I just saw an ad inviting folks to expeience the New York City tourist experience. The beautiful high society folks were shown dining in fantastic NY retaurants, shopping in Chi-Chi Soho boutiques, having a great time touring upscale art galleries. Mayor Bloomberg invites us to visit and experience, and spend.
The whole while, a jazzy, hip trio is singing an updated version "This Land Is Your Land" while the rich tourists shop...You know the one. It's that song about breadlines, and downtrodden poor people, and land owners keeping the little people down, and...and...*POP*. Well there goes my brain.
What were they thinking. Was there no other better song to use???
BTW, they changed the tune, changed the lyrics and left only "This Land Is Your Land" intact.
