What We Call The News Lyrics by JibJab

2007

[Verse 1]
There was a time not long ago when each and every day
At six o'clock each evening, you knew news was on its way
From anchors of integrity and three channels to choose
It's what we called the news!
[Verse 2]
Then along came cable and the ratings race ensued
Great legends found themselves replaced by blondes with big, fake boobs
Debate replaced with punditry, politically skewed
It's what wе call the news!
[Verse 3]
We intеrrupt this story which is coming from Iraq
'Cause Rosie's suin' Donald, Donald's suin' Rosie back
We're cutting from Darfur, we're in Des Moines with urgent news!
"There's a finger in my food!"
[Verse 4]
Guitar strings, titles, sound effects, and graphics everywhere!
Breaking news each minute in the rush to get on air
With scandals, dramas, tragedies, and mindless ballyhoo
That's turned our brains to goo!
[Verse 5]
Now only three percent can point to Kabul on a map
But 96 percent can claim they've seen Brit's putty-tat... (Meow)
The world's greatly affected by the stories you choose
To put into the news!
[Verse 6]
Bronco chases, plane wrecks, shootings, victims on a cruise
JonBenét, Scott Peterson, and Anna Nicole too
Celebrities in rehab and a mauling at the zoo!
It's what we call the...
What we call the...
What... we... call... the... news!
[Reporter]
This just in: President Bush can't open a door!
[President Bush]
They call this crap the news!
