Last night's Stossel episode on Fox Business didn't just include an appearance by Reason's Damon Root (video to come later today), it also included a snippet from internet sensation Remy's new Occupy Wall Street Protest Song, produced with Reason.tv. So for all the Stossel viewers looking for the full monty—and for the rest of us who need a smart laugh on a rainy-in-DC-Friday morning, here's the whole thing:

Lyrics to the "Occupy Wall Street Protest Song" Come gather round people come and join your hands we're taking Wall Street and we're making demands and we're heeding the call and we're crying for help only 1% of us have wealth but first we need posters we need to make signs but to do so it seems that we need some supplies We need poster board I can't make it myself but it's 10 cents a sheet at the store it's on sale an example of economies of scale it's so evil They're saying that freedom has done little to stop Corporations from keeping the wealth at the top But at what point in history would a kid and a king both have clean water to drink? George Washington was the richest man of his age But he lost all his teeth at a very young age Because they didn't have Scope and they all crapped in trays we're not wealthy? now there's fountains on streets from which clean water pours Four dollar generics at all big box stores a sultan and student both have iPhone 4s it's not fair Come gather young people come on everyone and I'll tell you a tale of a fortunate son He's born in a country and given vaccine and rendered immune to all kinds of disease the Kardashians are on all his TVs it's not perfect Banks don't need bailouts on that we agree so let's start up a group and let's take to the streets because if we do that then you know what that means we're racist.
