I love rock 'n' roll and politics.

Some of you like rock 'n' roll and YouTube.

Let's work together.

I've taken Dwight Yoakam's "Long White Cadillac" and turned it into a lament of soaring gas prices.

Your assignment: Record it and put it on YouTube.

If your effort is great, good or even mildly entertaining, I'll link to it in this space.

E-mail me at bmcewen@fresnobee.com or post below when your version of "Long White Cadillac" shows up on YouTube. Check out the original version here.

Here are your lyrics:

Wallets groan
Bills overflow the stack
I'm all alone
Pumping gas in the back
Of a long white Cadillac

Oil derrick sighs
shooting out the black
I close my eyes
Sitting in the back
Of a long white Cadillac

Sometimes I blame it on government
protectin' Standard and Exxon
Sometimes I blame it on OPEC thieves
Shakin' the last dollar from me

Headlights shine
Highway fades to black
I'm out of gas
Begging to get back
In my long white Cadillac

Sometimes I blame it on government
protectin' Standard and Exxon
Sometimes I blame it on OPEC thieves
Shakin' the last dollar from me

Headlights shine
Highway fades to black
Cheap oil, cheap gas
Ain't never coming back
For my long white Cadillac
