I Feel A Great Disturbance In The Force
As if this great big whale suddenly cried out as if in gastric distress

Ted Kennedy, D-Mass., left, and country music singer-songwriter Brett James, right, join other recording artists on stage to sing "We Are the World" at the conclusion of the GRAMMY's on the Hill Gala Dinner and performances at the Williard Inter-Continental Hotel in Washington, Wednesday evening, Sept. 5, 2007.

Praise jeebus there's no video.

I'm just thankful they weren't wearing bathing suits in that photo.

Someone would have called Greenpeace, Jeff.

Hmmm.
When I properly attain power as Ultimate Emperor of Earth, Lord of All I Survey and Master of the Universe As Long As It Doesn't Take Too Long To Get There, I'm going to announce an edict that anyone singing this song gets put up against a wall and shot.
Or forced to have sex with Ted Kennedy.
Whichever is more painful.
...
Gonna save a TON of money on bullets!

Shame Teddy wasn't bodypainted ~ he could have been the world.

And he certainly has a built-in wind farm.

I think Teddy was singing his own lyrics to the song:
We rule the world
It's for the children
You only live to keep us in office
So start giving
It's a vote we're taking
We ought to run your lives
You'd only waste them anyway
So vote for me
And it all came together when Nancy Pelosi sang the Cyndi Lauper parts!
We rule the world
It's for the children
Your tax rates are way too low
You greedy bastards
There's a choice you're making
You'd better get it right
It's better running things our way
So vote for me!

Greenpeace is mad at Jabba for opposing wind farms, Mr. Bingley. They might chain themselves to his liquor cabinet in protest.

Oof. Pass the barf bags. That "music is the great uniter" line pushed my dinner over the edge.
