Sure, Stephen Colbert's political humor is great, but we prefer his early work: The sensitive, touching and frequently unnerving pop he crafted as part of Stephen and the Colberts. The apex of their work, the semi-hit single "Charlene," is now available as a free download on Rock Band.
Right now, this standard of American synth-stalk-pop is only available as a free download on Xbox Live, but we wouldn't be surprised if it was also part of today's PSN update. In the meantime, see Colbert's softer side just after the jump.
Gotta love free tracks. "Still Alive" and "Promised Land" were pretty fun. I'm looking forward to getting home and grabbing this off Live.
Keep the joke songs coming. If we're lucky, they'll hopefully have one of their Game-Generate challenges with stuff like the above (and Timmy for those who Exported)
I suppose he could, but I think I read in an interview he did that he chooses not to come out of character in public. I guess it's part of his whole gimmick. Knowing the little bit that I do about the "real" Stephen Colbert, it would be interesting to see how like his personality he is.
While I'll admit the guy can be funny (his speech at the White House was priceless), you have to realize that anybody who watches the Daily Show, Colbert, and Olbermann every day is incapable of rational thought about anything political. They're just passive vessels absorbing left-wing dogma.
I'm a Republican and I watch Colbert very often and The Daily Show almost as often. Whether or not I agree with their political views, both do a decent job of presenting the news as well as providing some quality comedy. Yeah, they're left-biased, but at least they're open about it, unlike the majority of the media.
I remember when this song first came out and then the Police shortly came out with that song "Every Breath You Take." I though, what a rip! They should be paying the Colbert's massive royalties. Well, Stephen had the last laugh. Where's your TV show, Sting?
