The best part of this parody for me is the fact that it has restored the orginal meaning of the Woodie Guthrie song’s chorus. It wasn’t meant as a patriotic song. These days, most people omit the last three stanzas, but they make it clear that when he was singing “this land is your land, this land is my land” he didn’t mean “this land is yours and mine” but he meant “you have broken up our shared land into what’s yours and what is mine.”
