Fair Game Exclusive: Andrew W.K. covers the McLaughlin Group!
Everybody knows that John McLaughlin, the host of the classic public affairs program The McLaughlin Group, sometimes says some pretty crazy stuff. Sometimes what he says is just so magical, so mind-meltingly strange that it enters the realm of the sublime. Such a moment occurred just a couple weeks ago when McLaughlin was speaking to correspondent Pat Buchanan about whether Sen. McCain had the Republican nomination wrapped up. Rock star Andrew W.K. was so inspired by this clip that he put the words to music in a new song created especially for Fair Game. It’s called “The McLaughlin Groove” and he was on the show last night to tell Faith all about it. To hear the full segment and download an mp3 of the song, click here!
If you would like to sing along, here are the full lyrics to “The McLaughlin Groove.”
If it happens, Pat…
If it happens, Pat…
If it happens, Pat, may he rest in peace
Death comes in the night on little cats’ feet!
If it happens, Pat, may he rest in peace
Death comes in the night on little cats’ feet!
on little cats’ feet, on little cats’ feet!
on little cats’ feet, on little cats’ feet!
The next man on the moon will be Chinese!
The next man on the moon will be Chinese!
The next man on the moon will be Chinese!
The next man on the moon will be Chinese!
