This Land Ain't The Same
For those of you who haven't seen the JibJab treatment of Bush and Kerry singing "This Land Is Your Land", go see it.You should probably see it soon in case it gets taken down, because they are being threatened with a lawsuit for copyright infringement. This for satirizing a song whose songwriter said of it:
This song is Copyrighted in U.S., under Seal of Copyright # 154085, for a period of 28 years, and anybody caught singin it without our permission, will be mighty good friends of ourn, cause we don't give a dern. Publish it. Write it. Sing it. Swing to it. Yodel it. We wrote it, that's all we wanted to do.
Thanks to Tamara for the tip.

Man, that's just too silly. And the animation's a hoot too. I saw it last week on "The Today Show" and Katie Couric couldn't stop gushing over it. The way Gregg and Evan Spiridellis threw jabs at Bush and Kerry, and still managed to keep it fairly positive, is a real accomplishment!

Wish I could send 'Ludlow Music' a note to tell them they are litigious slobs.
