Folks, this is cool. Mark Stein, singer/keyboardist for 60s supergroup "Vanilla Fudge" has a song that isn't all that flattering to the Messiah. Check it out.

He kept me hangin’ on long enough to determine it wasn’t just another Ode to Barry.

Nice piano. Needs more cowbell.

I thought it was going to be The Mark Stein! I guess he only writes columns and stands in for Rush.

Different guy: Mark Steyn is Canadian, and to my knowledge never played rock and roll.

Yeah, I was thinking so, too.

Vanilla Fudge was like done by the time I was a kid.

He looks about 40?

“Still a lefty song.”

Well, of course— if it weren’t, the song would be called “I’m a Bitter Racist Teabagger.” The only allowed criticism of Dear Reader is that he hasn’t used the government to “fix” everything yet.

I figured that out from the haircut. Mark Steyn has a wonderful sense of humour (duh), that I just thought he was going to do something fun. Wishful thinking.

Mark Steyn (of Canada) has written a book on Broadway songs.

I heard Steyn on Dennis Miller or Hugh Hewitt, I think he has another song out with Jessica Martin.

What if Mark Steyn got a perm dyed his hair and donned a black v-neck shirt?

Maybe this is his alter-ego.

I hope that Stein released the song as a solo effort, because if a group called “Vanilla Fudge” released a song called “Mr. Obama” the NAACP would be on it like white on rice. I can hear them now: “Surely the band’s name was selected to belittle the President for his bi-racial background.”

If I remember my rock history correctly, Vanilla Fudge had a #1 hit back in the late ‘60s with a psychedelic version of a song by the Supremes. Was it “You Keep Me Hanging On”?

Right on all counts. Pretty funny, the thing with the name.
