great video. You did a tremendous job. Ignore the goose steppers putting you down, Ignorance is the norm now a days people can not think for themselves . only what the talking heads tell them is the truth is.
If Bush was that bad, how is all that hope and change doing in the world, the economy, gas prices and the deficit! I think yobama should be featured in the parts with poverty, golf and the monkey.
Sharp ironic song from an excellent album. Very relevant to the Bush era and longstanding attitudes become even more extreme; hits the nail on the head at least as much now as it did then.
i aways watch this video and i luv it ! to wrap their coffins with a flag dosnt help at all. theres no need to be proud of winning wars, in other words proud of killing ppl.
im not even a north american, but im so sorry for the families of the ones that gave their lifes for a unecessary war, that could have been avoided...and congratulations for the atitude in this video !
Great stuff this! NY Times yesterday: President Obama left the door open Tuesday to creating a bipartisan commission that would investigate the Bush administrations use of harsh interrogation techniques on terrorism suspects, and did not rule out action by the Justice Department against those who fashioned the legal rationale for those techniques.
Absolutely, Tammarajean...you did a beautiful job. When this song came out in 1973, I was 17. I'd protested the Vietnam War (Oh, excuse me, "military action.")--as a young teen, so I understood every word of this song. Elton used humor to drive home his point about ignorance and fear. You created a remarkable piece here--truly, the first time the hook line is sung--and the war/death realities of the Bush administration are SHOWN to us--I nearly wept. Thank you for this very thoughtful piece
if you get a chance please watch some of my other video, especially of my granddaughter who has cancer. She is 3 and gesh whodathunk thatpreztrard W vetoed the child health bill?
This is fabulous. Very, very funny--until the refrain, "Goddamn it, you're all gonna die," when you drove home the point like a steel spike cloaked in a velvet glove. Brilliant. Out with the old, in with the new...thank GOD, the eight-year reign of terror, intimidation, torture and spying on our own citizens is OVER. This song is the perfect "Adios" to W. Thank you, very much.
okay guess what...if John McCain doent win then we are all going to DIE!!!!!!! And im texan so ya you have ruined our lived...we have been working our whole lives and you other people just sit and expect us to bring you a glass of merlot but see were too busy making money for us not you so like elton said Stop Ruining Our Lives...and Stop Expecting Us To Do Everything For You!!!!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I am full up with you smug little self-righteous leftist snotnoses and your scripted moralisms and arrogance. Do they send you people to Insufferable Asshat School?
I was around for EJ's "Texan Love Song" when it came out, and yeah, EJ/BT were jabbing a stick in our collective "redneck" eye, but we took this song for ourselves sang the hell out of it right back at 'em.
BTW, I have two PhDs, and I much prefer who you mock as trailer trash over the spoiled and neutered little Kossacks here.
jimmydingles you mean killing all those inocent people is a game to you? then your sick you need to check yourself in Fuck you you sick fuck i hope you fucking end up under a truck and nobody would care .
I am educated and my statements are mine, so why don't you move to a nice communist country like Cuba or China or Venasuala where your paitriotisiam and outlandish nationialisiam can be truly appriciated. It seems like your feelings take presidence over logic or reason. You do not know me or my aquaintences, professional expieriance, education level etc. For all you know I could have helped build the C17 to carry the dead Americans home
For an "educated" guy, you sure have a LOT of errors in your comment - and I do mean a LOT!!! Venasuala - Venezuela paitriotisiam - patriotism nationialisiam - nationalism appriciated - appreciated "." at the end of your question - should be "?" presidence - precedence aquaintences - acquaintances expieriance - experience education level etc. - missing comma after level Americans home - missing "." If I were you, I'd find a new school and start over. At least find a spell checker!
If you "hate" (and that's a very strong word to use) the game, then all players, if playing by choice as our "president" is, would have to be similarly vilified because of their choice to play that game. And I get the "may" in your comment as to your supposedly superior "assets," meaning you most likely DO NOT "hold a PHD ...," and DO hang out with those to whom you refer as "trailer trash."
I may hold a PHD from Berkeley and make six figures, own a manufacturing business and own city blocks in the most expensive markets in the country. Now why would I want to go hang out with trailer trash?
I do believe that Bush has made some stupid decisions as our president, but I still do believe that he guides the military in a selfless manner, being a soldier myself. He leads this country like a Christian should lead their life. (not saying that I know he is a Christian)
some of the comments reminds me of a quote "angry kids, mean and dumb"... you live in the most wonderful country in the world. The least you could do is learn to spell. Duh, one of the coolest things about the US is that I don't HAVE to like the leaders, but I sure as shit think about how difficult it must be to be a young man or woman fighting. READ a BOOK, go to school, honor what this country offers and stop whining.
Shut the #$&% up. Those soldiers didn't die for our freedom. They died because of warmongering capitalist pigs that tricked their way into the White House. What, do you work for Fox News or something? How the hell is she "disrespecting their memories" and "abusing their deaths". She's not the "DECIDER" that got us into this mess. I'm glad this video offends you, you facist FU%^#.
well, if you must know, I'm a soldier in 3d ACR, not someone working for Fox news. and the video did trivialize their deaths. They didn't die for ANYONE to use as a political statement, and using footage in such a way is disrespectful to their memories.
read Don't laugh at this! Just do it Start thinking something you really really want cause this is astounding the person that sent this to me said their wish came true 10 mins after they read the mail so I thought what the heck You have just been visited by DrSuess's Cat in the Hat. He will grant you one wish Make your wish when the count down is over 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 MAKE A WISH Send this to 10 videos within the hour you read this. If you do, your wish will come true
I thought I was the only one that would remember this song from "Don't shoot me I'm only the piano player" Glad I'm not alone, funny video along with it just a bonus.
I have always thought, from the day George Bush got elected president...that this song would go perfect with him, and pictures of him, and his whole attitude. And ever since then, everytime I hear this song, I think of George W. Bush, haha. Elton Rocks!!!!!!!!

Great song to bad about the left wing idiots amatuer bush bash. John(Jew-lebowicz) Stewart and all the hollywood scum need to get the big AlQaida haircut. Jobless slackers livin in mommas basement, whats the country become.
Won't comment on this video either. Love the song and have never interpreted it to be derogatory to anyone in particular, but, far be it, for me to tell anyone else what Bernie Taupin was thinking when he wrote this. Agree with the point about missing the point, somewhat.
Forty years ago- -redux. It took more than songs to bring down two presidents in a row who, were sending our troops into a meat grinder por nada. The big question is whether we are going to march in the streets, en mass, and take the consequences. Again. At least this time, we are not generationally divided. There are a lot of gray heads which hold long memories. Talk to your Grandma.....
thank you... I wish I could do more, but with Parkinson's at this age it is hard, still, I love this world and will try to be me for as long as I can.
