Every Breath You Take
Columbia Business School's Dean Glenn Hubbard sings about wanting Alan Greenspan's job that went instead to New Fed Chair Ben Bernanke. Parody created by Columbia Business School students.
Hahaha..you gotta love parodys! If Weird Al were dead he would be rollin in his grave. But he not so he probably rolling somewhere else. Any who, Great video, great message, great dream about punching Bernanke in the face, gotta love it.
He is such a good singer. I didn't really get the message because I was so distracted by his sweet dance moves. Why did they give Greenspan's job to Bernanke? I bet he can't sing and dance as well as this guy.
HAHHAHAHHA...that was a really well done parody... did the columbia students do that in their free time?..geez they must be bored at school. hahahah but that was one of my favorite songs..really well done!
That was incredibly random. I think Mr.Pye should break out into song and dance about inflation rates during class. It'd be great, haha. I think it was a good way of this fellow showing how he didn't agree with Bernanke,and I think it's much more light-hearted than a gossipy tabloid exploiting Bernanke's faults, so more power to the students of Columbia =).
That was pretty sweet. Id have to say the best line was "I dream at night that i punch you in the face". I think they should give him the job after seeing this.
haha that's pretty corny to say the least, so corny I couldn't help but to keep watching. Where do you find these things Mr. Pye?? Anyway, it was a pretty good parady. I wanna know who made up the lyrics so I can shake their hand. Also, I like how the one cigarrette at the beginning turns into 3 opened packs and an ashtray filled with used ones at the end. That can't be the least bit healthy.
That was inspirational! Whenever I want something, from now on I will sing and dance like this guy. I probably won't get what I want, but it will be very entertaining.
HAHAH.. that was entertaining.The dean really seemed to want Greenspan's job and despised Bernanke for getting it. What I don't understand is how he is the Dean of Columbia University and still has time to make a video, or was it just the students who created it? Overall, it was a pretty good parody.
Hahaha, that video was amazing. Someone had too much time on their hands! I think that anyone who puts forth the effort to make a wonderful video like that should get Greenspan's job!
I think his version was better than Stings. I also liked the backup voices. Very nicely put together. Was there a message in it? hahah probably so but i missed it..
Wow. This was a very comical yet immature way to be jealous of someone else. It was very funny how he was so serious about being angry that he didn't get the job. It was a great way to make a fun of the situation.
wow - such talent...I never thought I'd see someone like the dean of a university doing something like that! It was pretty funny (and very creative!), I must admit. I thought that he sounded pretty good,too.
the guy made me feel really uncomfortable during the close up shots, i had to look away,. i feel really bad for him, i know how he feels, kind of. i wish many good things for this man. the students at cbs must have a lot of fun with that guy. the version by sting makes me cry but when pdiddy does his version i get so sad . it reminds me of all the people that died in my hood. but anyways watching that video im gonna really WATCH this greenspan guy, like the video directed me to.
haha this video made my night :] it was entertaining yet slightly educational...and i even knew what he was sayin some of the time from what you taught us in class :] his dancing made me laugh and i wouldnt mind of pye did some lessons like this one i feel like i would really learn a lot more with a song and dance!
That was the weirdest video i have ever seen. My mouth is still open from watching it. I understand thewhole thing but whoa, and i agree with Mr.Pye doing the economics dance i would tape it and put it on youtube
Wow (the same reaction as so many more) that was incredibly funny. I really enjoyed watching it and reading the economic twists to the original lyrics. I wish all people could find ways like this, it really pulls in an audience. I couldn't help showing this to my dad and brother. Love the video! Rachel Wiley
First, I want to say that he sings really well! I find it hard to believe that he's the Dean of Columbia University, though. It was kind of immature how he approached things, but he entertained me a lot. The video was pretty amazing. I agree with Nina. I think Mr. Pye should break out in song, too!
Wow, I will say that that was not as interesting as the Conan video a few weeks ago. It's true that everyone is watching Bernanke. >_>

ReplyDeleteHaha, I love the Police so basically that was really funny! My favorite was the "hope your beard is fake" part hahaha
ReplyDeletethat is almost as good as the original. the black and white had a nice touch. But i have no quarrel with bernanke so i won't pick sides.
ReplyDeletehahaha..this was a great remake of a popular song from the past.
