  • Harry would be proud.

    

  • I sang this song with Tom yesterday

  • In 4 to 8 more years, maybe more, Sarah Palin probably won't even have a footnote in a history book. McCain's biggest mistake was taking her from Alaska & picking her to be his VP running - mate when she didn't know diddly - squat about major political issues or state - craft, much less the big issues happening in the early 21st century.

  • I have always loved Tom.As for Sarah I'd like for her to do something that's at least socially useful,like MILF porn in those hooker boots she likes to wear !

  • @jshalom65 - Sarah IS pretty HOT for a MILF / GILF. Too bad that her I.Q. & knowledge of politics or anything practical is eclipsed by her bra - size. She makes Dan " Potatoe " Quayle look like Einstein, Carl Sagan, Stephen Hawking & Neil de Grasse Tyson by comparison.

  • Pretty funny for a couple of liberal wackos! Thanks guys! By the way, I enjoy Palin and a lot of her views, but I'm not so thin-skinned I can't laugh at this one!

  • BTW fellas, the 70's called. They want your act back.

  • You suck Tom Chapin. 

  • @posthastey

    stupid rebublicans...

    sincerely, Tom Chapin's nephew

  • Can I "Make A Wish" that Sarah Palin never existed?

  • @MiHiVidz - You can, but wishing ain't gonna make it so, more's the pity.....

    I have a cousin who thinks Sarah Failin' can walk on water, & would make a good leader simply because she's ( Supposedly ) " A good Christian ".

  • @knoxvilleguy2 Palin is a perfect example of a "Christian without Christian values".

  • @MiHiVidz - Unless rampant paranoia, craziness & self - righteousness are Christian values......

  • I'm a registered Republican and...I actually agree. This country's problems aren't going to be solved by "the common folk" who can make a rousing speech. They're going to be solved by people who, you know, actually have a clue what they're doing.

  • another vapid, hate-filled screed from a 60s burnout that just cannot quite grow up. here's a tip to all you liberal pukes: google :beheading videos and actually watch one; notice how the charming phrase "allahu akbar" seems to come up every time. these islamisists would happily slice off the heads of YOU and everyone you love in the name of a illiterate bedouin warlord and his bloodthirsty moongod allah. but NO, you shits mock a woman because she doesnt worship your great god obama! loserpussys

  • @akitaman101 people mock her because she is a dumbass bitch with nothing in her head. by the way allah is the same god as the christian god, and both are fake.

  • @MrCharlieShuck "dumbass bitch"? my, what a cogent, reflective, mature and reflective arguement you make chuckie old boy. well done! the wonders of modern, liberal edumakation...the islamisists lust to kill you and your children ala the fogel family in israel and all you libpukes can do is hurl insults; the zero spends trillions of your grandchildrens money and you praise him like a golden calf. yeah sarah is a demon-spawn, you have convinced me. praise allah and pass me a gubment check!

  • well, i do not have children, i do not plan on having children, and i do not praise anyone. i guess what i should have said is this, sarah palin is an ignorent, gun toting hick that could never preform the duties of a government position of any kind, she didn't do well in alaska and would do worse in a higher position. she needs to never be on television again, an go back to hunting wolves from her helicopter and raiseing her daughters bastard child, and leave us in peace. no offence.

  • @akitaman101 Actually as a bisexual moderate atheist, I'm a lot more likely to be killed by one of your bigoted fanatics perverting Jesus, than some madmen in a cave on the other side of the world.

    And here's a free tip: if you want to put down someone else for using cheap insults, AVOID USING THEM YOURSELF!

  • i suggest for those of you who are now adults go back and listen to tom chapin's songs you loved as a kid you will laugh more trust me.

  • It is amazing how Tom can appeal so brilliantly to kids and be just as good at entertaining adults. This is the first time i've heard his voice since i was about 12....so good to see him still going strong.

  • This. Is. The. Single. Greatest. Thing. Ever! I have loved this man in my childhood, but this made me much, much happier that I was 2 minutes ago. Thanks Tom!

  • Unfortunately, Tom didn't get the same genes of kindness and respect for all -- I have a hard time imagining Harry approving of the excoriation and crucifixion this woman has received by the media and liberal celebrities. That's ok, I guess - .Tom had to compensate some way.

  • Yes! Leave Sarah Palin! This is America where we need a government for the people and by the people, not by the rich for the rich.

  • He wrote this song right after he cured cancer, right?

  • -and if I sang 'Go away Barack 0bama,' I would be accused of hatred and bigotry, by the very same people on this page.

  • @lesatseaside That is because the Republicans tend to favor their wealthy white aristocrats rather than America.

  • This song will be better when everyone who hears it says, "Sarah who?"

  • From an OLD Plattsburgh classmate. SUPER Tom!!! Les Buell

  • Loved this! Funny and witty, just like the legendary Tom Lehrer.

  • Wouldn't it be great if nobody paid this bitch any attention? That would drive her nuts. Some poor news reporter--many, maybe--has been forced to proffer a story about her because the news editor (or station manager or....) told them to present it.

  • Sarah says Paul Revere rode into town shooting his pistol and ringing bells?? :)

    But it's great entertainment isn't it.

  • Failin' Palin is growing more irrelevant by the week. She's a political joke & nobody but the most stolid, steadfast Ultra - Conservative would vote for her to be in the highest - or 2nd highest - office in the Free World.

    Even **Barbara Bush** thinks Sarah'd be better off staying in Alaska, watching Russia from her porch, hunting & skinning moose, etc.

  • @knoxvilleguy2 yes yes yes!!! She was here in New England last week and those words go away were just what I thought. She is totally without substance.

  • @ribluesy - " Without substance " - as in a pretty face painted on a balloon full of helium, vacuous. I have a cousin who loves her dearly & w / vote for her if she ran. I would leave the US to live in Mongolia as a yak - herder if she ran, & by some fluke became elected !! ;~)

  • Wait is that the same Tom Chapin from Lord of the Flies? 0-0

  • Go away Tom.... You're a bigger hack than she is... but she is alot better looking than you, you ugly pug... And she's not living on her dead brother's coat tails.... yuck yuck

  • is laughin tom chapin is great and she probly can watch rusia from her porch

  • Yup. That's the guy.

  • Is this the host for the 70's children's show Make A Wish?

  • Yes Indeed ! Go away Sarah Palin, and take all those damned Tea-baggers with you that believe in an un-intrusive, omnipotent government. We would rather take that old , outdated Constitution of yours, and turn it into the Manifesto.

  • @ChicagoNeilcon no there our other reasons why she should go away and hate to tell you she aint a real republican and tea partiers want nothing to do with this joke. a real republican woman would never run for office any time a woman claims she is republican and runs for office they are hypocrites. the consititution is not outdated not that anyone has actually followed it for who knows how long if it was followed things would be diffrent but that dont mater this is great song

  • That's just good clean fun. Nicely done.

  • awwww cute!

  • take your daughter, who cannot dance, and Rush with you!!!!

  • Tom Chapin was a family favorite when I was small. Seeing him sing this is like finding out that there IS a Santa Claus, and he has that puppy you always wanted.

  • I know the guy playin bass

  • I couldn't agree with them more! She's awful!

  • If you would like to see our video recipe for Sarah's Blood Libel Stew, check out our video by putting "watch?v=FXSj3ft7PK0" in the YouTube search bar.

  • A welcome antidote to the Sarah Palin Battle hymn.

  • Won't be long now till Sarah Palin starts calling this song "Blood libel".

  • HOW CAN WE MISS YOU IF YOU WON'T GO AWAY?

  • @daleastar

    Nice butt-hurt there.

  • fantastic tune, and right on point. those that don't like the humor of this clearly are being hit too close to home.

  • Gotta love it!!!!!!!!

  • Great song! If only, sigh.......

  • Somebody once suggested to me that my country could learn from the American election. Unless the leader of the opposition is a crazed ex POW whose assistant enjoys shooting animals for Jesus, we can learn nothing!

  • @17Hongo Let me tell you, as an American I'm sick of how our election season works. Law makers spend more time running for office then being in office and thanks to cable news like Fox and MSNBC, spend more time polarizing one another and pointing fingers instead of actually doing stuff to make things better. I'm getting to the point that I think the folks in Congress WANT it to stay the way it is, so they can have job security. You can learn from us, what not to do!

  • @milojthatch A very insightful point - but fox news has always been right wing - Private Eye (a British satire magazine) spent an entire month's worth of editions making cartoons entitled "the bible according to fox news" this included Jesus telling the five thousand that you only got loaf and fish if you could pay for it.

    the right wing has already attacked Obama's policy to create an NHS style health service, because they are terrified of having to spend money on people who can't pay it back

  • @17Hongo ha ha ha you havent looked at obama care if you had you know its not that its going to force private citizens many who cant afford it to purchase health insurance by 2014 if not they will be locked up if it was nhs style i might not be mad at it but its not so i can't get behind it.

  • I was going to buy tickets for Tom Chapin's performance at Wolf Trap in January but will no longer support him in any way, shape or form due to his disrespectful song about Sarah Palin, one of my heroes.

  • @TheLostkiwi2 Thanks so much for making room for someone else who would enjoy the show!

  • @indyanne57 Having Sarah Palin as a hero / heroine is like asking me to command the International Space Station, or a nuclear submarine, or drive a high speed race car through the AZ desert - Not a wise choice. I have a cousin who's very dear to me, but she appears to think that Sarah is the Conservative version of the Messiah, & I have to resist the urge to tell her how naive & simple - minded she sounds. Maybe I should send this clip to her.

  • @TheLostkiwi2 Don't think he'll miss you.

  • @TheLostkiwi2

    I doubt he cares.

  • @TheLostkiwi2 - your hero is a stupid cow

  • My new favorite song!!!!!!

  • very good work, as usual, Tom.

  • Amazing!

  • ohhhh yes!!

  • Well done guys!! Cheers!

  • Jon this is great!

  • we need to stop letting hicks into politics, especially frostbitten alaskan hicks. Bush and Dick "head" Cheney are prime examples.

    This is not meant to offend southerners, just stupid people.

  • @NickShanka - I take no offense, I'm just glad she ISN'T a Red State Southern Bible - thumping ditz who thinks Jesus is a white Southern Baptist member of the NRA !!

    She can star in a re - make of " Northern Exposure " !!

  • ROFL! She's such a fucking insane Christofascist Creationist loon.

  • Sheez

    I remember when this guy did the Saturday morning TV show "Make a Wish" back in the 70's.

  • God that's funny! I have to say I'm as conservative as they get, but I LOVE a good folk song! I haven't heard a good political song since "the ballad of Gary Heart" that John Denver wrote in the mid 80's.

  • I laughed so hard.

  • Comment removed

  • @skylark521

    LOL, Skylark. Please tell me what you do for a living. I want to make sure I have nothing to do with a company that would employ an imbecile like yourself.

  • Just brilliant..a veteran singer,songwriter who's been around for a long time effortlessly puts miss moose in her place.With tthis one,simple song,Tom Chapin shows more real thought,ability and talent than this empty headed woman ever will.

  • @joker3092

    Tom Chapin is more charming & tactful than Ms. " Tea - Party " Palin, aka " Pit - Bull with Lipstick " Palin. Even the REMOTE possibility of that empty - headed bimbette running for President in 2012 makes my SKIN CRAWL.

    Even though, I will admit she looks sexy. ( I'm only human !! )

  • @knoxvilleguy2 Oh yeah,a milf for sure.

  • @joker3092 -

    I might want to see her in a bathing suit or skimpy lingerie, but not in the Oval Office, for Heaven's Sake !!!

  • @knoxvilleguy2  I wouldn't mind seeing her "oval office".

  • @joker3092

    Ha ! Ha ! Double Entendre !!

    They had some " nude / topless " photos of her in 1 video, but they were photoshopped.

  • A-frikkin-MAZING! :D

  • Only Tom Chapin could do this one............

  • Really sucked. Sing and stay out of politics!!

  • @MrArcelton You do know that folks singing & poltics have a long and glorious history right? Woody Guthrie? Joan Baez?

  • ..I get it now, Youtube is the venue where folks with no accomplishments in their lives can make themselves feel superior by passing judgement on artists making a living at something they love to do from the privacy of their own small world. If you have an idea that Tom Chapin is untalented, you'd better dig a little deeper and find out who he is.

  • The "Make a Wish" guy... laugh out fucking loud, roll on the fucking floor laughing. I'll bet he wishes he had either talent, or an audience. hahahahahah

  • @recaulkulous you are not one of those folks that fall into the articulate category. The "f" word has such dignity and shows such deep thoughts...to some at least.

    You come across as the poster boy for ignorance is bliss. Being so rude is so tactless and it does not make you look any better either.

    Gosh, golly you betcha!

  • Comment removed

  • @recaulkulous Why is it people like you feel the need to curse in your comments? The right winger club that you belong to has a very narrow scope of life and people. Freedom of speech as long as they agree with you is about how it works right?

    Please be respectful of other people and you may find people will return the same courtesy to you.

  • Go away Tom Chapin is a better idea!

  • Tom Who?  It must suck being the untalented brother of someone famous. Just ask Charlie Murphy (Eddie's bro')

  • @recaulkulous he's harry chapin's brother.

  • @recaulkulous I agree untalented he is. Getting along on the rep of a sibling and that's about it. I saw him one in concert - waste of money.

  • hi-freakin-larious!

    BMP

  • 50%?  Please.

  • Tom's still stuck in the 70's.

  • Sarah Palin reached her "Peter Principle " before she entered politics. God help us if she goes any further.

  • That was irresistibly funny & good humoured. Sarah Palin has earned just about every jab that has come her way.

    At least this one was a gentle one without being mean spirited.

  • @ValsHere This was just the right balance of " irreverence " ( ? ) without being hateful, mean - spirited, nasty or small - minded like the Extreme Right - Wing.

  • Very funny, and (unfortunately) still timely. Bravo, gentlemen!

  • this is the make a wish guy

  • Yeah, ok Tom...and let's send the equally inexperienced Obama back to Chitown too...Stop drinkin' the cool-aid. Let's vote in someone with experience in 2012.

  • yes!

  • this was awesome

  • Excellent song! It pleases me, to know, that I am not the only one who wishes for Sarah to go away. Though, albeit, however, I'd be interested in watching the train-wreck of the RNC nomination of Palin for Prez in 2012...Let me guess who the the VP would be, (another quitter) Lou Dobbs???

  • If only she would listen to the nice singing men. The horrific bit of politicial fiction that is "Going Rouge" might never have happened....

    I'll be humming this to myself all day.

  • HECK YESH!!

  • YEAH! :D

  • He played Jack in Lord of the Flies! XD

  • @LydiaForBroadwayBaby That was actually a different Tom Chapin. Many people have thought that they are one and the same, but this it not so.

  • Funniest thing I have seen in awhile. Wish I could have heard him finish Cat's...

  • Michael seems to be doing more singing than Tom, but I think it's great that Tom gives Michael and Jon a chance in the spotlight.

  • ♥♥♥ it!

  • Great fun! I love Tom Chapin!!

  • Great song!

  • That was hilarious.

  • i love this song!!!! lol!!! -jenna

  • Comment removed

  • Excellent ideas in that tune.

  • Can someone post the lyrics?

  • lyrics coming within 24 hours

  • I'm adding them to the video's info!

  • Thanks!

  • This is amazingly true, I'm not an american and i\ hate sarah shes a pain in the *ss she should stay haome and look after her kids and hunt.....not presidential material for sure!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • all u liberals guess what u got ur wish she resigned lets all sing go away obama now

  • They're completely giddy thinking about their new lil' price, Al Franken.

  • Why does his political viewpoint change your opinion of his classic music, say "Cats in the cradle?"

    Grow up. I disagree politically with several artists, but enjoy their art.

  • Erm, "Cat's in the Cradle" was Harry Chapin. Completely different guy.

  • Okay, never mind. I just noticed this guy is Harry's brother.

  • Comment removed

  • YES! Palin 2012, that way I can vote AGAINST her!

  • Ok.

  • Death panel lies? It seems like most Palin admirers, you are stupid, reactionary and dishonest as she is. Palin is not only a moron, but a moron magnet.

  • you got to be kidding me

  • Ahhahah oh shit!!! hahah lmao!!

  • i know du guy in the blue shirt.

  • Wow! Shes the subject of a folk song? Im pretty sure that clinches Sarah Palins mythic status.You know what they say: Hottest governor/Coldest heart.

  • Tom, Harry would loved this! Great job!

  • its hilarious!!!! lol...

  • They're hilarious

  • "We've still got Tina Fey; she was better anyway" - pure and epic WIN!

  • Palin really is such a "tard." She hasn't visited all of the 57 states like Obama. She doesn't know that 500 million Americans a month are losing their jobs like Pelosi. She doesn't even know that FDR was president when the stock market crashed like Biden.

    All that said the video is still funny.

  • And she is many times stupider than any of the above. There is a difference between a gaffe and just plain ignorance.

  • sarah was such a tard. lol

  • Creative lyrics. Had me laughing almost as hard as I did during the campaign. I'm surprised they didn't do a verse about her right wing "family values" (oops forgot, her daughter is an UNMARRIED mother)

  • Love this! Funny lyrics, terrific spoof! Congrats guys.

  • You don't have to hate Sarah Palin to:

    1. disagree with her viewpoints

    2. make fun of her

    3. laugh at her

    4. laugh at other people making fun of her

  • There is nothing hateful in this song.  It is clever and funny. And most of the humor comes straight from what Palin herself has said, a testament to what a ridiculous politician she is.

    When conservative singers praise the President with simplistic, jingoisitic cliches, no one objects. But G-d forbid anyone publicly express a view not in accordance with the religious right; they get the proverbial tar-and-feather treatment a la Dixie Chicks.

  • If this video is so terrible, why does it have 4.5 stars? Let's all try to retain some coherency about us in political debate.

  • Kinda sad, cuz this isnt what Harry stood for.
