Around 1:40 Colbert jumps in with some original rap... love him. And I already very much like this song... it makes me happy every time I hear it. Could you imagine being close friends with Colbert? Or being married to him? Is he even married? I wonder what he was like in college, or his early twenties... probably hugely dorky and annoying but hilarious and adorable!

Lyrics:
Yeah, I love New York, it's the king of all the cities
I lived up by the guggenheim till I got myself some kiddies
Moved to Connecticut, bye George Pataki
Volvo to the dry-cleaner pickin' up my khakis
Now my shopping mall is closer, my community is gated
My shorties are all private school educated
Home theater system, 60-inch plasma
Clean suburban air much better for my asthma
Still hit the city, Times Square I keep it real
Hard Rock Cafe for their appetizer deal
M&Ms Store, Disney Store, I'm in heaven
I own this town from 41st to 47
Got tickets to The Lion King, that show is fantastic
Leave half an hour early so I can beat the traffic
I can get home really fast, driver rocks an EZ-Pass
To the land of cheaper gas and the upper middle class
ahhh i was going to blog this, too!!
ReplyDeletecheck out the clip of colbert interviewing ariel levy, who wrote "female chauvinist pigs" and went to wesleyan and came to speak the other day. i promise you'll like it, georgina!
ReplyDeletecolbert is married with kids
ReplyDeletehe's older than he appears (watch any clip of him being a rock n roll star in eyeliner...you will see)
plus, i feel like he's too snarky to have been dorky...

That is awesome! I'd bet that made Weird Al feel like he was missing out.
