Tracy Whatshite, Cadet Reporter, attended the “Bellies” (held at Bellamy’s) and found out who the winners were in this year’s competition for the Best Political Song of 2014. She spoke with the judge Frankie Stevens.
“Competition was particularly intense this year and the top entires included some old favourites, but also some surprizing new comers,” he said.
“Medleys were popular this year, although that is what we have come to expect from Peter Dunne. Bill English entered his perennial song, “There is no Depression in New Zealand”, but we felt it was a stale re-hash and lacked credibility so it wasn’t placed,” Steven’s added. “The Greens also re-entered their song “We are the Champions (of the Planet)”, but as it was last years winner, it was dis-allowed”.
“Of course, Best Newcomer went to Kim Dot Com, with “You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet (and Maybe there will be nothing to see). But the winner based on Carole Baker- Sayer’s hit “Your Moving Out Today”, was the stand out song,” said Stevens.
“Your Moving Out Today (and we are Throwing away the Shon Key)”, is a catchy tune with inspirational lyrics. We really think this song nailed it”, said Stevens,

YOUR MOVING OUT TODAY (AND WERE THROWING AWAY THE SHON KEY)
You traded money then became the PM
Voters stayed home and so you got in again,
May I remind you it has been six years since then en, en,
Last night the Sallies well the said to me (what did they say) ?
They said there’s been a rise in poverty (that’s what they said)
Perhaps you might enjoy a house in Hawaiiieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Pack up your Shonkey Smile, your dirty top draw file,
Your syncophantic press, your assets sales mess,
Pack your fat cats away, your chats with Cam away,
Your Cabinet rats away.
Your moving out today
Pack up your TPP,
Your greasing royalty,
Your spies from GCSB
Your dodgy cups of tea,
Your rise in G.S.T.
Your tax cuts for the rich,
The deals you like to stich……………
Your 90 day work trials,
Your Collins, Joyce and Ryall,
Please go a milion miles
Your moving out today
La, la la, la la la……….
