You’re caught in the red.
Too big to croak ’cause markets could choke.
So though you are a pig in a poke.
He’ll save your bacon.
You’ve got the Fed.

Crash Dance (sung to the tune of “Flash Dance”)

Lyrics:

What a ceiling!
When you’re dealing
With recapping banks.
Who are clapping: “Thanks, that’s nice.”
Spike the panic.
Like the Titanic.
Once you’ve struck the ice.
you are stuck to pay the price.

What a ceiling!

Depressing (sung to the tune of “The 59th Street Bridge Song”)

Lyrics:

No down.
and credit line.
You sniff the whiff
of ’29?
Just giving thanks
I don’t own banks
To maneuver.
Feels like Hoover.
C.D.O. – oh-oh-oh-oh.
Feels like Hoover.

And a reprise from December of…

The Cinders of Ayn Rand (sung to the tune of “Walking in a Winter Wonderland”)

Lyrics:

How’d you take
Your convictions?
From a flake
Who wrote fictions?
A hotshot like you.
Deserves a potshot or two.
Walking in the cinders of Ayn Rand.

    To turn our country around, we must permit individual interests and not community interests to dominate. Obama, Democrats, socialists, liberals and everyone on the left wants to share the booty from America saying community is most important. Save Pebble Droppers & Prosperity on Amazon and claysamerica.com, tells how America did so well in the first place, and shows us how to repeat the process of regaining our prosperity. America has drifted into meaningless self-sacrifice to the point we cannot earn our way back and focusing on individual interests as described so well by Ayn Rand.
