An ode to Ballin' Wallin and Puffy Duffy!

Good Day Readers:

For aficianados of CBC's This Hour Has 22 Minutes you had to love its Ballin' Wallin video last night a parody on the Senate scandal set to the melody of Lorde's number one hit Royals. By Canadian standards its already gone viral with over 20,000 YouTube views and has appeared more than 9,000 times on Facebook.

In case you missed the lyrics here they are:

I don't get any benefits at work
Don't think my pension will kick in till I'm 90
Sometimes I wish that I could be a Conservative Senator or MP
'Cause everyday is like gourmet orange juice, smoking in hotel rooms

Cheques made out to me even if I wrote them
MacKay don't care, he's taking Sea Kings everywhere
And everybody's just ballin' like Wallin because who doesn't want to fly

To Saskatchewan via Punta Canta
She don't care if its not on the way there

But we'll never be Tories, we don't have that kind of luck
The Action Plan don't work for us - we don't even know what it does

Have you met their ruler? You can call him King Steve

And every senator's got three houses, a condo in Manhattan
Scored sweet seats to the Canucks in Boston
They don't care, they'll take a Challenger to get there
And everybody's just building fake lakes, taking limos to the Junos

Pimpin' their jet planes, building their gazebos, they don't cry

Why can't we ever be Tories We don't have that kind of luck
The Action Plan don't work for us - we don't even know what it does

Have you met their ruler? You can call him King Steve
And he rules until 2015 

Hope King Steve opens this weekend's bi-annual Conservative policy convention in Calgary with Ballin' Wallin!

Sincerely,
Clare L. Pieuk
