New England gangsters

En av mina elever visade mig en hemskt rolig filmsnutt på Youtube idag. Det är en reklamfilm för Smirnoff Raw Tea och den är utformad som en rapvideo, men istället för de vanliga gangstrarna från the hood så kommer dessa från New England-societeten. Det blir extra kul när man exempelvis har sett Gilmore Girls och har lite koll på östkustsocieteten och deras fäbless för Marthas Vineyard, high tea och vikten av RSVP. Kul också när de hälsar till sina kompisar som sitter inne - inte för vapeninnehav utan för aktieaffärer. Här kommer den underhållande texten.

p(rep)-unit!
what's up fellas?
yo yo, where my WASPs at?
M.V. -- martha's vineyard!
holla back!
tell buffy to chirp me
sip sip!

yo, straight outta cape cod
we're keeping it real
we're gonna have a party -- makes the ladies squeal
we're gonna turn it out with our parents' riches
we'll serve smirnoff raw tea and finger sandwiches

we keeps it real
by real, we mean rich
from new hampshire to vermont
from the maine line to greenwich
cause no one's harder than a new england gangster
we drink raw tea on the south wing veranda

let's have a tea partay
high tea in the parlor makes the ladies holler
let's have a tea partay
smirnoff raw tea: lemond, peach, and raspberry
we sail yachts and we ride on horses
every meal we eat comes with multiple courses
when it's time to party, we have a tea party
and we keeps it real -- the old money way

haters like to counter ivy league education
but they're just jealous
cuz our families run the nation
yo, where's the love at the tea partay?
but if you're gonna show up, send an rsvp our way
haters!
holla back!

let's have a tea partay
high tea in the parlor makes the ladies holler
let's have a tea partay
smirnoff raw tea: lemond, peach, and raspberry
we play croquet and we go rollerbladin'
here's to the homies on lock for insider trading
it's a tea partay from maine to amagansett
we might be vanilla but our lab(rador)s are chocolate

we're chilling from our heads
and white tennis visors
right down to our toes
in a pair of top-siders
so now it's time to break
but please will you promote smirnoff raw tea parties
and we'll send you a thank-you note
in cursive

tea partay
tea partay
tea partay
let's have a tea partay

På hemsidan kan man även läsa i Prepsta guiden för att få lite tips om hur man bör föra sig i societeten. Ett av tipsen angående RSVP (alltså o.s.a.) lyder: "Nothing says: 'I was raised by wolves without monogrammed silver' like showing up to a Tea Partay unannounced."
