It’s not an entire film (and it’s not in French), but two more readers, Talya and Pavle, have sent in a video of their song “Fannie Mae Eat Freddie Mac and Cheese,” which uses “freakonomics” as a sort of mantra. We like.

talya – this is awesome. you guys ROCK!
talya, that was smart and hilarious.
{claps} Very well done.
The guitarist Pavle graduated from Columbia University with a degree in economics.
Bravo! You really captured the economic confusion. I look forward to seeing more!
It’s kind of like Feist for the economy. Beautiful voice, Talya! And incredible musicality, given the content of your song!
(I’m kind of excited and “freaked” myself that this got published — I now am within two degrees of separation from the Freakonomics guys and am enormously pleased).
Well done, guys! Congrats!
