Wall Street Inferno

edited November 2007 in The Economy
This is a bit out of character for me, really it's more like the kind of thing you'd expect to see on Housing Panic, but with my love of parody songs, I just couldn't resist.

I give you: Wall Street Inferno
Financial fires, yes! One hundred stories high.
The ARMs gettin' loose - big mortgage payments comin' due - Do you hear?
Banks implodin' - out of control.
It was so entertainin' - when the bubble started to explode.
I heard somebody say:

Burn baby burn! - Housing inferno!
Burn baby burn! - Burn that bubble down.
Burn baby burn! - Housing inferno!
Burn baby burn! - Burn that bubble down.
Burnin'!

Satisfaction came in the chain reaction.
I couldn't get enough, watching housing self destruct.
Subprime heat was on, rising to the top, huh!
All the bulls were goin' strong,
When suddenly the mortgages flopped.
I heard somebody say:

Burn baby burn! - Wall Street inferno!
Burn baby burn! - Burn that market down.
Burn baby burn! - Wall Street inferno!
Burn baby burn! - Burn that market down.
Burnin'!

Yelling off his head; I see Cramer on the air.
That makes me know; there's a meltdown somewhere...

It just can't stop,
When the bubble gets popped.
Just can't stop,
When the bubble gets popped.

Burning, burning, burning, burning...

  • The classics never go out of style. I salute you, sir!
  • With Keith out of town I'm going through withdrawal without my daily dose of shadenfruede. I also miss DOPES. I'm sure if he could comment he'd say:

    HA!

    S&P 500 FINISHES UP TODAY.

    SOME CRASH.

    DOPES!
