Financial Meltdown
Some people are bitter
That stock markets failed
But prices have backtracked
So me, I'm just swell
I'm buying now! (Buying now!)
Cuz stock brokers Porche's really cheapThe financial meltdown
Financial meltdownOoo-oh! I look like a genius!
With no investments at all!My rent is still peanuts!
As house prices fall, yeah!
With so many condos sold
And gas prices down! (Prices down!)
My comic fort's ???? about to grow!The financial meltdown
Financial meltdownIT'S FINANCIAL MELTDOWN
WE'RE ALL BROKE TOGETHER!!!!
(Unfortunately I was unable to find the the actual lyrics to the song, so I am relying on flashn00b's transcribed lyrics.)
The Financial Meltdown is a parody of a very famous song The Final Countdown, by the Swedish band, Europe. The modern parody of the song is an accurate depiction of the financial situation faced by the world. The song goes from the collapse in the housing market to the fall in oil prices. It also does not fail to overlook the insecurity of the very unstable investment market, which crumbled with the collapse of the major investment banks (Bear Sterns, Lehman Brothers, etc.). Overall this song portrays the view of the average person, who has to endure the treachery of the financial crisis.
