DemonRat “Skyfall”

Posted by taxguru on March 4, 2013

Rush Limbaugh had this well done parody of Adelle’s Skyfall, with 0BaMao and his fellow DemonRats lying about budget cuts.  It ends with that braniac Maxine Waters explaining how we could lose 170 million jobs from this minuscule reduction in the growth of the Federal budget.

Obama Nation

Great song and video from Ray Stevens.  Unfortunately, this isn’t one of his classic spoofs; but a look at the real mess we have with the current pResident.

I Want Your Money song lyrics

Posted by taxguru on May 1, 2012

I just finished watching the excellent documentary, I want Your Money, that does a great job contrasting the successful capitalist policies of Ronald Reagan versus the destructive Marxist policies of our current affirmative action White House occupant.  It would be great if GOP leaders, especially Mitt Romney, would watch this and use its ideas in the current presidential campaign.

The song over the end credits cracked me up.  It makes a perfect companion track to George Harrison’s classic TaxMan that I have featured so often.  Here is a special video of that song, with the lyrics.

Funny song by Ray Stevens about our growing tax burden.

TaxMan by Blue Floyd

Posted by taxguru on April 28, 2012

I just came across another concert of Beatles songs by Blue Floyd, from 3/11/2002 in Atlanta.

Here is their very lively version of George Harrison’s “TaxMan.”

You can download your own copy of this track from my special TaxMan collection.

TaxMan by Boney Fingers

Posted by taxguru on August 21, 2010

As is the case with many tax professionals, I consider it a treat when I come across a version of George Harrison’s classic TaxMan song that I haven’t heard before.

Sherry has a friend whose husband is in the Wisconsin band Boney Fingers.  They are known mainly as a Grateful Dead tribute band, but also do creative covers of other artists’ songs and some completely original music as well.  They sent us some CDs and I couldn’t wait to play the one from Summerfest 2002 after I saw the song list.

Their version of TaxMan is an excellent funky one with a lot of instrumental breaks.  We received permission to post a copy of the song here.  I was going to make my own easier to download MP3 copy, but as I was browsing around the group’s website, I noticed that they already have several MP3 versions of their music available for free downloading, including my two favorite tracks from the Summerfest 2002 CD:

TaxMan 

Brick/Shakedown – An excellent mashup of Pink Floyd’s Another Brick in the Wall and the Grateful Dead’s Shakedown Street.

They also have several performance videos posted on YouTube that I will be checking out.  Sadly, TaxMan isn’t one of them.

TaxMan from Beatles tribute show…

Posted by taxguru on April 7, 2010

I recently came across this torrent of a Beatles tribute concert called A Walk Down Abbey Road, featuring Jack Bruce, Christopher Cross, Mark Farner, Todd Rundgren, Alan Parsons, Godfrey Townsend, Steve Murphy, John Beck.

This was part of a tour around the country in 2001 and 2002. In this particular show on 7/21/02, they played George Harrison’s TaxMan.
The full show is in the FLAC format and is 813 mb.
To save time and space, I created this MP3 version of just the TaxMan track, which is only 2.2 mb in size.
