Kim Dotcom Raps On John Banks
Internet tycoon and alleged pirate has produced a rap video about John Banks entitled ``Amnesia’’.
The New Zealand Herald reported
that the track features lyrics from Black Eyed Peas'
producer and songwriter Printz Board and has the chorus:
"That politician got amnesia again."
Dotcom made the track after allegations Mr Banks had known the identity of donations declared to be anonymous. Mr Banks has repeatedly said he could not remember many aspects of his dealings with Dotcom but had complied with local body electoral law.
Dotcom, who is recording a dance album, said the track came together after Board returned to New Zealand last week to finish the dance album, the Herald reported.
The pair had gone to Neil Finn's Roundhead Studios to work on the album during the four-hour bail exception granted by the North Shore District Court last month.
The vocals include: "He's the majority so he's all right/ He's John Banks, he got the vote/And that's why Key keeps him afloat/ ... on his cabbage boat?"
