Bankers’ Song – We Didn’t See It Comin
“How Wall Street Made The Crisis Worse” by NPR’s Planet Money in collaboration with ProPublica: n.pr This song, fondly entitled “We Didn’t See It Comin”, by The Gregory Brothers with some help from various titans of finance, not to mention the FCIC, scrutinizing in the key of B minor.

Some of the activities we undertook .. contributed to the prevailing mood at the time. So did you know right then it would all come crashing in, that something funky was cookin? We didn’t know it then, or even today, when it actually crossed over into bubble territory. So you didn’t see it coming, you didn’t see it coming, well didya see it coming, did anybody see it coming? No one involved in the housing system foresaw a dramatic and rapid depreciation of home prices. No one? Lenders, Nobody? rating agencies, Anybody? investors, Somebody? insurers, consumers, regulators and policymakers. So you never saw it coming at all? And then when you look back, you always look back, and you look back, and you say well, these were warning signs. And then when you look back, you always look back, and you look back, (hindsight!) and you say well, these were warning signs.

I feel like I’m playing vice city, but not killing anybody or stealing cars, just listening to the radio station

What’s the name of the guy singing in the beginning? His facial expressions are my favorite right at the end…then whomever plays the drug-addict guy with the spikey wig is my favorite also….for the same reason, the body language, NOT because the character is on drugs.

Because he actually makes songs (well others wright them) as these guys use a program to make anything sound good. All though these guys are funny.

@gimmy1ify pa. shaw. these guys do make a lot of money. most of their songs are hit singles on itunes and I assume they probably get some money from youtube (even though i haven’t seen any ads on the vids.) besides, the Bebes is gonna need that cash for his anti-puberty medication.

Comment by Plausiblesarge on 4 February 2011:
because the music industry is completely fucked and based on popularity, rather than skill. Its why? everyone should pirate everything, since they dont deserve the trillions they pull in per year
Comment by MegaClues on 4 February 2011:
It’s funny to see his facial expression change when he pulls out the tamborine.

Anyone can make money, and fame is pretty useless.

@gimmy1ify It will all come back to Bieber’s face one day, soon enough, like that t-shirt wrapped with candy he got in the face before. Just look at Aaron Carter, now he’s a grown-up and going to rehab.
