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
This isn't even a history song, this is actually how Mr. Beat greets his new neighbors.

What???
Roy& Jackobi Go Animate #LarryLawton #Popipa #JustMonika
this is frickin gold. Half of the views are from me.
Probably true
This is so good. You can tell that a lot of effort went in to this and it really paid off. Although now I have "you're a commie maybe" repeating in my head.
Aw thank you so much. Yeah, this darn song has been stuck in my head for two weeks. :)
XD
YO COGITO! I love your vids
it should be called "commie maybe"
I really love this parody. What I most admire of you is your unbiased position towards politics, displaying objectivity and neutrality. Greetings from Perú, Mr. Beat!
I love this channel more than most things in life
+Luis Davila Aw that means a lot :D
XD
LOVE... but "i think you are... a Commie maybe!"... jejejeje
Wow, this is already 6 years old?? I've fallen way out of the loop. lol
Next video - “Watergate” to the tune of Wonderwall by Oasis
"Joseph came up with the original idea..."
My mind: *Joseph Stalin*
*Mows lawn casually*
Mr. Beat: YOU LOOK SUSPICIOUS AND LITTLE LAZY
Great video please dont report me to the govorment
+jjona 21354 Oh I guess I won't ;)

My ELA teacher played this song for the class and now the whole school has the song stuck in their heads.
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.
Thank god it does.
What did you do to that Soviet flag (nice video btw)
You should do presidential elections in each state and how much the winning candidate won in the state.
Like in 2000 Al Gore won Washington DC with 80% of the votes
This is a fire beat and the words work so well. It was also made 5 years after the song came out
Red scare broke so many brains, we'll never recover
If I become a social studies teacher, I might show this to my students when we learn about the Cold War
DO IT. I mean become a social studies teacher! Well I guess you could play this for your students, too. :)

my brother was awesome in this video
I'm so desperate to find a new way to retain info for my history class that this is what my life has come to. Not saying I didn't enjoy it though :)
After awhile, this starts to grow on you. This probably is one my favorite youtubers.
Silly mccarthy
Communism is for Commies
THIS IS SO UNDERRATED
I SING THIS IN THE SHOWER
Do a Supreme Court breifs on Al Gore vs George W Bush
I think Al Gore should have won
That one is on my list and I will eventually get to it :)
Wasn’t the ussr socialist not communist yet it was trying to be communist
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").
i cant believe my teacher made me see this lmao
3 years later, what do you think?
I know this about America....
but could you do one like about Pinochet?
Interesting suggestion. I will consider it...
Like you could expand it to talk about all Right Wing dictators the US propped up and have the Soviet Union with their communist dictators to the tune of "anything you can do I can do better"!
@@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.

@@SoooooWhatt ^this! literally every american needs to hear this
@@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.
yes, i am a communist : 3

Привет Товарищ !!!
This is what I live for
searched this expecting a good 20 minute watch and i dont know whether seeing this as the only content on the red scare is impressive or disappointing
I have this on loop because funny
When McCarthyists describe Capitalism, they describe Capitalism in fantasy.
When McCarthyists describe Socialism, they describe Capitalism in reality.
Is this a school project or is it just a project you did for fun
He’s a teacher so probably just for fun
Could you do a in depth on the Korean War and how the U.S. Shaped South Korean political system. I’ve seen a lot of stuff saying the U.S. backed a far right conservative who suppressed progressive etc...... Been watching your channel for a while and this video caught be surprise😊 Love from Iowa🇺🇸
And Lenin*

Better than the original
You almost made McCarthyism sound cool. But seriously, great political satire.
Why am I only hearing about this in February 2021? I am definitely late to the good things in life
I love how the verses don't rhyme.
I love your need for attention
I love this :D
my guy unironically has some potential as a singer
