The oh-so-brilliant Emmy Award nominee Randy Rainbow sends us into the weekend with this satirical take on the current House impeachment inquiry via a send-up of “Cain’t Say No” from the Rodgers and Hammerstein classic, Oklahoma! You know, even Ado Annie knew right from wrong… The lyrics are so on point as is the video. By the way, Randy has a new holiday album and you can check it out here.

Giuliani, here you go again Lie, lie, how can we believe you? Giuliani, gurl who let you in? Ay, ay, when will Donald leave you? Blowing his own defenses, flubbing his false pretenses, Can’t trust what he says on TV shows

Political satirist Randy Rainbow’s latest hysterical offering is his mashup of tunes from the Andrew Lloyd Webber/Tim Rice classic musical, Jesus Christ Superstar. But in this iteration, Rainbow riffs on Donald Trump’s recent headlines when he tweeted about a political pundit referring to him as the “King of Israel,” and when he looked up to the sky and said, “I am the chosen one.” So, Randy mixes his magic on three songs from the show: “King Herod’s Song,” “Everything’s Alright,” and the title track. “Cheeto Christ, Cheeto Christ / He’s like if Jesus were pumpkin-spiced.” Hit play below for the uber-clever word-play:
Randy is currently on tour where crowds are flocking to experience his very funny sense of political theater. Click here for details about the tour.
Political satirist Randy Rainbow offers his riff on the Jonas Brothers recent #1 hit, “Suckers,” as he skewers Trump supporters for their blind allegiance.
The segment with dueling Lindsey Grahams is cute, but my favorite moment is incorporating Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi’s now famous ‘clapping’ at one of the Donald’s State of the Union addressed.
Cute way to start the week. By the way, did I mention Randy is nominated for an Emmy Award in the short form category? Congrats to Randy!

What better way to start the week than new Randy Rainbow?
In his latest parody, Randy puts his twist on the opening number from Disney’s Beauty and the Beast. But in this incarnation, instead of “Belle!,” Attorney General William Barr gets the satire treatment with “Barr!”
Clever, clever stuff 🙂
Happy Monday!

Political satirist Randy Rainbow offers his post-Robert Mueller report ‘feelings’ via his parody of Stephen Sondheim’s “Buddy’s Blues” from FOLLIES.
I have to say, the lyrics are so sharp. Thank you, Randy Rainbow, for the respite.
Watch below.
Randy Rainbow offers up a ‘wonderful’ parody of Rodgers & Hammerstein’s “In Love With A Wonderful Guy” from South Pacific for Hump Day.
But in this satirical take on Donald Trump’s head-scratching attraction to tyrannical leaders, Rainbow sings “He’s In Love! (and we’re all gonna die).”
I don’t want to spoil any of the terrific tongue-twisting tweaks on Hammerstein’s words, but I can promise if you hit play below you’ll have a smile on your face.

Political satirist Randy Rainbow brightens our Tuesday with his latest video, a parody of Madonna’s 1983 hit, “Borderline.”
In this version, Rainbow calls out Donald Trump’s wild exaggerations of a national emergency as “Border Lies.”
As always, the clever word play by our intrepid Mr. Rainbow is on point. Hit the play button below and enjoy.
SNL’s cold open recapped the week’s biggest political stories including Donald Trump’s failure to get even one dollar for his beloved border wall before ending the longest government shutdown in history.
From the YouTube description: Tucker Carlson (Alex Moffat), Jeannine Pirro (Cecily Strong), Ann Coulter (Heidi Gardner), Wilbur Ross (Kate McKinnon) talk about the government shutdown and Roger Stone (Steve Martin) stops by to talk about his arrest.
Riffing on his recent gaffe wondering why furloughed government workers were struggling to make ends meet during the shutdown, McKinnon’s Ross says, “I simply meant that there are other ways of getting money – like, they could have liquidated some of their stocks or sold one of their paintings.”
“Even if they sold a lesser Picasso, that’s still going to get you through a week or two of yacht maintenance,” McKinnon as Ross said. “We all have to make sacrifices in times of hardship. For example, instead of going out to dinner you could open a restaurant in your house, or, for a period of time, you could have your horses attend public school.”
And Martin was spot on as Roger Stone mocking the political operative for being a “broke… feeble old man” who is drowning in legal fees and can’t get anyone to buy his books (“because they’re bad!”).
“Just tell people how they can donate money to help you,” Carlson says.
“I set up a donation pageant based on a phrase people have been yelling at me: ‘Hey, Roger, go fund yourself!’” says Martin’s Stone.
