Customer Reviews
Great Political Satire
The Capitol Steps are brutally honest and hillariously funny. It is sometimes sad to reflect on the amount of satire inspiration this administration generates, but the Capitol Steps "capitalize" on this and create a work of art. Using well known tunes, they change the lyrics with amusing results. This is a must-listen for those wishing for comic relief.
Excellent Political Satire and good music to boot!
Capitol Steps is extremely funny, pointed, and on point musical political satire - you might say they're an audio equivalent of the best editorial cartoons. Certainly something to make people from any political persuasion grin, if not outright laugh out loud. This musical visits from many of the current political frontrunners for both sides in this podcast is hilarious, and that's just the beginning - well worth a listen!
Awesome
Capitol Steps is amazing!!!
