“Identity Theft” by Nellie McKay from her CD Obligatory Villagers. One of the best songs, albums and artists you’ve never heard of. Nellie holds all copyrights – I’m just helping her and Vanguard expose this great talent.

I heard Nellie perform this song on Prarie Home Companion and it was 10x better than the recording. She is amazing
While I agree with that on some of Nellie’s songs, I have to go against you on this one. The musicianship and arrangements on this album are so exquisite that they can’t be duplicated in a live performance, particularly with just Nellie on the piano. It is a totally different experience.

/ .. Is it just me but I think this song is better live. That can’t be said about all songs.
hahahaha dammmmmmmmmmmmmm
My God!
This is Badass!
yes man ,she’s real urbane and a damn comedienne…plus , she sweet and honest and purdy and ….yes , i’m a big fan , man…love the beatles cover on here…
I have had:
“Show your passport get that stamp, funny like a **** camp”
In my head since I 1st heard this song.
Pluto’s still a planet!
not since paul simon have i sat up and taken any notice of anyones lyrics ,,,,the bonus is her voice is sincere even though she portays sattire
Oh, yeah – some of the best stuff out there you can catch on PHC. I loved “Bramble and the Rose,” GK sang it with AS in November 2008 – the 15th, I think, if you want to catch it on the archive.
I haven’t been able to get the lyrics out of my head since I first heard it a month ago. And I try to catch Prairie Home Companion more now just to see if I can “discover” another gem like Nellie.
i first heard this song on the radio, A PRAIRE HOME COMPANION, most NPR stations carry it. lots of non popular music and entertainment to be found there.
ignorance is a right, not a privilege! XD
“Shun violence and religion, don’t play with nuns”
xD!!!!!
This song is addictive. :3
this reminds me of
“because i got high”
“F you once and f you twice Show your passport, get that stamp Funny like a **** camp..”
Go Nellie
This girl is amazing. GOD I HATE THE RADIO, this is someone who’s god some real stuff on her mind to say….and thats what real song writing is about!
Ray Bolger? Awesome.
euthanize your sense of fair play
LOL I love Nellie.
This song defines Nellie very well. She managed to put all of her beliefs in one song.
