17 Jul 2011 “The Light Bulb Ban Song” – Music and Lyrics
Every grassroots effort needs a theme song, and the crusade to restore the public’s right to choose its own light bulbs is no exception.
Now the “ban the light bulb ban” crusade has its own “undo the light bulb ban” song, sung by Brian Wilson on radio station WMAL-AM 630 in Washington D.C.
Here’s the lyrics; here’s a link to a recording of the song sung by Brian Wilson.
To the music of the Beatles’ “I Want to Hold Your Hand”Hey you, what were you thinkin’?
It’s the law of the land
Hey you, deserve a spankin’, you passed the light bulb ban!
You made them contraband, you passed the light bulb ban.
Now I, I have fluorescent, the light is ghastly blue
I don’t think a light bulb, should be a curlicue
Undo the light bulb ban, undo the light bulb ban
My home has been like it’s like living in a cave,
I bet Tom Edison is spinning in his grave in his grave in his grave
So please, make a correction, and set the whole thing right
If not, they’ll be an election, we’ll help you see the light
Undo the light bulb ban
Undo the light bulb ban
Undo the light bulb ban
Kudos to Brian Wilson.
As to the ban itself, the state of play on Capitol Hill as of today, July 17, can be found here.
