Nick Offerman: You Better Vote

Nick Offerman once again nails the comedy and the stakes in You Better Vote

My old buddy Nick Offerman is at it again with another great political message in song in only the way Nick Offerman can do. This time around it’s called simply, You Better Vote. 

This follows his previous offering Proud To Be A Kamala Man. 

Nick and I tackled Robert Schenkkan’s theatrical opus The Kentucky Cycle years ago before his career took off like lighting in a bottle as Ron Swanson in Parks and Recreation. One late night (there were many) over a pool table, Nick described the two-part 6 and 1/2 hour production as not a play, but a way of life. There are stories. 

You Better Vote will make you laugh. And make you look at your grandkids a bit differently. Enjoy it. And Vote Damnit!

Nick Offerman Sings Proud To Be A Kamala Man in Hysterical Parody

Nick Offerman sings Proud To Be A Kamala Man as only Nick can.

My old buddy and iconoclastic actor Nick Offerman took to the Comics for Kamala gathering online last night and unveiled his parody rendition of Proud to Be an American, rechristened as Proud To Be A Kamala Man. 

Nick and I tackled Robert Schenkkan’s opus The Kentucky Cycle years ago before his career took off like lighting in a bottle as Ron Swanson in Parks and Recreation. One late night (there were many) over a pool table, Nick described the two-part 6 and 1/2 hour production as not a play, but a way of life. There are stories. 

But back to the video, here’s a taste of the lyrics:

“I’m proud to be a Kamala man, who has quit the GOP, because I can’t just abide by a man who’s tried for 34 felonies. And I’ll proudly stand up and face the facts that the men that I once cheered are a bunch of wingnut white nationalists … Well, those guys are fucking weird.”

Sung from the perspective of a MAGAt who’s changed his stripes the rest is just as fun, with a few exceptions for scansion issues. Check it out yourself.
