Commenter Tony Petroski understands and enhances what I tried to say yesterday about Acting United States Attorney Joe Thompson in “The Thompson effect.” He has adapted the “Theme From Shaft,” by the one and only Isaac Hayes, to pay tribute to the man:
(Cue: Isaac Hayes and the theme song from “Shaft.”)
(four minute instrumental intro)Isaac: “Who’s the white dude, federal cop that gets all the chicks?”
Backing singers: “Shaft?”
Isaac: “No…Joe.
Who’s the cat that won’t cop out, when there’s danger all about?”Backing singers: “Shaft?”
Isaac: “No, it’s Joe.
Who is the man that would risk his neck for his fellow man?”Backing singers: “Shaft?”
Isaac: “Heck no.
They say this Joe is a bad mo…”Backing singers: “Shut your mouth.”
Isaac: “I’m only talking about Joe.”
Backing singers: “Well, we can dig it.”
Isaac: “He’s a complicated man, and no one understands him but the Commentariat.”
Backing Singers: “Thompson.”
(two more minutes of exit instrumental and then a soft violin landing)
Can someone do the right thing and get this done via AI for us?
