CIBC chief economist Avery Shenfeld has penned these lyrics about BOC/BOE governor Mark Carney, which are evidently supposed to be sung along to this song. He’s taking some heat because it’s a bit bizarre but at Forexlive we appreciate humor and creativity, so thumbs up (for effort).
Who can take recession, cast off all the blue
Steer the yield curve lower get a miracle or two
The Carney Man, oh the Carney Man can
The Carney Man can ‘cause he’s been the world’s best Gov
and makes the street feel good
Who can push stability, with bankers far and nigh
Make new capital targets look as easy as a pie
The Carney Man, oh the Carney Man can
The Carney Man can ‘cause he’s led the FSB
with credibility
The Carney Man states
economic fates
With a voice that’s so delicious
As he talks about his CPI wishes
You can see that he’s ambitious
Who can a make a forecast, of rate hikes coming soon
Back away tomorrow but retain the same old tune
The Carney Man, oh the Carney Man can
The Carney Man can so we keep from too much debt
and make our credit scores good
Who can go to London, be the newborn King
Guide the City bankers make the UK market sing
The Carney Man, oh the Carney Man can
The Carney Man can if there’s anyone who can
with all the mess to fix
Who will one day come back, bruised after his five
Looking for a new roost, perhaps on Sussex Drive
The Carney Man, oh the Carney Man can
The Carney Man can ‘cause he’s Canadian through and through
and makes our hearts go oooooh
