Song of the Day 7/16: Roomie ft. Christine O’Donnell, “I’m Not a Witch”

Filed in Arts and Entertainment by on July 16, 2019

Hey kidz, ‘memba the innocent days of nine years ago? Mike Castle was running for Senate and when he was challenged by Christine O’Donnell we all had a good laugh. When she released her still-infamous campaign ad, the Gregory Brothers were there to Songify it. It was just one of a string of hilarious but catchy tunes they paired with found video, typically from local news broadcasts. I don’t know if they’re still at it — they were supplanted by Jib Jab and now Randy Rainbow as internet-news-based musical parodies — but some of the songs were catchy enough that they spawned cover versions. Several were by the Swedish singer-songwriter Roomie (who, like all Swedish pop singers, sounds just like an American).

For old times’ sake, here’s the original Songify version.

    You have to admit this is more entertaining than anything Chris Coons has ever done.
