Lyrics:

How dare you, sir?
Yeah, you, yeah I said it
No respect for a bait and switch?
Give us credit

Straight spitting fibs
from the ghetto to Tokyo
You'd think we're Geppetto
the way we're getting Pinnochios

We've heard the details
we've heard complaints aplenty
we've read your emails
(not that you've sent us any...)

We know Obamacare is
falling apart by any tally
It's crumbling so bad
you'd think it's made by Nature Valley

But we got a new ad campaign
across the world
we got one for dudes
we got one for girls

So if you press corps bores
want to chance inquire
I hope you brought smores
because these pants on fire

Sir, millions of people are trying to accept
the loss of their plans you told them could be kept
and one thing that's baffling folks around the planet
is how have these plans been canceled but Two Broke Girls hasn't?

I've tried and I've tried, but the effort is in vain
Never has a website inflicted such pain
for our wasted time is a bailout in sight?

You said people could keep their plan but look where that led
We didn't say "plan." We said "fathead."
No, you said it'd be like Kayak or Amazon, like a laser, pronto!
No, kayaking on the Amazon with the mayor of Toronto

But you--can't comment, G. But you s--can't comment, cuz
Why can't you comment? I don't have Google Plus
But this is your law and now people need help
I mean you wrote the thing--did you just knockout game yourself?

Selling hope's like selling soap, son, I'll tell you why
You can't make either one without a little bit of lye

[mmacd]

On the phone today I told someone "I hope your day gets better". She responded that my hope didn't effect anything. I followed up with "well, having hope's, like having soap and I'll tell you why. You can't have either without a little bit of lye". She laughed and I could hear her voice change over the phone. Her day had gotten better just as I hoped. Needless to say Remy's song is still making people smile in 2022.

[DrShaym]

"Can't comment 'cause don't have Google+."

[TheIrishny]

Selling hopes like selling soap son, Ill tell you why, you cant make either one without a little bit of line is awesome!

[ArloPignotti]

Remy has made more music videos than people have signed up for the Affordable Health Care Act.

[FeliciaCravens]

'Sellin' hope's like sellin' soap, son, I'll tell you why
You can't make either one without a little bit of lye'

[TheJustin]

Another one of Remy's masterpieces. That last line has been cemented into my head for a decade.

[nustada]

Reminds me of when Obozo said the following
"So if somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can; it's just that it will bankrupt them"

[wrightleftify]

I keep coming back to watch this again. It's that good.

[jasonsherwood]

How is it that I'm just discovering Remy? Wow. Genius!

[NoorElahi]

Its been so long since a YouTuber made me smile this wide. We're not alone, are we? People still understand... things! We can move forward from this. There are enough of us, I think it's most people. Let's just ignore the noise and figure it out. Together. E Pluribus Unum.

[MRSketch]

I liked this. Too bad it wasn't longer.

[TheAlaric]

This guy puts out creative funny yet current content out faster then South Park.

[BigMobe]

I like how men are now required to pay as much as women, that statically cost more to insure, yet at the same time obamamcare mentions breasts 44 times and not once anything about the prostate. Thanks for increasing our premiums without giving us anything new for the additional cost.

[markmatblutt]

- "Can't comment G, can't comment cuz..."
- "Why can't you comment?"
- "I don't have Google Plus"

And I was dead :)

[knighthoodandmtgarena]

Remy, you're fantastic! I hope the YouTube algorithm promotes you soon.

[Chrisfragger]

"D-Did you just knockout game yourself?"  Man this shit would be SO MUCH funnier if it weren't so sad that it is all true.

[ambermayo]

 "Did you just knock-out game yourself?" LOL!

[vdjkdlp]

Freakin the Google plus and knock out game references were the best parts.

[fegolem]

"... You can't make either one without a little bit of lye."
That is genius.  Bravo!

[bobbytiger]

Remy . . .  The homeboy, making Arlington County, VA. conservatives very, very happy.  Another knock-out Remy.
