Dated song. We don't have the funny farm any more. The ACLU sued to shut down the mental health asylums. They won. People had been incarcerated against their wills, you see, and that was wrong. Then when it became obvious that it was a disaster, they blamed Reagan.

Standard power politics: always have a scapegoat ready. You must never be blamed for your own actions.

LoL, but with new technology you have the funny farm right from the comfort of your own home, plus you have "correctional" institutions to take the place of asylums. It's a win win! /s

Awesome song but this is a crappy fan-made video that follows the text to the letter and leaves nothing to the imagination. The original music video is much better.

Cool. I couldn't remember what the actual funny farm (video) looked like, I just remembered the song from Dr. Demento
