Just two weeks after the Access Hollywood revelation, the band managed to jam in an allusion to Trump’s famous “p”-word outburst. Mann’s song may have the best lines, and the catchiest melody, but a special award for speed should go to Franz Ferdinand for Demagogue. “I don’t want this job/I can’t do this job/My God/ can’t you tell?/I’m unwell.” “Isn’t anybody going to stop me?” she has Trump poignantly ask. Her sprightly folk-pop song Can’t You Tell aims to get inside Trump’s head, treating his candidacy as a joke he started that got out of control. “He just wants his terrible reality show back on NBC.”įar more insightful humor can be found in Aimee Mann’s contribution. The lyrics aren’t as coherent, but at least they beat the clunk of Before You Vote, a last-ditch entreaty to Trump supporters by Thao Nguyen (of Thao & the Get Down Stay Down). The visuals for Are These My Jets center on a video game character named Richard Walrus, who flies a tiny plane that blows things to hell while a weeping Abraham Lincoln looks on. An accompanying video surveys a painting of Trump and Putin lost in a deep kiss, as the music lurches through a flatulent synth-pop beat.Įl Vy – a project between the National’s Matt Berninger and Ramona Falls’ Brent Knopf – takes an equally cartoonish approach. Using the James Bond-inspired title With Love, From Russia, the song imagines a deal between the two politicians which has Putin taking the Baltic countries while giving Trump in return fantasy properties from Monopoly. The American singer-songwriter Bhi Bhiman zeroed in on Trump’s apparent one-way bromance with Vladimir Putin. It’s a spoof on both privilege and elastic truth, sung with maximum sarcasm and wariness. Band leader Ben Gibbard seized on an anecdote from the first presidential debate in which the Donald claimed he started his business empire with a million dollar loan from his father. The first song wholly initiated by the 30 Days project came from Death Cab For Cutie.
