Arlo Guthrie/I'm Changing My Name To Fannie Mae

[Suzito]

I ll change my name to F you obama

[jackm24111859]

Hard to believe that someone as libertarian as him had a communist for a father.

[MsRhonaG]

I am naming my new kitten Arlo after this great songwriter. And dedicating this song to his homecoming!

[WigglesWingwang]

Tom Paxton updatded the song himself, just check out the video in the "related ones" on the right side.

[iceaxe56]

used to be chrysler

[benfreemon08]

You can get anything you want from Prez Obama's handouts.

[rolleicanon]

"...when they hand the trillion grandout, I'll be standing with my hand out..."

Hilarious...if it wasn't so apt

[spiko181]

Its wounderfull to see a musician artist standing up & voiceing what the people are feeling about these crooks !!!!!!!

[forty911]

Lets get behind this Man.

[mtnmusix]

The source of a lot of the problems (Frannie and Freddie)...go talk to Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, etc...

[medicvet]

the more things change...

[ITR862]

@medicvet the more things stay the same. lol

[elderravenfire]

Nice! I love this song.

[BabylonShitstem]

I love you arlo

And i hate bank robbers like Goldman Sachs

[elricvonclief]

Just print more money, it works for the banana republics ;P

[LadyFullMoon71]

Had no idea this could possibly come back after the '70s Chrysler bailout!

[mrinvader]

singing, laughing and having hilarious emotional overload at the same time.. theres Arlo for you... If I have 2 kids, ill name second after You! (im the fourth, gotta name the first the fifth sry)

[nwscjhyatt777]

I like Changing my name to Chrysler better! Oh well I love all Arlo! I will be naming my first son after Arlo!

[violetriot]

This is pretty awesome!

[JacobGFrancis]

Love ya, Arlo, but you're looking like hell!

[sjbaldwin11]

Give 'em hell, Arlo and Tom!

[groberson2007]

Give em swell Arlo!!!!!

We love this. 5*****s from the Roberson's...

[TheSongslinger]

Rite on Arlo. All the stars for this.

They deserve every word of it!!!

[mara235]

funny observation - Tom Lehrer aside (fun guy himself) - did anyone not see this train wreck coming?

[Suzito]

Tom Lehrer must be proud!

[GiftoChaos]

MUHAHAHA!

[ThreePuttinDude]

LOL, this is great thanks Arlo

[tootywink]

"It's a Liberal education!" That's right. I am calling my radio station and asking for them to play this American tune for a different kind of tune.

[nicmart]

Arlo supported the only candidate who opposed the federal policies which led to this disaster: Ron Paul.

[forty911]

What a great idea.

[austrianviking]

i saw his his show last night in new york. it was spectacular.

[notgod1231]

my dad(jody lampro) is the bass player for that tour

[Fotrane]

Outstanding. He played right down the road tonight......and ironically I just couldnt drop the $80.00 for the ticket...

[Jonesman08]

Does he do the classics on his current tour? Like Alice's Restaurant and Motorcycle Song?

[eeek77]

He certainly did last year when I saw him.

[AngelaRed]

man I wish they would let us edit our typos on here!! I meant Sarah Lee. sorry about that!!

[AngelaRed]

I was sitting here watching this, and my hubby wanted to know what was so funny, and they later once we put our kids down (7,6,3,and 1) we watched it together and enjoyed it! Thank You Mrs.Guthrie!! Tell Sare Lee that '79 babies rule!!!

[LeePax]

If you like this version, check out Tom Paxton's "I Am Changing My Name to Fannie Mae".

[writeroffthelake]

This is great; loved it. Arlo looks SO GOOD; his hair is drop dead gorgeous...okay, so I have a thing for guys with long hair, and at my age (56) long white hair is even sexier.

Wondering if anyone has Arlo Guthrie's "THE SANTA CLAUS SONG"...maybe it's called "SANTA CLAUS RAG"? If anyone could post it, I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE IT. I have been calling radio stations every Christmas to ask them to play it but NOBODY HAS IT. "My Pal, Al", is another. Can anyone post that?

[srvinfinity]

For the "Santa Claus Rag" click on Jguth3 Picture at the top right and I'm sure it will be on there and also "my Pal Al" should be there too. click on "See All". You could also type it into the search box and click "search

I know they are here because I have them in my favs.

[srvinfinity]

My pal al is titled "Me and My Goose" The search box works easier. Type in Arlo Guthrie

and then "me and my goose"

[srvinfinity]

The song you are looking for is "The Pause of Mr. Claus". So Type in the Search box 'Arlo Guthrie the pause of mr. claus'

[syellen]

Thank you so much for posting this and the other videos from the concert this year! We finally got to see Arlo play at the Church and what a memory to have.

[Johnfern99]

This is great!

[ilovelasagna]

Arlo you are a national treasure! I adore you!

[louswire]

This didn't take long to happen... good job Arlo.

[YautijaElder]

It seems like he forgot to exclude the decimals and counted them as well.

[hathors74]

....Let's just relax, man... If Americans would stop freakin' out about the situation, it would fix itself...

........Thanks Mrs Guthrie for sharing this with us... don't you dislike the fact that history repeats itself?...

.....I wish everyone could "GET" Arlo, man...

.let's start a group... "No more Chicken little".........

Love ya'll... thanks again

[ncponder]

My mistake ...technically a billion is one million million therefore there should be 12 zeros in that figure instesd of nine not including the decimal for cents...shows how big that number really is

[ncponder]

If you want to read the rest E-mail me and Ill send it to ya

Im against the $85,000,000,000.00 bailout of AIG. Instead, Im in favor of giving $85,000,000,000 to America in a 'We Deserve It Dividend.' To make the math simple, lets assume there are 200,000,000 bonafide adults in the U.S. Our population is about 301,000,000 +/- counting every man, woman and child. So 200,000,000 might be a fair stab at adults 18 and up.. So divide 200 million adults 18+ into $85 billon that equals $425,000.00.

[kend626]

Check the math. $85,000,000,000 divided by 200,000,000 is only $425.00.

[KnightmareNC]

Geezus man, you have a calculator on your PC, try using it.. It equals $425.00.. As a fellow North Carolinian I am embarrassed by your post.

[anarchteacher]

Ron Paul supporter - the great Arlo Guthrie - is spot on with this terrific song lampooning the trillion dollar Wall Street bankster bailout. Its class warfare now folks!

Working people versus the New York/Washington elites -

Taxpayers versus tax consumers -

McCain, Obama, Bernecke, Paulson, Pelosi, Schumer, Frank, and the whole rotten crew of liars and thieves versus honest hard-working Americans who are tried of their wars, their scams, their empire, their never-ending bullshit.

[CrawdaddyJoe]

@anarchteacher Hold on- a Ron Paul supporter trying to talk about class warfare? Get your ideologies straightened out, man. If you're on the side of working people, get on the side of working people, not on the side of some psuedo-libertarians who cherry-pick from classical liberal and classical anarchist philosophies to become apologists for the dominant social order while pretending disentangling the State from capitalism can lead to any sort of greater justice for working people.

[KenMacMillan]

@anarchteacher Class warfare is a socialist invention.

[yogione]

I changed my name legally once. I remember that the rap from the lawyer who took care of the paperwork, was that in America you can use any name you want as long as it isn't to defraud anyone.

[indyattic]

This is only speculation, but that may have changed since the government decided that all citizens are potential terrorists.

[yogione]

The rules are the same. Fanny Mae is fine. P. Casso might get you in trouble if you're an abstract painter. But you don't even have to change your name to arouse suspicion. Your own name is fine. Now run those known associates by us again on that guy in line with the beads around his neck; he'd better smell right if he's the guy assigned to seat 36c. Grab him before he swallows that thing. . .

[dawnofravenmoon]

Love it!!! Thanks for posting this.

[averyellis]

Now someone needs to update that Geto Boys song "Damn, it feels good to be a gangsta" to "Damn, it feels good to be a Banksta"!

[lamccaugh]

Thanks for posting the videos:)Please most more!

[1purpledragon]

thank you so much for posting this when I saw you up there video taping Friday night I hoped we would see some new videos from you.

I was hoping to get the chance to tell you in person how much I love and appreciate that you upload all these great videos but you seemed a bit busy when I saw you ;)

[kaburto1966]

I love it!

[TeamCannabis]

All in, a trillion dollar bailout four weeks before an election, sanctioned by all parties concerned, that could fill alot of potholes...someones getting greased,again! God bless capitalism and all the other "isms" too. Thanks, great tune for sharing.
