Beep! Beep! Outta the Way! [Official Lyric Video]

Описание: Henry Ford hated jazz. He thought it was a symptom of a decaying society and he blamed its popularity on a conspiracy of people from a certain religion. So I wrote him a 1920s-style jazz song!

It’s from the album The American Songbook: Redacted, which is full of songs that poke fun at history and culture, check it out at these links!

Lyrics:

Henry Ford was adored for making automobiles
But after several years it didn’t have the same appeal
So he bought a paper for himself and hired some scribes
To publish weekly anti-Jewish diatribes
And of the several racist views that he has
He blames the Jews for how much he hates jazz
And if this music criticism sounds insane
It is! Shouldn’t a car guy know to stay in his lane?

Beep Beep! Outta the Way
The old man has something to say
Here’s a word from Henry Ford
“I don’t like songs with too many chords!”

The tooting horns and jungle beat
Make young people move their feet
The Charleston is quite a scare
So I’ll force all dancers into squares!

That’s right! Henry Ford heavily promoted square dancing as his corrective for all the urban jazz he hated so much. It’s why we all had to take it in grade school. Let’s see, square dancing involves one person on stage telling everyone else exactly what to do. Why, that’s not dancing, that’s TYRANNY!

Beep Beep! Outta the way
What’s wrong with these kids today?
Their music’s bad, there’s no denying it
So it must be a plot by Zionists!

Music was good before
How great was the Civil War?
Yeah, people died, I guess that’s wrong
But it’s a small price for such great songs!

Just keep that music free
of all the ethnic syncopation
Sonic impurities
are a mark of too much immigration
It’s got to be an evil plot
each week new tunes assault the ears
No one needs this many songs
“I made 1 product for 18 years!”

Beep Beep! Outta the way!
Will jazz destroy the USA?
This old man thinks it’s true
And he blames it on the Jews
And he is gonna use
All his capital to spew
All his racist views today!
Beep! Beep!
