FDR's The Only President For Me

I made this song for a history project in AP US History. All the instruments are recorded by me, the horrible vocals are also me. Yes I know they are bad, I'm sorry. The tune itself is from the LeetStreet Boy's "Yuri The Only One". I'd like to thank them for letting me use the song in this way.

It took me a few weeks to record the instruments, since I had to figure out bass, and lead guitar. I also had to make sure the song sync'd. I did get an A, so YES! My influences are my teacher Ms. Collins, AP US History, the class, and of course Matt, of 2EastMusic.

Lyrics
(Intro Riff)
You're the 32nd President of the United States
You're in a wheelchair but you got what it takes
Election of 32, you brought USA to a new clean slate
The Great Depression was no match for you
Your social programs always speak for true
If you don't like FDR then go get a clue!

For the farms, and the poor, and banks
You'd do anything
For us you'd do anything

(Chorus) FDR's the only president for me
He made the new deal can't you see?
FDR's the only president for me
He stands for justice and unity
FDR's the only president for me
He saved the people of this great country
So I hereby dub thee
Best President in History!

Who but Hoover oh give me a break?
The man plagued this country with his mistakes.
That's why you, FDR, are as sweet as cake.
You gave people jobs with the CCC
Saved poor men and their families
You tried your best to end all the poverty

For the farms, and the poor, and banks
You'd do anything
For us, you'd do anything

(Chorus, exclude last line)

FDR's wife has got it pretty right
She did a lot for a woman of her time
I'm not sure what fits here that could rhyme
She is pretty riiiight
FDR's wife has got it pretty right
She may not have been good looking
But that is quite alright
FDR's wife has got it pretty right
Eleanor Roosevelt is somewhat riiight
(Soft Chorus, exclude last line)
(Chorus)
END

FDR's one of the worst presidents in history.He never brought the US out of the depression his economic policies kept us in the depression untill WW2.WW2 brought the US out of the depression.War creates jobs.He was a warmongerer.He knew about Pearl harbor and let it happen.He robbed the american citizens of all their gold by threatening them with 10 years of prison if they didnt hand over their gold. And took the US off the gold standard.If only Louis McFadden had been president back then.

Thank you for your input about FDR, I appreciate you writing that message. Maybe next time, I'll make a song called "FDR's the worst president in history" lol.

[sinepanigav123]

monotone vocals are monotooooooone

[ClrcleNine]

I'm sorry, I'm no vocalist, and I acknowledge that I'm a horrible vocalist. It's just, the rest of the class was afraid this project was going to fail so they gave up on the idea. That's why this is a one person band, with my crappy vocals.

[LeetStreetBoys]

This song is as sweet as cake.

[ClrcleNine]

[Davesomenumbers]

amazing, i hereby dub this best cover in history

[Confederateally]

Ok, what the fuck is this guy talking about?!!

FDR didn't end the great depression, he only made it worse by stopping trade with Europe.

And wars do create jobs and cash dumbfuck

Why do u think we got out of the depression in the first place? FDR with his magic socialist powers just got us out of there??!! Is that what you mean?

So stopping trade with Europe was a good thing?? What a dumbass. |  I V

@ancaps84 You're an idiot I bet you're one of those far right fascist conservatives. God I fucking hate you people because you refuse to see the whole picture. A war doesn't create jobs until it's over stupid. Do you think that if we're in a war having to upkeep soldiers and losing we're creating jobs? The great depression was worldwide and extremely hard to get over and it was already recovering in America in the mid 30's. It was rising at a steady rate from 1938-1944. 3 years b4 America joined

FDR was a HORRIBLE PRESIDENT! WTF are you smoking? The new deal? Extended the Depression, which only ended when the private sector started producing wealth during WW2. Social Security? bankrupt and unconstitutional. Served more than 2 terms as president, should tell you something about corruption of power.
