![Kellyanne Conway-America’s Ex-Wife [music video]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/UTzUL1bk4fk/mqdefault.jpg "Kellyanne Conway-America’s Ex-Wife [music video]
Argumentative, combative, never admitting mistakes and always blaming other people. Its not just your ex-wife, its Kellyanne Conway, and counselor to President Trump. We here at RobPRocks wrote a song just for her!
Lyrics:
I cringe every time
I see her on Meet The Press
Cause she’s not there to make a point
she’s there to make a mess
She clouds the truth so skillfully
the devil is impressed
She’s America’s ex-wife, Kellyanne
She’ll spew out so many words
you can’t see through the smoke
She’ll say things so ridiculous
you’ll think that it’s a joke
If time is money she’ll keep talking
until you go broke
She’s America’s ex-wife, Kellyanne
She’s America’s Ex-Wife, conflict is her life
Not letting you speak is her whole plan
She doesn’t care what’s true
she’s just here to screw with you
She’s America’s Ex-Wife, Kellyanne
Any point you try to make
is answered with a scoff
She’ll call you an elitist
as she holds her nose aloft
She’s not trying to win
she’s just trying to piss you off
She’s America’s Ex-Wife, Kellyanne
She’s America’s Ex-Wife, she’s always sowing strife
She’ll cloud the issues any way she can
She lies just because she loves to kill your buzz
She’s America’s Ex-Wife, Kellyanne
She can make crazy sound believable
She’ll turn all her lies around on you
She views the whole world as deceivable
She’s living a lie and she wants you to live it too
She’s America’s Ex-Wife, She takes such delight
In starting fights wherever she can
She will lie, deflect, and scold
she’ll give you s*** and say it’s gold
She’s America’s Ex-Wife
in your back she’ll stick a knife
She’s America’s Ex-Wife, Kellyanne")

You have to trust Montel Williams, he was on TV and TV never lies! So when he says a payday loan from an online lender is a good idea you can believe him. Right? People don’t just say things on TV because someone paid them to, do they?")

How does Star Wars Rogue One tie in with selling cars? Even the guy from Nissan doesnt know, but hes trying!
Weve all seen the ridiculous movie promotion tie-ins, I think Progressive Insurance even had some deal with a recent Star Trek movie. You know, because they have that policy that covers starships.
The music this week was fun and challenging because I was trying to get a John Williams-sounding orchestral feel but I only had one afternoon to accomplish the task. I think what I came up with works pretty well for this weeks 52 Sellout, and dont forget to wait for the woosh!")

A reworking of the American standard Dont Get Around Much Anymore, by Duke Ellington and Bob Russell, now about Americas health care system.
I even tried a solo! Sorry for the round-wound strings!
Guitar arrangement by Fred Sokolow
Lyrics:
Theyll push repeal through the house
With no debate on the floor
Theyll cut some deals in the back room
I wont have health care anymore
Some lousy out of state plan
Will be all I can afford
Therell be no doctors in network
I wont have health care anymore
Someday youll be
In the same boat as me
Youll be self-employed
In this gig economy
And then youll look for a plan
You wont find one like before
There never was a replacement
You wont have health care anymore
Solo
And then youll look for a plan
You wont find one like before
There never was a replacement
Our healthcare systems in the basement
You cant afford to be a patient
You dont have healthcare anymore")
