Of course these days, the news can feel,
well, let's face it overwhelming.
It's nice sometimes to mix it up
and have a little bit of fun
with things that are happening in the news.
That's why we have a very special guest who does just that.
This guy's been gently skewering politics for decades,
with his unique blend of light satire
and ragtime, piano music.
Your parents probably have some of his old records
like, Politics Phooey, and Hitting Below the Beltway.
Yeah.
This guy is great.
Please welcome, political song parodist, Tip Rivers.
[Tip] Oh!
(piano plays)
Hello, Conan!
It's great to see you again.
It's great to see anybody these days.
What a mess am I right?
I mean, don't get me started.
Okay. I won't.
Yeah, I know what you mean.
2020 has been a rough year,
which is why I'm excited to hear your satirical take
on the news through the power of piano music.
Well, I'll do my darn best.
How about a little diddy about the current occupant
of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue?
Oh boy.
Song about Trump.
Okay great, here we go.
Okay, here we go.
♪ Oh, Donald Trump is the president of the USA. ♪
♪ And when Joe Biden is in jail ♪
♪ In the White House, Trump will stay ♪
♪ With a fraud fraud here, and a steal steal there ♪
♪ We must find Biden's crimes ♪
♪ And lock him up till the end of time. ♪
♪ So Donald Trump stays president as God intended, so ♪
Don't get me started!
(Tip laughing)
Okay, I have to say, that's not the song I expected.
Oh, well you sound like me
when I found out that Biden won Georgia.
Not what I expected.
Are you kidding me?
Come on, the machines had to have flipped votes.
Okay Tip, your songs, in the old days,
they were more balanced and nuanced.
Are you getting all your news from like Fox and Newsmax?
What, those radical leftists supplicants?
No way!
If you want the real truth, you've gotta dig.
And that's why I get all my news now
from this great website called christiannewspatriot.truth.
Would you like to hear another?
Uh, you know, only if you can just tone it down a bit.
Okay?
You would like me to tone it down?
Shall I tone it down here?
♪ Or tone it all the way down here ♪
(Tip laughing)
That's just a little musical fun.
But I take your meaning.
Very little, yeah.
Oh, you'll like this one.
This one is long on laughs and light on politics.
[Conan] Great.
Here we go.
♪ It can't be debated, COVID's death rate is inflated ♪
♪ It's a big hoax ♪
♪ The vaccines were designed ♪
♪ To help Bill Gates control our minds. ♪
[Conan] No, hey hey hey.
Can you just not?
Please, don't sing songs like that, really.
Well. I was a little flat wasn't I?
Is that your objection?
It's been a little while
since I was allowed to perform publicly.
Let's try another, okay?
♪ Oh, Yankee Doodle went to town ♪
♪ And was murdered by Antifa. ♪
[Conan] No, no, no.
No, no, no, no, definitely not that one.
Well...
Tip, do you have any songs
that have absolutely nothing to do with politics at all?
Oh, absolutely.
Yes I do.
I have something for the normies
who haven't been red pilled yet.
Is that what you had in mind?
That's fine, how 'bout this?
A sweet little Christmas tune.
Ah, Christmas tune, here we go.
No problem at all.
♪ Ooh, we wish you a merry Christmas ♪
♪ We wish you a merry Christmas ♪
♪ And the CIA did 9/11 ♪
Don't get me started on that.
You want to tell me that jet fuel can melt steel?
Okay, Tip Rivers, everybody. Since when? Since When?
Thank you, Tip. Thank you. That's ridiculous!
Thank you Tip.
I have yet to hear a coherent explanation
of why building seven went down!
All right.
That was a controlled explosion!
We have a great show. You accept that, don't you?
Joe Manganiello's with us.
He's gonna to be joining us and uh...
[Tip] Joe Manganiello?
He was in on it!
Tip. Tip.
He was part of the whole thing!
He designed the holograms for the twin towers!
(rock music begins) No, it's not a hologram.
There's no way it could have been a hologram.
They keep suppressing the video.
