You don't know nothing 'bout hard work, Mr. Pres-i-dent
Pink has a song out entitled "Dear Mr. President". To say it has nothing in common with Marilyn Monroe's "Happy Birthday, Mr. Pres-i-dent" would be an understatement. It will be interesting to see if this song gets the airplay of Pink's "Stupid Girls" (it definitely won't get the video play unless Pink makes an actual video, which I don't find any evidence that she has done).
Here are three videos of the song: the plain acoustic version, just featuring Pink and the Indigo Girls singing the song, and two different versions in which other people have added their own video on top of the music, basically a series of photos illustrating the lyrics. My favorite is the one linked to the word "two." Good stuff.
Hat tip to The Blue Voice, who posts all the lyrics.
