Written by Robert Yarnall, with lyrics by Marc Emory and Robert Yarnall, Political Idol is the latest production from The Freedom Toast, founded by parody writer Marc Emory.  Mr. Emory originated the idea for TFT at a Renaissance Weekend gathering (the annual retreat for innovative leaders from diverse fields) where he was encouraged to record some of his twisted takes on popular songs.

“It just became this thing that we kept doing, that kept getting bigger,” says Emory, son of longtime Washington newspaper correspondent and former Gridiron Club president, Alan S. Emory. Marc has personally performed his song “Listen to the Phone Calls That Your Neighbor Makes” for President Bill Clinton. The song - a parody of "Listen to the Rhythm of the Falling Rain" - is a comment on the Bush administration with regard to government surveillance of private citizens.
