New Randy Rainbow Video: Life’s a F***ing Fantasy for Santos – A Randy Rainbow Parody

We all lie at least once in a while. It’s part of being human. However, there is a difference between a little white lie and consciously lying all of the time.

The new Randy Rainbow video is out today. Entitled Life’s a F***ing Fantasy for Santos – A Randy Rainbow Parody, it combines “Jolly Holiday” from Mary Poppins and The Seekers 1966 hit, “Georgy Girl“.

This is the roasting that George Santos deserves. His growing list of fibs and falsehoods has long since become a problem. The fact that he disturbingly refuses to admit the truth makes his exit from Congress all the more necessary.

New Randy Rainbow Video: Speaker of the House – Randy Rainbow Song Parody

There is an old saying about power:

“Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely”

Made famous by Lord Acton in the 19th century, this quote can be attributed to many who figuratively gave up their souls for the sake of power. The newest name on the list is Kevin McCarthy. It only took fifteen rounds of voting for him to become Speaker of the House.

McCarthy is the subject of Randy Rainbow‘s new video. Entitled Speaker of the House – Randy Rainbow Song Parody, it is based on the song Master of the House from Les Misérables.

It’s been a while since Rainbow released a new video. It was the cathartic laugh I needed after the ridiculous hoops McCarthy had to jump through. I would call them pathetic, but who knows what dark hole the country will be dragged through for the next two years?

The Randy Rainbow Podcast Review

It seems that everyone and their mother has a podcast these days.

Back at the end of September, Randy Rainbow added another accomplishment to the list: podcaster. Each episode is broken up into two sections: responding to fan questions and an interview with a celebrity friend or admirer.

With his trademark wit, honesty, and musical styling, he is as entertaining as ever. I find myself laughing, and wishing I was in the room as he was recording it.

Do I recommend it? Absolutely.

New episodes of The Randy Rainbow Podcast are released every Thursday.

New Randy Rainbow Video: Lock Him Up Yesterday! – A Randy Rainbow Song Parody

Hindsight is always 20/20. That does not mean, however, that we are stuck in the past. We can learn from the past, if, we are willing to understand that a mistake has been made.

Randy Rainbow released his new video on Thursday. Entitled Lock Him Up Yesterday! – A Randy Rainbow Song Parody, Rainbow uses the Beatles’ song Yesterday to underscore the fact that the former guy should not have skated the law for as long as he has been allowed to.

Only Rainbow can take a beloved song like Yesterday and use it to emphasize what many Americans knew all along. This man has broken multiple laws and must get his day in court. Just because he is a former President does not mean that he is immune from prosecution.

The only way to make it clear that what he did is wrong (legally speaking) is to let the justice system do its job. If he is allowed to get away scot-free, this opens the door to events that I do not ever want to consider as a possibility.

Thoughts and Prayers – A Randy Rainbow Song Parody

Mass shootings have unfortunately become part and parcel of the daily news cycle. There are two responses that we have become accustomed are the following: thoughts and prayers, and demands for gun control.

Randy Rainbow‘s new video addresses this dichotomy as only he can.

Using the song Dance: Ten, Looks: Three from the musical A Chorus Line, he calls out the usual bullshit response from the right when lives are unnecessarily lost to gun violence.

We all know what needs to be done. The question is, are those in power willing to step up, or will they once more bow down to their NRA donors?

Randy Rainbow: 1 Lauren Boebert: 0

Pride month started last week.

Like many of her pals on the right, Congresswoman Lauren Boebert started it off in the usual half-baked, conspiratorial way. Her tweet is as follows:

Randy Rainbow gave it right back to her.

That is all.

New Randy Rainbow Videos: PINK GLASSES (A YouTube Exclusive) & Lida Rose/Will I Ever Tell You? (A YouTube Exclusive)

One of the beauties of the internet is that it opened the door for new artists/performers whose work might have gone unnoticed or unappreciated. Randy Rainbow is one of these artists/performers.

Rainbow released two videos this week. Both songs come from his new album, A Little Brains, A Little Talent.

Co-written with Alan Menken (Beauty and The Beast, The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, etc), I love how this song is about being yourself and not caring what someone else thinks.

When you love something, it shows. Rainbow’s affection for Broadway musicals is obvious as he pays tribute to The Music Man. There are some who would pretend to like something for their career or their bank account, but not him. Underneath the hilarious parodies, there is a sincere love for the genre. He knows these shows in a way that allows him to spoof whatever is going on in the world while remaining true to both the characters and the narrative.

As regular readers know, I am a huge fan of Randy Rainbow. I love these videos and I look forward to whatever he is going to do next.

Playing with Myself Book Review

Overnight success is a misnomer. What is really is years of hard work and a few moments of luck that open the door to seeing a dream becoming reality.

Randy Rainbow‘s new autobiography, Playing with Myself, was released last month. Born in the suburbs of Long Island, he spent his childhood in both New York and Florida. Rainbow was a chubby, introverted child who was exposed to classic Broadway musicals at an early age. After coming out in his late teens, he returned to New York City and dreamt of being on Broadway.

When that didn’t come to pass, Rainbow took the out-of-work actors’ career route: working both at a restaurant and as a receptionist. Using his MacBook and the news as his raw material, he started creating videos. His career took off at the start of the 2016 Presidential election and the announcement that you know who was the Republican nominee. From there, he became the satirist, comic, and musical genius that has kept us laughing and sane for the last six years.

I loved this book. Rainbow is candid, funny, and authentic. He is uniquely himself in a way that is both universal, endearing, and charming. There is something universal in his struggle that I think we can all learn from while getting a few giggles in the process. And if anyone is still asking, that is his real name.

Do I recommend it? Absolutely.

Playing with Myself is available wherever books are sold.

New Randy Rainbow Video-GAY! – A Randy Rainbow Song Parody

For every step we make toward equality, there are some people who want to take us two steps back into a world in which inequality is king.

In Florida, the Don’t Say Gay bill is now the law of the land. Governor Ron DeSantis has been making the rounds in the media, trying to defend this heinous and unAmerican law.

Randy Rainbow has responded as only he can. His new video is entitled GAY! – A Randy Rainbow Song Parody. Based on the song “Shy” from the musical Once Upon a Mattress, Rainbow loudly and proudly proclaims that he is gay.

As much as I love the video (as I do all of his work), I know that it will not take this law off the books. The only way to undo is to ensure that DeSantis becomes a former Governor and that Nikki Fried takes the oath of office.

New Randy Rainbow Video: GURL, YOU’RE A KAREN – A Randy Rainbow Parody

Karen used to be just another name. These days, a Karen is known as a middle-class or upper-middle-class Caucasian woman who believes that she is above certain people and is not afraid to verbalize her status.

Randy Rainbow, as he always does is not afraid to call out the bullshit. His newest video is GURL, YOU’RE A KAREN – A Randy Rainbow Parody. Based on the song Dentist! from the musical Little Shop of Horrors, he points out the two most obvious Karens in CongressLauren Boebert and Marjorie Taylor Greene.

I laughed, I cried, and I laughed some more. The ridiculousness of these two is off the charts. Instead of representing their constituents and doing the job they were hired to do, they are wasting the taxpayer’s time and money on bullshit.

I can’t wait for the day that they are no longer in the halls of power. But until then, we have Rainbow to keep us from losing our minds.
