Parody Idea
As I clicked on his blog today–my favorite thing to do with my morning cup of tea–I started humming, “Kru-u-u-gman” to the tune of The Buckinghams’ song, “Susan.” So of course I pulled up the song to see it’s parody potential.
It was better than I hoped. Just listen to the first 30 seconds to see how perfect it would be.
Naturally we’ll have to come up with something to substitute in for “love you,” (“loathe you?”), but you must agree the framework is already in place.
Krugman, looks like I am losin’
I’m losin’ my mind (losin’ my mind)
I’m wastin’ my time
Krugman do you have to be confusin’
I ask myself why you’re sayin’ “Buy, buy”
No other economist could ever shill like you
Though you say “Boost G
“To help the economy increase AD”
What about crowding out?!
… Maybe it’s not that great.
Love love love love…
I love you, yes I do, I do (2x)
Susan I love you
I love the “buy buy.” We may need to work on the rest.
Sorry, meant to delete that last part altogether.
Krugman, looks like you’re losin’
You’re losin’ your mind (losin’ your mind)
You’re wastin’ our time
Krugman do you have to be confusin’
I ask myself why you’re sayin’ “Buy, buy”
No other economist could ever shill like you
Though you say “Boost G
“To help the economy increase AD”
What about crowding out?!
… Maybe it’s not that great

Loathe loathe loathe loathe…
We loathe you, yes we do, we do (2x)
Krugman we loathe you
