(Soviet National Anthem playing)

GLENN: Wait a minute. Hang on. Wait a minute, hang on. Dan, hold it. Stop the music for a second. That's the old Soviet. That's the motherland theme. That's old news. I mean, this is cutting edge. This is America. What do we do? We sit around on our hands? We use something that's 20, 30 years old? No. We're America! We're the place that can dream and it will become, we're the country that says let's not live in the past, let's live in the future. And what's coming our way, huh? Hope and change, that's what's coming, hope and change. So we've reworked the lyrics of the Soviet National Anthem and it goes something a little like this.

(Obama Soviet Anthem playing)

GLENN: Oh, I love that. By the way, an interesting little story on that. We kind of spent some money on, you know, some of the musical elements that we do on this program and we hire we've got actually believe it or not, we've got a couple of composers and some professional musicians that play with us regularly. When this one came around, we couldn't get any we couldn't get any singers. Not a single professional singer would take this job. They were like, oh, yeah, I'll be there. Sure, yeah, I'll do another comedy thing, that's great, until they saw the lyrics. And then each and every single one of them said, oh, I can't oh, no, I don't I can't do that. They none of them would take it. The guy singing that is the father of our composer, Anthony Newitt. He's 70 something years old. What was he, a semi professional or a professional opera singer, something like that? So Anthony calls up his dad. Dad? "What? What?" "I need somebody to sing this song." "What is it?" I don't know if Dad I don't know if I'm assuming Dad's fully there. You know what I mean? Maybe Dad was just like checked out enough he was like, he would read these hate mongering lyrics and not understand them. "So okay, I'll sing them, whatever." Isn't that amazing? Not a single performer would do this. We've had Stu, we've had performers sing all kinds of stuff.

STU: All sorts, all sorts of ridiculous lyrics.

GLENN: Ridiculous, on everything, on absolutely everything. Never in my career have I had people not perform something as professional performers, not perform something because, "Oh, I'm not going to make fun of that." Never.

STU: Sacrilege, Glenn.

GLENN: I know.

STU: You can't insult the Messiah.

GLENN: I know. Dan, do me a favor. Just because it seems to be so insulting to those on the left, let it rip one more time, will you? Comrades!

(Obama Soviet Anthem playing)

GLENN: And the more it bothers them, the more I'll play it. Obama Soviet Anthem

OBAMA ANTHEM LYRICS
All hail the messiah
Obama, Obama
The path to the new socialist motherland
Our savior, our savior
Obama, Obama
The leader more famous than Lindsay Lohan
Bow down and praise the one
Give him your money and your guns
Give us a country
That makes your wife proud
Lord Barry heal the bitter ones
White and Clinging to faith and to guns
Hope for the change of the hope of the change!

Soviet National Anthem (upon which Obama Anthem is based)

[the anti-liberal]

Good one!!

Thanks for posting!

[kromike]

Good stuff, but if Hussein B.O. gets elected, he's gonna lock up everyone that ever made fun of him and anyone who is thinking of making fun of him.

[Ghengis]

I was laughing way out loud when they played that on his show today.

[Red Steel]

Beck’s hilarious doing the comrade back to the USSR shtick.

[Son House]

[Locomotive Breath]

Someone should tell Glen about this

Free Concert by Popular Band Preceded Obama’s Big Rally

All you need to know about the Decemberists is in this photo.



They are known for playing the Soviet anthem at their concerts although it's not clear they played it for Obama.

I couldn’t quite hear them, since he is not in a local market, my radio was straining, but they are funny. Thanks for posting the words!

Going to post as a separate thread if you don’t mind!!

[CedarDave]

Kinda late tonight. Will wait until tomorrow and see it could use a new thread. Sorry, didn’t mean to step on toes.

[CedarDave]

Fuddie,
Pinged to your Mark Levin list. They just have to hear this!!

[Fudd Fan]

ROFL!

[MuttTheHoople]

That is HILARIOUS!!! You know a candidate is cooked when he’s so easily mocked.

[SoCalPol]

That was a riot, thanks for the ping CD

[roses of sharon]

OMG, that is the most amazing thing I have seen in a long time. (I’m passing it around)

RUSH HAS GOT TO SEE/HEAR THIS.

Do you think he will play it on the air?

[CedarDave]

That is HILARIOUS!!! You know a candidate is cooked when he’s so easily mocked.

So true. And I wish it had a second verse. LOL

[CedarDave]

I don’t know if any of the other talk show hosts will play it as it came from competitor Glenn Beck. But I bet the blogs pick it up pretty quick.

[CedarDave]

This is spreading faster than an Idaho wildfire...

[Little Pig]

I do have to say that the old Soviet anthem, and the French Anthem, are quite rousing as anthems go. While ours has great words too, the tune really does leave something to be desired musically. I sometimes wish our Anthem were based on a more martial-sounding tune, such as the one from “Battle Hymn of the Republic”. God Bless America would be a good alternative as well.

[roses of sharon]

Maybe not, BUT Rush was the very first to start calling him the “messiah”, lol.

So maybe Glenn would let him use it.

[B-Chan]

[roses of sharon]

BTW, Kerri Walsh and Misty May, just gave a shout out to “Mr. President”, “you are an inspiration!”, when they won the Gold in beach volleyball.

Very cool!

[no dems]

Does anyone agree with me that the Dems have got to be wishing they had Hillary now?

[sevenbak]

Don't post stuff from Glenn Beck, he's one of those heretic Mormons, dontchaknow! /sarc

[WorkerbeeCitizen]

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

This sleeper thread will grow in prominence. It's genius and devastating.

This was the first youtube page I was ever patient enough to load. And I’m landline challenged. Why? It’s DEVASTATING!

As the Internet becomes more and more a part of average Americans' lives, the following is why the democrap party methodology will fail them, finally. Democrats live by lying, They have used the slaughter of alive unborn children as a means for empowering their demented party. Murder is wedded to lying since the source for both is the father of lies a murderer from the start. The following Youtube video shows how to destroy liars, democrat liars:

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

I tried loading your youtube link. It appears that my computer would time out at the rate it would take. Sorry. I need short and ‘light image’ clips. But thank you. FRegards ....

[Tired of Taxes]

This campaign is so much fun.

(Fun and frightening at the same time, sort of like watching the Rocky Horror Picture Show.)

[FutureRocketMan]

awesome parody of BHO. I hope (since I’m fifteen years old) that BHO doesn’t get elected, and that no one in the history of America, present and future, doesn’t do anything like what the USSR did since 1917 until present and counting.

[DogBarkTree]

Thank the lord there are millions of Americans who would give there lives to take out any dictator who took over this county. Id like to think he/she knows that but if Im wrong they will learn what lightweights the islamo suicide bombes are.

[TigersEye]

Home school ping.

You and Sassy need to learn this anthem. I'll expect a .wav file of the two of you singing it courageously in my inbox by tomorrow. All the better if I can hear the reaction from the rest of your family in the background.
Don't disappoint the Motherland.

[modest proposal]

*clapclapclap* Great. Wish we could afford for it to run non stop as an ad on all networks.

“hope for the change of the hope of the change” - yeah that is about it isn’t it.

[Constitution Day]

BUMP! I love it!

Bwahahaha!
