Ginger People (parody)

Just to clear a few things up, I have red hair. Based on some of the comments I have been getting, my guess is that the video quality is too bad to show it. This is supposed to be funny, just a joke so please take it accordingly.

Here are the lyrics:

As a kid, I took a lot of crap for being a redhead, but now I can look back and laugh on it - So I wrote a parody to Randy Newman's Short People.

Here are the lyrics:

Ginger people got no reason
Ginger people got no reason
Ginger people got no reason
To live

They got bright red hair
Beat red skin
They got red eye lashes
And that's just the beginning
They got red mustaches
And red little beards
They wear suntan lotion
Oh my god are they weird

Well, I don't want no ginger people
Don't want no ginger people
Don't want no ginger people
`round here

Ginger people are just the same
As you and I
(except for the whole soul thing)
All men are brothers
Until the day that they die
(it's a wonderful world)

Ginger people got nobody
Ginger people got nobody
Ginger people got nobody
To love

They got fair skin
That burns so well
They've got to lather up
Just to get the mail
They got lots of freckles
can play connect the dots
They got a bad temper
more often than not
They got a recessive gene
And won't last for too long
Won't be much longer until they're gone
Well, I don't want no ginger people
Don't want no ginger people
Don't want no ginger people
round here

It would have been a stronger/funnier parody if it didn't show you signing. You don't have a stage. You can't be sitting on your bed looking at your camera. Pretty funny though.

I have a really small bedroom, so it looks like I'm sitting on my bed, but I'm actually sitting at my desk. I should have made a more entertaining video though, I'll agree with you on that!

this sucks. Especially in the UK or anyplace the term 'ginger' is used, the prejudice against redhaired people is the worst. Which is more a testament about the ignorance of non redhaired people. I do not like tyhis video. it is the copout to 'comedy' that many redheads take instead of standing up for yourself.

[shoegooguru]

I could EASILY have chosen to be just another self deprecating comedic buffoon and I chose rather to be intelligent and proud. Redheads(men especially)know as much or more about prejudice than those USUALLY brought up. We get disrespected by ALL colors! Traitor!!!!!

@shoegooguru I'm just kidding dude :) But you may not know that the original song was made so people could realise how dumb that kind of descrimination is. This one is just about the same! Self-irony is the way to get past that... The way to take it easy... just like lookin4busstop seems to do. I may not be red haired but I can be self ironic with many other things. such as my clumsyness, lazyness or my ability to always get somewhere an hour later than I should. Don't be so serious.

@shoegooguru at least we didn't sell our souls! LOL! :3
