## Information on the rapper

William James "Bill" O'Reilly, Jr. was born on September 10th, 1949, in New York City, New York. He is an American television host, author, historian, syndicated columnist, and political commentator.

O'Reilly hosted the political commentary program *The O'Reilly Factor* (later *The Factor*) on the Fox News Channel, which was the most-watched cable news program on American television. During the late 1970s and 1980s, he worked as a news reporter for various local television stations in the United States and eventually for CBS News and ABC News. From 1989–1995, he was anchor of the entertainment news program *Inside Edition*.

O'Reilly is widely considered a conservative commentator, though some of his positions diverge from conservative orthodoxy (in particular his opposition to the death penalty, and support for gun control and environment). He is a registered "independent", and characterizes himself as a "traditionalist". O'Reilly is also the author of ten books as well as the host of *The Radio Factor* from 2002 to early 2009. However, in April 2017, it was reported that O'Reilly and Fox News paid around $13 million to settle sexual harassment charges filed against O'Reilly by five female co-workers, causing sponsors to withdraw their advertisements from the program and leading to O'Reilly leaving the network.

In addition to hosting *The Factor*, O'Reilly made various guest appearances on other talk shows, and was a source of inspiration for the fictional anchorman characters of comedian Stephen Colbert. He currently hosts an independent podcast via his personal website, and has also written many books about historical figures such as Adolf Hitler, Abraham Lincoln, John F. Kennedy, and Ronald Reagan.

## Lyrics

### **Verse 1:**

You fucking long hair, living in your yellow submarine!

Well, you're about to get sunk by the right-wing political machine!

Stop your presses, Lennon! You call me Mr. Bill O'Reilly!

When it comes to squashing limeys, I come recommended highly!

You're weak! Between you and me, there's no comparison!

I'll beat you so bad, you weep gently like George Harrison!

You're Paul McCartney's bitch with less talent than Ringo,

And I'd rather suck George Bush's dick than Yoko Ono's!

### **Verse 2:**

'Cause I'm evil, heart blacker than Don Cheadle!

Ten-thousand-dollar shoes I used to stomp out a Beatle!

Don't tell me to shut the fuck up, that's how I survive!

Now, here's Sting. What? Fuck it, we'll do it live!

## Scrapped lyrics

I'm evil, and I stomp out every feeble Beatle!

I may be white, but my soul is blacker than Don Cheadle!
