Lefort-faves EL VY ((The National’s singer Matt Berninger and Brent Knopf of Menomena/Ramona Falls) has joined the anti-Trump 30 Days, 30 Songs campaign by contributing a great new song entitled Are These My Jets?  The campaign attempts to convey the thoughts curdling inside Donald Trump’s conceited cranium (his “moving staircase” per Are These My Jets?). Mixing stellar keys, strings, Spanish and a children’s choir, EL VY fittingly fantasizes the fantasies coursing through the Donald’s churlish hate-field. The lyrics are at bottom.

Berninger had this to say about the song: “This song isn’t specifically about Trump. There are delusional maniacs around every corner. Sadly, he won’t be the last. The song is about walrus penis jewelry, which is a real thing. Look it up. My sister, Rachel, was given some by a Canadian bush pilot when she worked for Alaska Airlines in the ’90s. With regard to the game [which you can play HERE], we called our colleagues, Sodman and Solimine, and said, ‘We’d like a cathartic interactive experience. We’d also like to shoot bluebirds and meat with a sniff blaster.’ They were like, ‘What for?’ and we were like ‘It’s time to start healing.'”

Check out the song/video below, and ferheavensake go vote.

Are These My Jets?:

“Bluebirds blow their brains out on my shoulders while I have long evenings with Steve and Roger.
Before I fall asleep I always talk to my father’s Lego skull.
Last night I had an American feeling up at the top of my moving staircase.
This is the place where I dream my dreams. This is the place where I dream my dreams.
I was rocking back and forth, feeding on the fear of course.
Wonder what I’m gonna do today.
Are these my jets? I like to mix ladies drinks with my fingers. Are these my jets?
Seems like everyday somebody from college comes by to tell me his life is in ruins.
I like to tell him my stories from college and how I was so lonely.
I was rocking back and forth, feeding on the fear of course. Wonder what I’m gonna do today.
Are these my jets? I like to mix ladies drinks with my fingers. Are these my jets?
Oh no, so sad. Oh no, so mad.
Walrus dick jewelry for everyone in America….
Are these my jets? I like to drink ladies drinks with my fingers. Are these my jets?
Are these my jets? I like to drink ladies drinks with my gingers. Are these my jets?
Oh no, so sad. Oh no, so mad.
Oh no, so sad. Oh no, so mad.
Esta es la joya que les prometi. La verga de la morsa….
(This is the jewel that was promised them. Walrus cock.)
Are these my jets? Walrus dick jewelry for everyone in America…”
