For quite some time now, we’ve been wanting to write an inspirational theme song for our generation; a song that would rally the forlorn. But we never could quite get the lyrics. Until the premiere episode of American Idol Season 7 and the farewell rant of Ms. Alexis Cohen. Watch, be inspired, and share:

I don’t know If I said it already but …Great site…keep up the good work.
I read a lot of blogs on a daily basis and for the most part, people lack substance but, I just wanted to make a quick comment to say I’m glad I found your blog. Thanks, 
A definite great read….
Bring it on Simon, he is so cutting sometimes but great to watch better than Paula.
Like to watch Stargate Atlantis episodes and also Lost. I found your blog on google and read a few of your other posts. I just added you to my Google News Reader. Look forward to reading more from you in the future.
By any chance do you think you guys could make your songs available by another means then QuickTime? I don’t have QuickTime pro, and thus cannot get your “free download”.
Oh well, love your songs anyway.
i loved the song!!!!!!!!
i loved it.
also the one about facebook,
Wonderful music and brilliant lyrics!
The arms in the air is so inspiring! I love it when you both wave your arms. That’s some wonderful choreography you got there.
OH! And did you see that the website “Idol Stalker” featured both of these video? http://www.idolstalker.com/american-idol-7-tribute-alexis-cohen/ Check it out, leave a comment and share the love! The more people leave comments, the more folks will go in and see what that post was about. And that means more people new to R&L and YouTube will see the video and get totally hooked!
usiseros It was neat seeing Alexis in the video. You did a really good job on your response video! It’s funny how the same peice fo music can have a totally different feel depending upon the images shown.
Yay! I love your motto song!
Idol theme song has to be one of the best songs yet…man…good job guys!
I was inspired by your video response to Alexis Cohen, the song was great, funny in a nice way.
Just want to inform you that I have made a Video response (a mini MTV thing) to your NEW American Idol theme. If you don’t like it, please tell me and I will immediately remove the said video.
Check it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=diMpF3hx8ww
Thanks! and More Power!

It would be cool if your American Idol song was played for each person that was voted off….kind like that Had a Bad Day song.
sadly i didnt see last night’s show and i wanted to. that american idol video is the funniest thing i’ve seen in a while. and since school only has a 2 hour delay i wont even be able to catch the office hour :/ so i guess i’ll catch you next week. keep up the good work!
Really great show guys. thanks for showing my video on there! I really love the new song! Inspirational and…. Majestic!
Nice work, fellas. Great show.
One day, I’m gonna make the live Linkcast, I promise.
Yes! I’ve been waiting for this all night. Seriously, I couldn’t sleep.
Good show guys. It was my first time and I’ll definitely check it out again. Heck, maybe even tomorrow. Even if it the Thursday show is on at the same time as “Don’t forget the Lyrics.”;)
Well you did a great video Laura!!!!
I so need to get to work on mine…
This Kast was great again… I missed the guitar though! (do not say needs more cowbell do not say needs more cowbell)
That new song was incredible…
I’m a Rhett and Link celebrity! Amazing. Thanks for showing my video guys and for all the compliments! Also just as an add on, I just changed backgrounds not locales… I was in my basement (in homage to you guys filming in the basement) the whole time and yes my Dad has way too many tools for his own good. The strange thing is, if you move even one of them out of place, he knows!
Maybe I’ll cook up another Rhett and Link rap response before the time is up because all the compliments got me in a creative mood. LOL.
