  • Mr. Beat does a parody of Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe" about the Red Scare. Joe McCarthy would be so proud.
    Original idea by Joseph Caiharr. Special thanks to Steven Beat, Tyler Griffith, and Mya Hurley for helping to create the music video.
    All images found in the public domain. Produced by and performed by Matt Beat.
    Lyrics:
    World War One is over now
    Bolshevik Revolution
    Communism spreading now
    All thanks to Karl Marx
    The proletariat rise
    They’ve banned private property
    Back in the United States
    Most really don’t like this
    Their fear was rising
    Panic
    All around them
    Red Scare
    I can’t trust you
    Where you think you’re going baby?
    Hey I just met you
    And this is crazy
    But I think you are
    A Commie maybe
    You look suspicious
    And a little lazy
    I will report you
    to the government maybe
    Hey I just met you
    And this is crazy
    But I think you are
    A Commie maybe
    And all the other Reds
    Aren’t American
    I will report you
    to the government maybe
    World War Two is over now
    Soviet Union China
    Like dominoes they all fall
    U.S. is in their way
    McCarthy pointing fingers
    At first we believe him
    Hollywood Ten blacklisted
    They’re Un-American
    They’re pointing fingers
    They have
    No evidence
    Witch hunt
    HUAC
    Are you some kind of spy baby?
    Hey I just met you
    And this is crazy
    But I think you are
    A Commie maybe
    You look suspicious
    And a little lazy
    I will report you
    to the government maybe
    Hey I just met you
    And this is crazy
    But I think you are
    A Commie maybe
    And all the other Reds
    Aren’t American
    I will report you
    to the government maybe
    Before you came into my life
    I mistrusted you
    I didn’t like you
    I knew you were shady
    Before you came into my life
    I mistrusted you
    I didn’t like you
    I knew you were shady
    It’s hard to trust you
    You don’t conform
    So I think you are
    A Commie maybe
    You look suspicious
    And a little lazy
    I will report you
    to the government maybe
    And all the other Reds
    Aren’t American
    I will report you
    to the government maybe
    Before you came into my life
    I mistrusted you
    I didn’t like you
    I knew you were shady
    Before you came into my life
    I mistrusted you
    I didn’t like you
    You’re a Commie maybe

    Even with the sheer amount of content on RUclips, I never imagined it would have a video that features a middle aged history teacher from Kansas peeping on another middle aged man performing various yard work, whom he tries to seduce.

    • @SoooooWhatt
      @SoooooWhatt 4 года назад +4

      Yes: the USSR was a form of socialism trying to be communist, hence why the state is a "Union of Soviet _Socialist_ Republics", but the Party is the _"Communist_ Party of the Soviet Union". However, the word "communism" is usually used to refer to the socialism that makes full communism, as opposed to the property-less communism itself. So, in one way, the Soviet Union was communist (as in "the Marxist socialism creating a property-free economy"), but in another way, it was merely socialist moving towards communism (as in "a property-free economy").

    • @SoooooWhatt
      @SoooooWhatt 4 года назад +2

      @@Gallalad1 As an American who likes thoroughly taught history, good idea! Not a lot of Americans talk about USA-backed dictators. As far as many Americans are concerned, the USA spent the whole Cold War liberating foreign countries from Red dictatorships. However, this narrative not only confuses political systems with economic systems (why some Americans think capitalism is always democracy, and socialism always not; also why there aren't too many American socialists, and even those who claim to be socialist are merely social democratic), but this narrative leaves out the fact that a lot of the American-backed regime change of the Cold War was from democracy to dictatorship, or dictatorship to dictatorship. Therefore, a song about USA-backed dictators would be an interesting listen.

      @@anonymous-cq7wj As one of _Kilory_ - _Minecraft's_ other (non-Minecraft) accounts, I would agree! In fact, I have been considering making a US history series of my own for a while. If I do such a series (on this channel), I will dedicate a full episode to analyzing US involvement in regime change during the Cold War to see whether it fits US history's own "Someone's gonna get liberated!" narrative! For instance, although South Vietnam was more democratic than North Vietnam (the "Democratic Republic of Vietnam") for most of it's 1955 to 1975 history, it was a military junta from 1963 to 1967. That sure doesn't make the Vietnam War any better than the already negative pop-culture image of the Vietnam War. Unfortunately for Hollywood, the same thing goes for more patriotic conflicts involving the US during the Cold War.
