Randy Newman discusses the song "A Few Words in Defense of Our Country" from his new album, Harps and Angels. When it was first released as a single in 2007, its lyrics published as an op-ed in the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times called it a “three-decades-on bookend to Political Science ... so funny it hurt," and Rolling Stone named it #2 on its list of the year's best singles.
