Listen now!

During a speech to supporters this week, Senator George Allen called an Indian-American man "macaca"... twice. Macaca is a derogatory term for dark-skinned people in the part of the world that Allen's mother happens to have emigrated from.

Upon hearing those remarks Florida's premier progressive black dentist DJ, djezi, got busy remixing the Senator's remarks with that old Lion King standard, Hakuna Matata, written by that old standard, Elton John [hat tip to Wonkette for the pun].

Listen to the result above or watch it along with a PEEK produced video [click on Senator Allen's mug]...
