Music video for the song "American Reindeer", a comic take on anti-immigration hysteria, originally written and performed for Democracy Burlesque (dburlesque.blogspot.com).
Lyrics:
Well, Rudolph, the most famous reindeer of all.
Delighting the boys and girls, both short and tall.
But here is a fact we must mourn.
Rudolph's not American-born.
He came without papers, flew in like an eagle,
And that made his immigration quite illegal.
He can't have this citizenship prize.
If he won't even be naturalized.
So, Rudolph:
That nose ain't normal, that nose ain't right.
Glowing like that on the darkest night.
We must protect our children from your foreign fright.
Multiculturism be damned.
You're from a land that's so exotic.
Lettin' you stay would be idiotic.
We'll get reindeer from China, that's more patriotic.
Americans won't be scammed.
We should have cut your nose off the day you came here,
To steal good jobs from American reindeer.
Let's open hunting season, 'cause we don't like your kind.
Go back where you come from.
You're not O.K., that's just a left-wing wish.
'Til you're American like Newt Gingrich
But you're so 'cultured,' you won't even learn English.
Claimin' you got no vocal cords.
You're germ-riddled and you're so unclean.
You spread gay sex and ebola gangrene.
It's worse than those nude photos of Melissa Bean.
That I found on internet boards.
We should have cut your nose off the day you came here,
To steal good jobs from American reindeer.
Let's open hunting season, 'cause we don't like your kind.
Go back where you come from.
So what if Christmas evening you pull Santa's sleigh.
You'll just take welfare all the other three hundred and sixty-four days.
We should have cut your nose off the day you came here,
To steal good jobs from American reindeer.
Let's open hunting season, 'cause we don't like your kind.
Go back where you come from.
Go back where you come from.
Go back where you come from.
This is terrific, loved it!
