The Lyrics
Appearing on The Today Show, environmental activist and unsuccessful media mogul Al Gore defended his sale of Current T.V. to Al-Jazeera, the Middle Eastern communications conglomerate based in the oil state of Qatar. He twice ducked host Matt Lauer's questions about the appearance of hypocrisy when such a famous opponent of fossil fuels seals a lucrative deal with oil producers. Gore merely said that he understood the criticism, disagreed with it, and then praised Al-Jazeera as a superior brand of news organization whose coverage of climate issues is "far more extensive and high-quality" than in Western media. Aside from the unmentioned concerns about Al-Jazeera's anti-American and pro-jihadist slant, Gore's lack of concern about taking money from fossil fuel magnates is utterly confounding. I wish I could compartmentalize as easily as he can. BTW, The Andrews Sisters version of this original song uses the rarely heard verse. ;D
There's a Nobel Laureate who's green as green can be.
He tells us that fossil fuels have caused the rising sea.
Now he's done something astounding.
It's too weird to contemplate.
He's sold his T.V. network to an Arab petro-state.
Al's Jazeera - Sold the sheiks his Current T.V.
Al's Jazeera - This seems like hypocrisy.
Gore likes their jihadist news - says it lines up with his views.
Al's Jazeera - What a madcap green mystery!
(Instrumental chorus)
Gore proclaims that climate change is all a man-made ill.
Then he deals with Arab oil and rakes in fifty mill.
He decries all global warming
And weeps for each polar bear.
He'll fly off in his private jet and never give a care.
Al's Jazeera - Watch him kick big oil in the butt.
Al's Jazeera - Still he takes himself a cut.
He scolds us - Don't reprimand!
Arab news is one green brand.
Al's Jazeera - He's a green dream bubble-ing
Dealing double-ing
Conscience trouble-ing
Nut!
Check out some of the diverse recordings of Barney Google on Youtube. There is even an Edison disc. ;D

Of course, an "anti-American and pro-jihadist slant" is also known as "typical fare at Current TV" I should point out...
Al turned out to be a big fat disappointment.
