Video: Did Adele trash Newt Gingrich at the 2012 Grammy Awards?

 Did Adele trash Newt Gingrich at the 2012 Grammy Awards? No. But a video of Adele supposedly roasting Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich at Sunday night’s Grammys in a parody of her monster hit “Someone Like You” is creating a big buzz.

 

The clever video trashing Newt Gingrich was uploaded to YouTube Sunday evening and is being promoted as an outtake during a commercial break on Sunday night’s Grammy Awards. The following description is attached to the video:
 
NOT SEEN ON THE TV BROADCAST - During a commercial break at the 2012 Grammy Awards, pop singer Adele sings a new version of her Grammy-winning hit "Someone Like You" trashing Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich.

A savvy community member over at Al Gore’s Current TV claims “the video is a dub-over of her (Adele’s) 2011 performance at the Brit Awards of ‘Someone Like You’.”
 
The video pokes fun of Newt’s big head, his religious hypocrisy, his multiple wives, his proposal to make kids work as school janitors, and his plans for a moon base. A transcript of the lyrics trashing Newt and sung to the tune of “Someone Like You” follow:
 
I heard that you’d think it’s cool
If the poor kids mopped up the floors at school
I heard that your plan for debt decline
Is to get the U.S. a Tiffany’s credit line
Oh Newt, you’re so big on faith
But you’ve screwed around more
than Henry the Eighth

You say that you’re not a political insider
But you never left the web, you’re still a spider
When you left the House in shame,
we’d hoped you’d realize that
Newt for you, it should be over

Any guy besides someone like Newt
Ditched his first sick wife,
and then number two, too
Not an ethical shred in his oversized head
Please just quit politics,
and find some more girls to bed
Please just quit politics,
and find some more girls to bed

I know the Mormon’s the other guy
Funny that it’s you
who has juggled three wives
Now you want a base up in outer space
The only moon that you’ll see
is my ass in your face

If we compare your words to your acts
It’s you who avoids uncomfortable facts

Your hypocrisy could fund its own Super PAC
 
Adele won six Grammy awards Sunday night, including album of the year.
