The comedian shared his first parody music video since Trump's election to mock the president-elect's bizarre and alarming picks for his administration in a new Annie-inspired video called "I Think I'm Gonna Hate It Here."

Political satirist and YouTube star Randy Rainbow is at it again in his first video since President-elect Donald Trump won November's election.

This time, Rainbow—who's made his name off of musical parodies—used the hit Broadway musical Annie to make his point, turning the classic song “I Think I’m Gonna Like It Here” into “I Think I’m Gonna Hate It Here,” which mocks not only Trump but his array of controversial and unqualified Cabinet picks.


Rainbow sings the following as Annie:

“Lift your chin, don’t give in, to your stress and strife / Dry your tears, it’s just four years / Oh my God, f**k my life."
"Make way for Donald’s new regime, here comes a clown car of a team / That’s built on chaos, crime, incompetence, revenge and fear / I love the USA, I’ll never go away /"
"But girl I’m gonna hate it here!”

Switching seamlessly between the roles of Daddy Warbucks and little orphan Annie, Rainbow frequently chimes in with his own commentary on each figure he references, including Trump:

“Oh boy, a convicted felon? / You gotta be f**king kidding."

Of Lee Zeldin—Trump's nominee for Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)—Rainbow sings:

"Lee Zeldin will keep your water clear / A climate denier heading the EPA? / Cool!"

Of anti-vaxxer Robert F. Kennedy Jr.—the potential Health and Human Services (HHS) leader who news outlets recently reported wants to revoke approval of the polio vaccine—he mocks:

"The brain worm anti-vaxxer? / We'll all be dead by March!"

And of former Representative Tulsi Gabbard, Trump's nominee for national intelligence director, Rainbow sings:

"And what about our national intelligence? / Tulsi will handle Vladimir / Oh good, a Russian asset! / Was Ethel Rosenberg not available?"

Of course that's just scratching the surface and you can see the rest in the video below.

People loved it.

The video differs significantly from a video Rainbow released just before the election that skewers Trump but raises concerns about why the race was polling so closely.

The spoof, titled "MAGADU," in which he channels the late singer and actor Olivia Newton John's role in Xanadu, also targets other key GOP figures, including Vice President-elect J.D. Vance, Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, and MAGA celebrities Hulk Hogan and Roseanne Barr.

It includes the following declaration Rainbow makes during a mock interview with Trump:

"I can't sleep nights. I keep imagining the dark, hate-filled, Orwellian, deep-fried, comb-over, fever dream hellscape this country will become if your crazy ass wins!”

It's still funny—but there's no doubt it's going to be a rocky next four years.

Erin Brockovich Perfectly Lays Out Why AI Data Centers Are 'Pushing People Too Far' In Viral Clip

Self-described "people advocate"—a term she prefers over environmental activist or consumer advocate—Erin Brockovich recently sat down with comedian Theo Von on his podcast This Past Weekend. They spoke about her now adult children, the court case and resulting film that made Brockovich a household name, and what she's done since.

About a third of the way into the hour and a half long sit down, Von noted that what made him want to connect with Brockovich was an article she wrote for her Substack, The Brockovich Report, titled, "If Data Centers Are So Great, Why Are They Being Built in Secret?" which launched her mapping initiative posted on the website Brockovich AI Data Center Reporting.

Gay Conservative German Politician Resigns After Welcoming Child Via Surrogacy Despite Publicly Opposing It

German conservative Jens Spahn resigned from his position as the leader of the joint CDU/CSU (Union) parliamentary group in the 21st Bundestag after it emerged he and his husband welcomed a child via surrogacy despite openly opposing it.

Per the 1990 Embryo Protection Act, surrogacy remains illegal in Germany, a position long supported by the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), which reaffirmed its opposition earlier this year. While German law allows parents to raise children born through surrogacy abroad, arranging a surrogate within Germany is punishable by up to three years in prison or a fine.
