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. Planet Money: www.npr.org ProPublica: www.propublica.org Follow us on your site of choice: www.youtube.com www.twitter.com www.facebook.com Lyrics: Were you pulling funny business while you were doing business, with everyone’s money on the line? 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. They’re not obvious at the time, they’re only obvious in hindsight (hindsight!). They’re not

    2. @gimmy1ify they are, they’re youtube partners and so they get money per view. like 25 cents per view or smth.

    3. Bieber is so famous because everyone is talking about him… wether they hate him or like him.. everybody is spreading his name around..

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

    5. 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.

    6. @gimmy1ify
      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.

    7. @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.

    8. @gimmy1ify because the G Brothers isnt pedophiles….

    9. @gimmy1ify

      Because big business loves exploiting youth: Bieber is much younger than the Gregory Brothers, who are all adults. If they were teenagers, they’d probably be millionaires.

    10. @VGamer48 have you the original?

    11. bed intruder was better

    12. @gimmy1ify One word. Canada.

    13. LOL!! The original song is by Winger??…

    15. Lol love it go gregs

    16. 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

    17. It’s funny to see his facial expression change when he pulls out the tamborine.

    23. @gimmy1ify

      Anyone can make money, and fame is pretty useless.

    24. I LOVE EVAN’S CHANGE OF MOOD FROM 0:56 to 1:01 XD

    25. @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.
