Bush Raps

Bush Raps is a presidential parody collaboration album released in 2004 from various artists all over the world, organized by the virtual band named The Bots. The band normally deals with computer-synthesized music, however, in this case, the band created a 15,000 word database created from speeches made by US. President George W. Bush to make an album. Using this, they made the parody song "Fuzzy Math". The song gained popularity and was later made into a music video. Reacting to the popularity of "Fuzzy Math", The Bots put the database on their site so it could be downloaded by others, and announced a contest in which they would give away software to the people who made the best songs. The response was overwhelming with over 60 entries received, all of which can be heard at the band's website. The Bots proceeded to put 20 of their favorite entries together along with "Fuzzy Math" on a CD which they named Bush Raps. They have since been selling the CD on their website to help cover the cost of webhosting, although everyone is still free to download the songs off of the website and are encouraged to make their own CD.

The sites for the individual artists are linked to at The Bots' site, although some of them are no longer up. Interestingly, song number 21, "The True Confessions of George W. Bush", does not use the contest database at all, and rather is composed of the actual artist singing along with the commercial clip, "My Name is George W. Bush and I approve this message." The message was then edited to say "My name is George W. Bush and I approve this mess."

The winning track, "The Evil Plans of George W. Bush III" was written by ex-UK producer Chelfyn Baxter after finding himself trapped in the US for 5 days after 9/11 while emigrating to live in New Zealand.
