Fun song! You did a good job with it, including the vocal. I have a question.
F#mA Things are perfect in Denmark
C#mD but screwed up here
BmA why can't everyone see it
F#mD it's so simple and clear
F#mA why should you have bills
C#mD that you can't pay
BmA while the billionaires eat
F#mD caviar all day, they eat it every day
That sounds like it's about Bernie, so is this about only Trump or just the whole campaigning scam? Enjoyed it! Take care. Greg

yes, that verse is about Bernie. I feel his entire campaign revolves around 3 or 4 issues, none of which the President has any control over. So yes, Bernie supporters are Easy to Please.

Politics is Poison!
singing about politics is usually poison, this sounds like "all Americans are stupid" Trump followers, Bernie followers, Hillary followers. btw you're right, they almost never campaign about anything that a president is supposed to do once in office.
Sorry, this is not an attack, the song is catchy, reminds me of early Jeff Lynne.

But wait...I can't follow...I think Sarah Palin has been a great Vice President these past eight years and they should have gone ahead and ended the Civil War in 1978 like President Roosevelt wanted. That what Jon Stewart says. Are you both suggesting that American voters are......
Stupid?????
I'm really confused now.

First, yes I really like the song. The beat, chord progression, the vocals and mix are super but the lyrics took it over the top for me. This could be about any presidential candidate in the past few elections.
Second, Yes the vast American people are stupid or at the very least uninformed. We know more about our favorite sports team than we do about presidential candidates. Most want something free from them so politicians say things what will appease the populous so they can get elected. This isn't only for the president but for congress and state and local governments. Also the more we push for sports in colleges and our local school systems the dumber our country becomes. That's not to say that there are not brilliant kids in those schools, there are, but the emphasis is on sports and not education and the arts.
Sorry for the rant but this is a sore spot for me.
I'll just sit back and wait for the hate mail to come.
Ps-this is a great song - two thumbs up

Mario, I promise you this, if I get elected you are going to be rich, really, really rich, you wanna know how, because I'm going to build a wall around New York and make pay people to come into see you, that's going to make you really, really, really rich, because I've done billions of these deals, billions, and made a lot of money, it was just fantastic, I actually bought Hillary from Bill and then sold her back to him, make an 86 billion dollar profit on that one, and I promise you this, I would not lie, if you vote for me, I will send you a house full of great steaks, that are just fantastic, I made them myself, I own billions of cows, billions, and it's just great. I promise you that.

Nice song. I wouldn't suggest you should be contacting the IRS regarding any 521 charitable organization issues until this song is off the first page.

Ps-this is a great song - two thumbs up I can't credit the current candidates for inspiration, the chorus for the song (all two lines of it) was written in 1975 and never finished. It was written in an old songbook with the chords next to it. I just sat down a couple of weeks ago and made up the verses, they seemed appropriate. I actually used BIB to work out the chord progression for the verses, it's so easy to change the chords and listen to how it falls together. That F#mA C#mD BmA F#mE progression is not something I would have chosen without hearing how well it resolves.
