Lily Allen wrote a song recently for George W. Bush.
A few folks decided to address it to the Proposition 8 (ZOMG NO GAY MARRIAGE!!!!) people in California, with a fan vid.

I just walked home from the pub humming it and grinning like an idiot.

So hey, here's the fan vid.

I kind of love Lily Allen now.

  I shall watch it after work, if only for the pretty manflesh.

    There's a couple of cute guys in, but there's not much inappropriate manflesh. However, the song is probably NOT work-okay.

  The French did a version too which I rather like. It's full of adorable French people too.

  I am a little heartbroken that this song is totally not in my range and so I can't possibly ever karaoke it while drunk. Or I really shouldn't. Damn sopranos.
  
  That said, I kind of wish I'd brought a boombox with this to a protest and gotten everybody to sing along.

    That would've been awesome, with the boombox.
    However, I have determined that with my range, the song loses all it's cute points and becomes very disturbing.

    Well, I think I could steer you through making that happen: I may have an mp3 of the song.

  I still say it's perky, but that just adds to its charm.

    Agreed on both points, honestly. The perkiness is just a one-up.

  Probably not constructive, but damn if it doesn't express the emotion accurately.
  
  It always bemuses me when the homophobes get the vapours because we're angry - haven't gay people got a damn REASON to be angry? We need venting like this

    I dunno, it came off more as '...catch up with the 19th century here, bub' than 'I HATE YOU AND WANT TO MAKE YOU TASTE YOUR LIVER', to me. The local newspaper did a rather fantastic piece pointing out that nobody under the age of 20 seems to give much of a shit about the heterosexuality of marriage, and that the long fight's already been lost, for decades: we just need to get the stupid crap off the ballot and it'll go away on its own. The author was Mark Morford, and I think the title was 'the great gay shrug'.
