Incidentally, typing "Randy Newman political science" into Google in order to find the track also throws up this bit of #AISlop. #FFS #LetsDropTheBigOne
Screenshot of Google search for "Randy Newman political science" indicating the YouTube track and below it, AI-generated text, some of which is correct... Randy Newman was inspired to write "Political Science" after seeing images of Vladimir Putin riding a horse shirtless. He wondered, "He's the richest man, the most powerful. What's he want? ... I think he also wants to be Tom Cruise." Newman wrote "I'm Dreaming of a White President" in response to the birther movement, with lyrics like "I'm dreaming of a white President. Just like the ones we've always had." "Political Science," a satirical take on US foreign policy, imagines bombing every country except Australia ("don't want to hurt no kangaroo"). Newman's "Roll With The Punches" lyrics ("They say you got to feed the hungry... I say we ain't gotta do nothin' for nobody") have been compared to the 2015 Conservative Party Manifesto.
