RANDY RAINBOW’S “JITTERBUG” PARODY

June 7, 2020 ypadmin

See and hear Randy Rainbow’s clever parody of the Yip Harburg-Harold Arlen song “The Jitterbug” (cut from The Wizard of Oz film) in which the singer-satirist skewers the Trump administration’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the George Floyd killing.

A song can degrade your culture, debase your language.  It can pollute your air and poison your tastes, or it can clear your thoughts and refurbish your spirit.  It is the pulse of a nation’s heart, the fever chart of its health.  Are we at peace?  Are we in trouble?  Are we floundering?  Do we feel beautiful? Do we feel ugly?  Are we hysterical, violent?  Listen to our songs. 

Yip Harburg, at the launching of the “Lyrics and Lyricists” series at New York City’s 92nd Street Y, Dec. 13, 1970.
