Video: Randy Rainbow Parodies Billie Eilish & BARBIE With 'Not What They're Paid For'
The video kicks off with Rainbow interviewing U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, who he describes as "the human embodiment of a beer can helmet."
Randy Rainbow is back with a new parody video, this time using Billie Eilish's Barbie song to take aim at the current state of the country. In his new video, "Not What They Paid For," the comedian uses "What Was I Made For" to create "Not What They're Paid For."
The video kicks off with Rainbow interviewing U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, who he describes as "the human embodiment of a beer can helmet," before throwing shade at Trump, J.D. Vance, Lindsey Graham, and more.
The new parody video – which follows the recent Taylor Swift parody, "The Fate of Melanie" – comes in the long line of political music videos from Rainbow, also including Wicked-themed "Defy Democracy" and Sabrina Carpenter parody "Fees, Fees, Fees". The videos are also created with Michael J Moritz Jr and Brett Boles. The song also features Tom Jorgensen on drums.
