NYPost says Vikram Bandit is going to be at the helm of Citigroup for a good long time, but we’re thinking, without a bonus, maybe he could start moonlighting as part of a cover band or as a lounge singer.

The Reformed Broker got in the act this morning with The Bandit’s version of Gloria Gaynor’s “I Will Survive”. Now, thanks to a benefactor whom I will keep anonymous, I present to you the Bandit rendition of Steve Miller Band’s “Rockin’ Me”:
“Bailin’ me” lyrics, by the Bandit Band
Well I’ve been fightin’ real hard
And I’m tryin’ to keep my job
But it just keeps gettin’ tougher every day
But I got to do my part cause I know in my heart
I got to please my Treasury Secretary, yeah
Well, I ain’t superstitious
And I don’t get suspicious
But my regulator is no friend of mine
And I know that it’s true that all the money that I lost
Will come back to me in my sweet time
So keep on bailin’ me Timmy
Keep on a bailin’ me Timmy
Keep on a bailin’ me Timmy
Keep on a bailin’ me Timmy
I went from Stanley, Old Lane
All the way to Citigroup
New York, Washington, D.C.
Saudi Arabia where the sheiks are friendly
So I could save my little Citi, yeah
Keep on a bailin’ me Timmy
Keep on a bailin’ me Timmy
Keep on a bailin’ me Timmy
Keep on a bailin’ me Timmy
Timmy, Timmy, Timmy
Keep on bailin’
Bailin’ me baby
Keep on a bailin’
Bailin’ me baby
Don’t get suspicious
Now don’t be suspicious
Chairman, you know my Tier 1 is good,
And you know that it’s true
That all the things that I do
Are gonna come back to haunt you in due time
I went from Stanley, Old Lane
All the way to Citigroup
New York, Washington, D.C.
Saudi Arabia where the sheiks are friendly
So I could hear my board say with me
Keep on a bailin’ me Timmy
Keep on a bailin’ me Timmy
Keep on a bailin’ me Timmy
Keep on a bailin’ me, bailin’ me, bailin’
Timmy, Timmy, Timmy
Keep on a bailin’ me Timmy
Keep on a bailin’ me Timmy
Keep on a bailin’ me Timmy
h/t to TonyS for busting out with the Photoshop which you know is well above my skill level. The original version, for those not versed:

He should listen to Abracadabra because only magic can save Citi now.

lollerskates!!! You totally should have given me the Gloria Gaynor ‘shop to do!

I hear he is already planning his next album:
Back In [the] Black
bad puns are painful. And anyways, by the time it is released, we’ll already be listening to Chinese Democracy Vol 2.

Off topic but oh so full of Photoshop promise . . .

That has got to be the greatest photoshop known to man. I almost think a bandit mask might detract from it.

I would like to see this go viral and become THE Karaoke Song of the Year!
