Congress heard Monday that Lehman Brothers,
days away from becoming the largest
bankruptcy in U.S. history, was pleading for
a U.S. rescue on one hand while steering

on the other. (Oct. 6) Tags :lehmancongressopenshearingsonfinancialmeltdown
While promoting "History of Violence" at the

This video was inspired by the bizarre
sequence of events on the Street in 2007. The
use of Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start the
Fire" came from a hilarious internet parody
song "Here Comes Another Bubble" by the
Richter Scales (available on YouTube). They
did such a good job, I thought Wall Streeters
everywhere deserved a parody of their own.
This version does not have anywhere near the
same sophisticated flash software but here it
goes.
The video was produced for non-commercial
amusement purposes only and is not intended
to offend any people, companies or countries
appearing in the video. Tags :wallstreetmeltdownsubprimecrisisparodybubblerichterscales
This is the song Meltdown by Missy Elliot.
Since my pc was slow I could only put the
video of "Teary Eyed" on it. But I still hope
you like it. If you don't like the video you
can listen to the music. This song is from
the album "The Cookbook" Tags :MeltdownMissyElliottthecookbook
