Jump You Fuckers~Occupy Chase~Gene Burnett

Here I am singing my song "Jump You Fuckers" in front of Chase Manhattan Bank in Ashland Oregon where my friends are holding an on-going "Occupy Chase" protest. Robert Doctor is behind the camera, Robbie Lindauer who started this thing is on the left, and my friend T-Poe is on the right. So far, as a result of this little small town protest, over 50 people have closed their accounts with Chase and have moved their money to one of our local Credit Unions. I'm in the process of doing something like that myself. Vote with your dollars people. Hit 'em where they live. If you don't like the way someone does business, don't do business with them.

Special thanks to Robert Doctor for teaching me how to play this song on the ukelele. About 60 seconds before this video starts...

This song like all of my music is available for downloading free or with a donation at www.GeneBurnett.com (It's from my album called "Maybe Nothing's Wrong~Part One") It's also available on iTunes and CD Baby but it'll cost you a buck.


Recorded on October 17, 2011 using a Flip Video camera.

i am sorry to say that i do not like this: gene is very talented but much of "wall street" employs working class folks who struggle to earn a living and make ends meet: they have neither the time or days off to sit and occupy anything - they have children to feed and mortgages to meet; for gene to curse at and ask these folks to "jump" is a bit much...

[GeneBurnett]

@moricalgarden I hear ya but I'm not talking about working class folks who struggle to earn a living. I'm talking about the higher ups. I don't want anyone to actually jump, as I say at the end. I wrote the song to blow off steam after the financial elites caused a crippling recession that I a & other hard working not very rich people have had to endure. The F'ers I'm talking about don't have mortgages, they foreclose them, take billions of dollars of our money and then raise fees...
