Liner notes
In these stressful economic times, we all could use some humor to lighten up our day.
We remember that famous statement told to Joe, The Plumber, by Barack Obama in 2008,
"I believe it’s good for everyone when we SPREAD THE WEALTH around”.
I was inspired by his statement and wrote and recorded two versions, found a recording artist in Las Vegas to record a third version, and then set up a SPREAD THE WEALTH STRUT CONTEST with videos all over the internet: http://www.SpreadTheWealthUSA.info
This is the first version of the song.
I had been receiving e-mails from banks and individuals in Nigeria saying that I was selected to receive someone’s “family valuables”. I thought that I should mention these fantastic opportunities within the lyrics of my song.
This was great. Potential stimulus package donors were sitting in internet cafés, and
wanting to help out us Americans to “spread the wealth”, were e-mailing me their economic recovery opportunities.
Paris Hilton decided she wanted to help out the President by her high-value shopping sprees. What a great contribution by a private citizen.
She enters the scene in this video parody:

Fox News commentator, Glenn Beck also joins in the fun:

SPREAD THE WEALTH
(Version 1)
Words and Music by
Jimmie Vestal
Help out Obama to spread the wealth
It’s good for the economy
And it’s good for our health
Millions of dollars here
Millions of dollars there
Bailout money has plenty of flare.
(CHORUS):
Spread the wealth, spread that money
Spread the wealth, it’s sweet as honey.
I got a e-mail from Sheriff Kagame
He’s not The Lone Ranger and I’m not Kemo Sabe
What we both know, and it’s good for our health
Is to use those millions to spread the wealth.
REPEAT CHORUS
Sheriff Kagame has much wealth to spread
He might be in Nigeria and in the red
Marshall Hawkins wants to have some fun
By leading the sheriff into Area 51.
REPEAT CHORUS
Crop duster planes are dropping the cash
At Area 51 and then heading out fast
Spreading the wealth and helping poor folks
And the scam baiters go along with the joke.
REPEAT CHORUS
Wealth spreading everywhere helps the economy
Makes us independent with some autonomy
People in Nigeria with financial health
Send money to America and help spread the wealth.
REPEAT CHORUS
When checking e-mails beware of scams
Don’t sent them any money or you’ll be in a jam
Your bank account numbers
Should not be given out
If you do that you’ll have a money drought.
REPEAT CHORUS
Spread the wealth – oooh, spread that wealth
Spread the wealth, spread that wealth.
Spread the wealth, spread that money
Spread the wealth, it’s sweet as honey.
Come on, now, let’s spread some wealth, hey
Spread out some of that money out there
Spread the wealth, it’s sweet as honey.
Come on, now, spread the wealth
Help Obama here
Hey, spread that money, yeah
Oooh we.
