In “honor” of Clint Eastwood’s bizarre speech last night at the RNC in Tampa, where he talked to an empty chair and pretended it was Obama (really!), Gorillaz (read: Hotspur) released new lyrics to their song Clint Eastwood. Watch the video, and you can sing/rap the new lyrics! You’re superfly!
I ain’t Harry, I’m feeling glad
I’ve been drinking, half in the bag
I’m useless on the stage
Go ahead, make my day
I ain’t Harry, I’m feeling glad
I’ve been drinking, half in the bag
I’m useless on the stage
Go ahead, make my day
Make my day
Make my day
Yeah… Ha Ha!
Finally someone let me up on the stage
Now, time for me is nothing cos I’m showing my age
Obama couldn’t be there
Now you shouldn’t be scared
I’ll just talk to a chair
And ignore all your stares
He’s intangible
You can’t see him so I command you to
Ignoramic view
Look I’ll make it all imagineable
Pick and choose
Sit and lose
Are you all confused?
Cool Hand Luke
Who you think is really sipping booze?
Picture him sitting down in this empty stool
Like you lit the fuse
You think he’s fictional
Mystical? Maybe
Spiritual hero who appears to you to clearly spew
A line too crazy
Lifeless
to those the definition for what high is
Priceless
for you because I’m talking all this high shit
You like it?
Pot smoke
My whole ‘right turn, Clyde’ choke
I’m psycho for white folks
“Fuck yourself” is my one joke
I ain’t Harry, I’m feeling glad
I’ve been drinking, half in the bag
I’m useless on the stage
Go ahead, make my day
I ain’t Harry, I’m feeling glad
I’ve been drinking, half in the bag
I’m useless on the stage
Go ahead, make my day
Make my day
Make my day

I had to watch this with subtitles. Everyone in the bar thought someone in the Obama Camp was trying to make him look insane. I guess 82 years of life does that.
Nice lyrics. This song seemed to have wrote itself.
Except for the parts I wrote. But yeah, I see how Weird Al does it now.
Politics has gotten so stupid I try to pretend it’s just a comedic channel other wise I want to drown my sorrows in booze and thoughts about the end of the world.
You do that regardless of politics! lol
Oh hahaha funny!
Clint has some unforseen talents as a comedian…
He had some. They’re gone now.
I saw those movies with the orangutan…
So I tried to join Youtube, and google something, and made a movie in movie maker with a song in it, and I saved it, but I still can’t do it in my blog, not as a link or an upload…
Full disclosure: I’ve never actually uploaded a video or posted one I’ve uploaded. But I’ve seen it done, so I know it works. It should just be a matter of copying the URL and pasting that into the post.
Or, rub a lamp, flip a coin, and hope for the best.
I tried that… but it didn’t work, so I tried something else, and it may have worked… it worked for me…but I need to know if it works for anyone else…
It might have worked… please go and see if the link works… oh please oh please…
OH! It says “this video is private” – so change that setting, and it will probably work.
The way you post pictures from a site (i.e., not from your hard drive) is the same as how you post YT vids. You just click the audio/video circle instead of the image circle.
I changed the settings in the Youtube thing… please try it one more time…
The link worked! But you’re not quite there yet.
Now, try to make it so the video plays on your site rather than opening YouTube.
Is that you singing and playing and 80s-ing?
Yes. It is a long story. Could you see the video? And how can I make it play on my sight? I don’t even know how I did what I did… sigh.
Are you a Commie?
Are you a hermaphrodite?
Only at weekends
This was hysterical. You should sell it to Weird Al.
Holy dating myself, Batman.
I literally tweeted the idea to Weird Al. No response yet.
Maybe I should do it. He reads my Twats.
So do I, only I read them by touch.
There’s a Braille joke in there somewhere.
I thought that WAS a Braille joke. Oh, wait, I see what you’re saying. I’ll keep feeling around for it – strange place to keep jokes, though.
There’s a penis joke in THERE somewhere.
gosh – I wish I had seen it.. he is 82 ..for real?
He and I both.
ok
