I agree with Oxblog, this unauthorized music video of Electric Six's disco-speedmetal lyrics dubbed into a Bush/Blair press conference is a must-see. The scenes where they appear to gaze longingly at each other are absolutely side-splitting. As an addtional dose of irony, Electric 6 actually pulled this single in April 2003 "because of the situation in Iraq".
P.S. Spread the hilarity - but be work-safe! Email your friends a Direct Link to this article, rather than a gaybetamax.com URL.
UPDATE: gaybetamax.co.uk does not seem to be functioning any more, and so access to the video is cut off.... but here's the video's new location (8.5 MB QuickTime version) as of July 2004!
There are no words to describe the brilliance that is "Gay Bar". It deserves to be all over television.
Oh my lord, this is too damn funny. And I'm a conservative dammit. :-)
Score! That's hilarious!
Brian: I share your views and sentiments- it just goes to show that the Right (for the most part) can laugh at itself (we know the Left is laughing just as hard) But could the Left laugh if the same joke was on a Democrat?
Phil, right now the left would be scurrying into court to have the video banned, the web server admin arrested, and to setup counseling for the victims.
For those who haven't seen this version...

Folks, if it was the Left, they'd laugh too. You could dub this into the recent Democratic Party primary debates, for instance, and it would be almost as hilarious. Or, you could just use Clinton. Bill or Hillary, wouldn't matter - but footage of Bill is probably easier to find.
And Dick... sorry, but the version w. Bush & Blair is wayyyy funnier.
Joe,
I agree and was surprised when others didn't. The Viking kittens version was the first I saw and thought it deserved mention.
cheers,
Dick
But could the Left laugh if the same joke was on a Democrat?
Oh, please. The joke's also on Tony Blair who just happens to be on the Left. Despite the more self-righteous, obnxious behavior of some on the Left, most of us have pretty good senses of humor. Could the same be said for the "Religious" "Right"?
gaybetamax.co.uk is down, but the video is also available here:

omfg :( why is the site off??? :'-( snif... I wanna watch it again :'( :'( but jea... shit happenz... :'(
Thanks for posting the link to the new location of this masterpiece, I'd despaired of ever seeing it.
One thing I would disagree with: "This video is too good to be lost to the Web (unless you are a Bushie) so here it is." No, this video is too good to be lost, especially if you are a Bushie like me. :D
