  • Real name of the song: This for That

  • At the end it should show a company giving millions to a politician's campaign funds, and they get enormous tax breaks and "bailout money" in return.

  • I love the running gag with the Wheels.

  • Why is this video so quiet? I had to put my speakers up to my ear.

  • Why does this guy look like Gaddafi? XD

  • 2:03 LOL. Columbus didn't barter. He just pointed a gun, demanded gold, shot anyway, then tied bells around the natives' necks and said he'd do the same unless the bell gets filled with gold dust.

  • The problem with cash is that, for it to work, you pretty much have to have a reliable government whom everybody trusts to issue and back the currency. These days, I wouldn't call fiat currencies "smarter". Fun video though!

  • @Rubberman202 oh sorry, didnt see that

  • yeah, sort of...

  • @hphadl What are you talking about?  The singer said "kid like you", and that part is supposed to be about the modern day!

  • @Rubberman202 Remember, this is supposed to be when cave men were alive.

  • My 10th grade World History students loved this song and sing it all the time! We were studying the revival of trade in Europe during the years of 1000-1300.
