"Blame It (On the Economy)" is parody of "Blame It (On the Alcohol)" by Jamie Foxx. The video, created by Totally Sketch, features a Barack Obama impersonator, Iman Crosson (aka Alphacat) and Michelle Obama look-a-like, Vernetta Jenkins, singing "Blame It," a satirical R&B song about the economy.
Partial Lyrics
"Blame it on the e-e-e-e- economy...Hey! Our country is flat broke, this is no joke. And now people want it fixed, but it is just not that easy. I ain't saying what I can't do, but let's be clear 'bout what I can do. I can tell you to be careful when you fe-fii-i-i-n-n-nance now! Now the bank's sinkin, stock market's stinkin' All you gots a Lincoln, thinking, you wish you could just hit a button and press rewind, to just a year ago and you'd be just fine. Bill keep comin' up, like The Jeffersons. What? You gotsa care now, cause you were unaware how hurt you were by the economy."
Chorus
"Blame it on the news, tax payer blues...Blame it on the loans, now ya home's gone. Blame it on the e-e-e-e- economy. Blame it on Bush, blame it on Cheney, I'm not pointing blame, well, ok maybe!"
