The NAFTA Dance (karaoke)

Ahhh NAFTA, the North American Free Trade Agreement... the rich get richer, the poor get poorer, and the browner you are the worse you have it.
It took effect in 1994 and after a few years it started taking its toll. So in late 2003 when the Chicago Lumpen crew held their K.A.R.A.O.K.E. contest for "protest karaoke" videos, this seemed the right target. And so was born "The NAFTA Dance", this parody video to "Safety Dance" by Men Without Hats. I won't lie -- I was a big fan of Safety Dance and Men Without Hats back 1984. Thus, being intimately familiar with the original words, I took pains to make the parody words pretty close to the original. Watch the lead singer's mouth and tell me he isn't singing my words. Uh-huh..
Oh, and this video won the contest. Thanks Lumpen! That small-size T-shirt fit my 6'4" body like a charm. Not.
Now in 2009 as I see this again, it still seems largely current... no corrections needed, I think.

Excellent. I need to make a habit of singing your parody songs in public. When I do, I'll post the results on my channel. :-)

I have to say, considering your past effort, this one stays a lot closer to your roots, and, for me, that's a good thing.

I'd love to hear this with a vocal track.
Oh, and you were just in love with the blonde chick. It's OK, we all were.
