LYRICS:

They say you're tapping all the phones
They say you use too many drones
That's what people say, Mm-mm
That's what people say, Mm-mm

They say you gave the cartels guns
That terrorists ain't on the run
That's what people say
and they got groped at TSA

But I keep trying
Can't stop won't stop lying
It's like we're just denying
the reality saying it's gonna be alright

Because the vets are gonna wait
and the hard drives gonna break
baby we're just gonna shake
shake it off, shake it off

When things don't go away
we're gonna blame it on a tape
baby we're just gonna shake
shake it off, shake it off

They say that nothing is secure
That you don't know the cure
I assure you that ain't right
this dude just came in with a knife

See we keep trying
Can't stop won't stop lying
It's like we're just denying
the reality saying it's gonna be alright

Cuz the vets are gonna wait
and the hard drives gonna break
baby we're just gonna shake
shake it off, shake it off

Your emails are getting saved
and your junk is on display
baby we're just gonna shake
shake it off, shake it off

AP phone records we take
our opponents gonna pay
baby we're just gonna shake
shake it off, shake it off

Laws we're gonna break
concern we're gonna fake
then it's off to a fundraiser to
shake it off, shake it off

I'm sorry, what?

[Sunken Idaho]

Taylor Swift has an uncanny ability of creating really shitty music.

[Merrill Hess]

Actually it was composed by Swift, Max Martin, and Shellback.

Yes, it took three people to put together that insipid piece of crap.

[Anonymous Coward]

Has Taylor Swift finally stopped pretending she's a country music singer?

[John Titor]

I can't remember who said it, but someone on Swift's breakup music: "She really needs to be honest with herself at some point in time and release a song called "Maybe I'm the Problem."

[Francisco d'Anconia]

DON'T TALK SHIT ABOUT TAYLOR SWIFT!

[HazelMeade]

LEAVE TAYLOR ALONE!!!!!

[HazelMeade]

I'm pretty sure this song is only popular because people think it's about Twerking.

[Fist of Etiquette]

I don't know the song this is apparently based on but Remy's done it again!

[AlmightyJB]

I don't know any Taylor Swift songs either. Don't really follow pop as most of it is horrible. Saw some Iggy Azalea chick on SNL last night. Zero talent.

[Misanthrope]

In a sane world, Barry would watch one or two Remy videos, resign, and beg forgiveness of The American People.

[Merrill Hess]

In a sane world, Remy would have nothing to parody, and would spend his life performing on NYC subway platforms, dodging transit cops. He profits from the derpitude of others.

[The Late P Brooks]

Obama doesn't have to shake it off. There is a line of people eager to lick those last few drops off his knob.

[Hyperion]

This guy is a lot funnier than Colbert. But he doesn't fit the narrative so no one knows who he is. If he was very popular, he would probably be being stalked by the CIA and there would be a drone with his name on it.

[Palin's Buttplug]

Colbert is parodying guys like you so it is little surprise that you don't get him.

[Hyperion]

It's not that I don't get him, it's that he's not that funny.

Sorry that you are so butthurt over Remy making fun of your master. Man up, you fucking pussy.

[Merrill Hess]

It's hard to be funny parodying people who have no power, and haven't had any real power for 6 years.

[Hyperion]

It's even harder to parody people who have never had any power. You see, Butt head the Proglodyte actually believes that all of us here are Republicans because he's left of Pol Pot.

[John Titor]

Colbert's meant to be a parody of Bill O'Reilly, if you honestly think that the weirdos and stoners on this site support a control freak drug warrior you're either mentally handicapped or unbalanced.

[Merrill Hess]

It's going to be interesting to see how Colbert does in his new gig as a non-parody comedy talk show host. The guy's never been successful doing any type of comedy other than parody, even going back to his Daily Show days. My guess is he falls flat on his face attempting ordinary comedy, and possibly attempts to go back to the fake Colbert persona (which won't work in his new gig).

[AlmightyJB]

Remy's the man!

[HazelMeade]

I hate that fucking song. Please stop playing it, referencing it, or reminding me of it's existence in any way.
