Thanks to Tennessee Brando, and thanks to United States Representative Jasmine Crockett and United States Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for their words in that May 16, 2024 House Oversight Committee hearing which inspired Tennessee Brando's original song and inspired  numerous other "Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Body" remixes. Thanks also to all those who are quoted in this post.

BACKGROUND FOR THIS SONG
Tennessee Brando's song "Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Body" immortalizes the words that were spoken by Representative Jasmine Crockett (Democrat-Texas) in the form of a question to the Chairman of that Congressional hearing. Crockett asked for clarification about the Committee rules and consequences about making negative personal descriptions of other Representatives.

The words "bleach blonde bad built butch body" are an unflattering description of Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene. Those words were spoken by Democratic Representative Jasmine Croker on May 16, 2024 as a clever clapback (retort) that was disguised as a question to James Comer, the Republican Chairperson of the United States House (Congressional) Oversight Committee hearing,

As background, during that late night Congressional hearing Greene (who is a White American) snidely referred to the long fake eyelashes that were worn by Crockett (who is African American.). Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez filed a motion to reprimand Greene for violating Committee rules against insulting a Representative's personal appearance. However, the Chairperson basically ignored that motion. At that point, Crockett asked the Chairperson for clarification about what would be considered a violation of that rule, for instance would saying that someone was a bleach blond bad built body a violation of that rule?

There were a lot of heated exchanges between Greene, Crockett, and some other Representatives during that Oversight Committee hearing,. Among the exchanges that occurred that evening was the statement "Oh girl, baby girl, don't even play" that Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (Democrat- New York) who is known as "AOC" made to Greene.  

Tennessee Brando's original song "Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Body" incorporates Crockett's disguised "clapback" and AOC's "baby girl/ don't even play" words along with unflattering descriptions of Marjorie Taylor Greene. Representative Greene is widely known for insulting other Representatives, and is also known for disrupting Congressional hearings and other official United States meetings such as the Presidential State of the Union.

LYRICS - "BLEACH BLONDE BAD BUILT BUTCH BODY"
(Tennessee Brando, composed May 17, 2024)

She’s a bleach blond bad built butch body
Swinging for the fences good God almighty
A heat seeking missile too scared to debate
Cries like a baby when she don’t get her way.


Yes, she can dish it out
But she sure can’t take it.
Her whole damn life
She just fakes it to make it.
Nobody cares what she has to say
New eyelashes wouldn’t help her anyway.

Cuz she’s a bleach blond bad built butch body
Swinging for the fences good God almighty
A heat seeking missile too scared to debate
Cries like a baby when she don’t get her way.

Yeah, she’s out there pushing their propaganda
Can’t get it done just blame it on Brandon
She loves to talk tough and throw around her weight
Old baby girl, don’t even play

Cuz she’s a bleach blond bad built butch body
Swinging for the fences good God almighty
A heat seeking missile too scared to debate
Cries like a baby when she don’t get her way.

Yeah, she cries like a baby when she don’t get her way.

"Thank you, Mr. Brando. I knew that people would come through for Jasmine. This black man appreciates everything you do for democracy and promoting progressive values. The internet trolls and racists thought they would have the last laugh with how they attacked Jasmine online but I knew MTG would come to rue the day she engaged in that despicable behavior. People like yourself restore my faith in America. I stand with Jasmine and AOC."

"I stand behind Crocket from the first time I heard her make any comments! Love her ability to put it out there and not mince words. The song is great- very clever incorporating what both Crocket and AOC said. I was also thinking yesterday about what Michelle Obama said: "When they go low, we go high." I believe, we certainly don't want to stoop to their level; however, there ARE times when you have to stand up to the bully. Why is it that people, especially people in the South, will continuously vote against their own interests, then complain that life mistreats them? I don't think they realize that the candidate they worship and support could care less about their lives and will toss them aside after their vote."

I hate how the Right Wing has capitalized on Southern folks while simultaneously mocking them. I’m Yankee born but Southern raised so I think I have a pretty good perspective on this. The South has been voting against their own best interests for years. Keep up the great work, I’m tuned in."

I especially love to watch Jasmine get after Republicans.  She is so smart, knowledgeable, articulate, quick witted, and fiery. We have quite a few Democrats in Congress that are being aggressive. Which is what we need. You've said this and I can't agree more. But my favourite to watch is Jasmine."
