3:08Now PlayingCheck out Sir-Mix-A-Lot's “Baby Got Back,” remixed and rewritten to be about the shadiest kind of campaign funding. “I like super PACs and I cannot lie!”
Check out our parody lyrics:
I like super PACs and I cannot lie
Other candidates can't deny
When a guy walks in with a billionaire taste
And a checkbook in your face
You get funds, wanna take big checks
But you know that’s not allowed
No more than 2700 hundred
How can I get around it I wondered
Oh baby, that’s why I’m excited
about Citizens United
So listen to my story
Why super Pacs make me so happy
Ooh, corporations
You wanna make a donation?
Well, bring it, bring it
‘Cause you know there ain’t no limit
But make the illusion
There ain’t no collusion
PACs are dark, smart
We candidates do business “apart”
I'm tired of the FEC
Sayin' regulations are the thing
Take the average candidate and ask him that?
We love super PACS
So, candidates (yeah) Candidates (yeah)
Pretend you don’t have a hand in it
And donate (donate) donate (donate)
And donate to my PAC
Baby got PACs
Baby got PACs
*Spoken: *We're talking about super PACS, which are a little bit more shady than regular PACS. But we're calling them PACS in this rap, you know, for rhythmic purposes.
I like ‘em anonymous and big
Anyone can have a PAC
There was one for Romney
There’s even one for zombies
So what do they do?
Pay for ads, so many ads ads!
Paul, Rubio, Bush and Cruz
Super PACS run ads so they don’t lose
I want 'em helping my campaign
But are super PACS legal?
Many American people
Think they seem a bit evil
‘Cause there are some loopholes
Gettin’ cash from groups that don’t disclose
Who their donors are, yo
So sometimes nobody knows
Hillary (yeah), Hillary (yeah)
Put Super PACS in her artillery
She turned around, looked away
Priorities USA
Baby got PACS
Baby got PACS
*Spoken: *Yeah, baby, when it comes to naming super Pacs
Make sure you make em sound real patriotic and wordy
Working for Working Americans, Pursuing America’s Greatness, Americans for America?
And oh there’s Keep the Promise 1, 2 and 3
But what about Obama, does he play into PAC drama?
Sure does, without that money he woulda been a goner
But Bernie Sanders don’t want none
not even from UNIONS
He thinks that they are shady
He don’t want none of that
Some candidates wanna play old school
And say that money ain’t cool
So they protest in objection
But can they win the election?
So candidates, just remember
If you wanna win next NovemberJust get yourself some super PACS
*Spoken: *But don’t forget, you may be tied to some special interests who might just try to exert their influence over you now that you’re president.
Baby got PACS
