With some updated lyrics, Spaghetti and Meyer expresses equal contempt for the current political climate. \u201cIt always kinda bothered me that he mentions some odd people as if he didn\u2019t like them,\u201d laughs Spaghetti. \u201cJoe Piscopo? What did he do other than stop being funny? And why call out Eddie Murphy? I just didn\u2019t get it, so I just namedropped some more current and decidedly more despicable people and things and&#8230; here you go.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meyer elaborates the lyrical change a bit more: \u201cPetty\u2019s original version calls out celebrities and&nbsp;phony&nbsp;politicians from the 80&#8217;s.
