I'm quite happy to say that my profound dislike for Barbara Streisand extends to her music, and as a consequence, I'm not familiar with her song "People." Barbara seems to have taken a page from Elton John's playbook and rewritten one of her songs for a special occasion. Only instead of commemorating dead blondes, Streisand has taken her opportunity to
send a political message.
PEOPLE
I MEAN G - O - P - EOPLE -
WHO'D BELIEVE THERE'S SUCH PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD?
BUSH SEEZA
LOTTA CONDOLEEZA,
THEY'RE DIVIDING THE PLANET'S OIL
ACCORDING TO RICHARD "POIL"
AND THEY'RE ALL JUST TRAINEES
OF CHENEY'S.
In case you're wondering, the message in this case is, "I'm a clueless Hollywood has-been."
