With the Democrats' landslide win of both the Senate and the House in the 2006 elections, it was only natural that it would be a prominent theme for the next Capitol Steps album. Mel Brooks' "Springtime for Hitler" (from The Producers) provides a perfect launching pad for the amusing "Springtime for Liberals" to introduce the complete, gloating cast playing Hillary Clinton, Al Gore, Nancy Pelosi, Barack Obama and the still unsavory Ted Kennedy...

Capitol Steps is an amazing group of singers specializing in hilarious parodies of songs old and new aimed at skewering the eccentricities of politicians from left to right. President Bill Clinton is lampooned for his idiotic trysts with White House intern Monica Lewinsky in "Livin' Libido Loco," a brilliant send up of Ricky Martin's huge Latin hit "Livin' la Vida Loca" that includes the exchange "I won't stand for sex! Standing is not required...

The musical comedy collective the Capitol Steps target the usual gang of politicians and world figures in this collection of 1992 parodies. Congress is, as usual, the bull's-eye of their parodies, with "Fools on the Hill" (borrowed from the Beatles' "Fool on the Hill") and the hilarious "Superfranticunproductivenothinglegislation" (with the melody borrowed from the musical Mary Poppins)...

The Capitol Steps are up to their usual antics, lampooning politicians and other names in the news during the mid-1990s, while even delving into inanimate objects and long dead famous folks. Unfortunately, their lyrics aren't up to speed on many of their song parodies; as a result, many of the tracks hardly deserve a second hearing...

With Bill Clinton taking over as president in 1993, he naturally became the center of attention for the latest collection of musical parodies by the witty collective known as the Capitol Steps. Mike Tilford, who sings as Clinton, is brilliant in the Elvis Presley-flavored "The Joy of Sax" and the low-key duet with Ann Schmitt (as the First Lady) in "I've Taken Stands on Both Sides Now," as well as the wild spoof "Secret Ozone Man." Schmitt is superb in "Why's Madonna Kissing Santa Claus...

With their 16th release of musical political parodies and sketches, the Capitol Steps skewer everyone in sight, including the various members of President Bill Clinton's administration, members of Congress, world leaders, and various celebrities. Their normal strong suit, the musical parodies are entertaining, though they are a bit briefer than usual and not as memorable...

The Capitol Steps, a musical political satire group, was still a fairly new concept at the time this LP was released in 1986. This live recording was made in what is evidently a nightclub (the Artist's Room in Washington, D.C.). The vocals are fairly good, while the accompaniment consists of just a single pianist, without the electric keyboards and expanded rhythm section added for later albums...

Capitol Steps, a group of former Capitol Hill staffers, are up to their usual hijinks with the hilarious musical parodies released in the midst of the 2008 primary campaign. "76 Unknowns" (based on "76 Trombones" lampoons the numerous presidential hopefuls whose campaigns quickly fell apart, while "Huckabee" is a hilarious sendup of "Let It Be," about the last G.O.P. presidential candidate to fight Senator John McCain for the nomination. President George W...
