CREDITS
I’m The President written by: Louis Cole and Genevieve Artadi
LYRICS
Yeah the evil is way too deep
The murderers lose no sleep
Supreme Court no sour cream
All I'm vetoing all your shit
Ignoring those deep state bitch
There's only one party this
Hey this time we're gonna be all right
I won't mess it up
Hey this time it's gonna be real nice
Nice for everyone
I'm the president yeah
You all voted here I am
I'm the president I love you
Who's the president me
Landslide fucking victory
I'm the president I love you
Yeah Mount Rushymore has some tits
I heard you been talking shit
Let's see where that airstrike hits
Still, still learning these nukey codes
Ignoring those deep state chodes
My TR-3B flies low
Hey this time we're gonna be all right
I won't mess it up
Hey this time it's gonna be real nice
Orange you glad I won?
I'm the president yeah
You all voted here I am
I'm the president I love you
Who's the president me
Landslide fucking victory
I'm the president I love you
I'm the president yeah
You all voted here I am
I'm the president I love you
Who's the president me
Landslide fucking Genevieve
I'm the president I love you

    @@LeonDerczynski Right? Any sane drummer with stakes that high... that many performers on the line... would have slapped on a double pedal and been done with it. No one would have noticed the difference. But Louis Cole is no sane drummer. He throws in an insanely difficult kick fill that sticks out like a sore thumb when no other instrument is playing. That takes balls of steel and insane chops. I don't think 99% of people realize the madness of what he's doing there. As huster3of4 says... it's just insanity.

    Oh boy. You know when it's a KNOWER vid in this style, there's gonna be random shit all over the video. Here are all the easter eggs / video edits I caught (please, feel free to add anything I missed): Midi Keyboard Amazon Page - 0:22 BUGLES - 0:31 A rat underneath the drum throne - 0:32 Sam Wilkes wears an earpiece - 0:38 Flutes turn to missiles - 0:44 Overdub in the corner changes to "ETC." - 0:51 Drum fill of the year - 1:01 She's the president and presidents get mics, duh - 1:03 TUBA FLAMETHROWER - 1:14 Sneaky clapping hands in the bottom right corner - 1:21 Not hidden at all, but Genevieve becomes Mt. Rushmore - 1:23 Also not hidden but I couldn't not remark on the missile strike - 1:28 Lewd imagery censored on the computer - 1:34 TR-3B in the top left corner (thanks Patrick Andersen for the correction) - 1:36 B section text flash - 1:40 Scream face behind the door - 1:48 Podium and ASL interpreter - 1:59 tuba lets off some steam - 2:04 jacob mann takes a smoke break - 2:11, and still at 2:15 genevieve is one of the great presidents - 2:38 she then frowns in the frame - 2:40 a bird nests on the high tom - 3:24 the fart loading tshirt goes up a percent - 3:50

    This one shares a lot of similarity to 'Don't Care', sounds, basslines, textures etc. Particularly the verse at 1:40. Very intentional. Also the little horn riff at 2:33 is exactly the same as the one in 'When You're Ugly'. Louis tends to re-use little licks, chord patterns and note choices across many of this songs to create his distinctive sound.
