Hey, remember the viral sensation that was Tay Zonday? Think back. Think back a little harder. There you go.
Turns out Tay Zonday is still around, and his songs are still terrible (but his production values have skyrocketed!). And yet! “Mama Economy” is probably the best thing the Internet star has ever posted to his YouTube account.
Why is this song so great? Maybe it’s because he didn’t bother rhyming the lyrics this time. Also, it doubles as a pretty good crash course in understanding the grim economic realities we’re facing—the song is surprisingly on-point. (En pointe?) And then there’s the “Serious Face” Tay Zonday makes at the end. Haha.
