Boxcar Nancy's Trainwreck: “Look at that moon. It’s a new moon. All right, can you hear me now? I'll do the 'real people'!”

This Land is Earth, Lady; Come Visit Us Sometime

And bring Flop Sweat Chuck Schumer with you.  And some "real people", too--if you can rent some.

Opening Night Debacle. The Duran:

"The crowds could not hear anything, and so they resorted to singing “This Land Is Your Land”, and chanting “Lock him up!”
Pelosi at one point went totally off script talking about the “new moon.”
“Look at that moon. It’s a new moon. All right, can you hear me now?”
Then came Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s turn, when Pelosi asked “Fake Tears Schumer” to “introduce the real people.”
“Where are they?” Schumer asked, soon realizing the “real people” were not there.".......
Since nobody knew the words, let me help you guys out by refreshing your memory: Woody Guthrie's "This Land is Your Land", as performed by the famous '60's folk trio Sheila, Chuck & Nancy:

This land was your land, but now its our land
From California, to the New York Island
From the Redwood Forest, to the Gulf Stream Waters
This land belongs to EPA

It rained this morning and made a puddle
We were glad, you were befuddled
We confiscated your ditch so muddled
Your land belongs to EPA

As I went walking that ribbon of highway
The EPA said "Build it our way!"
I saw below me their golden river
This stretch was ruined by EPA

This land was your land, but now its our land
From California, to the New York Island
From the Redwood Forest, to the Gulf Stream Waters
This land belongs to EPA!

The Singing None-s
