Randy Rainbow sings 'Fees, Fees, Fees' for Wayback Wednesday

Happy Wayback Wednesday! I promised something fun today, and I have it. Watch and listen to Randy Rainbow sing Fees, Fees, Fees.

Parody of “Please, Please, Please” by Sabrina Carpenter, Amy Allen, and Jack Antonoff
I wrote, "As for Hoover Cleveland, I'm sure he'll have much more to say about him," last month and Randy delivered!

It turns out I haven't heard the original, which I listed among Espresso's GRAMMY nominations for Espresso Day, so I'm sharing Sabrina Carpenter - Please Please Please (Official Video).

Randy could have gone much darker, making his parody about crime as well as convicted criminal Donald "Hoover Cleveland" Trump's tariffs and stock market crash. As I wrote on Bluesky last month, "Elect a criminal, expect crimes."
Follow over the jump for a retrospective of the top posts featuring Randy during the 14th year of Crazy Eddie's Motie News.
