There have been so many anti-Rob Ford songs released since his crack video scandal erupted that we've made a full video slideshow of them (see below). But at long last, and just in time for tonight's 13th annual Ford Fest BBQ where it will be performed, a singer has come out in favour of Toronto's embattled "cost cowboy and rollback viceroy."
Jenny James, a Filipino-Canadian singer from Toronto who began singing at the age of five, has lit up social media with her 80s rock anthem praising RoFo -- "he's big and grand / On wasting people's money he takes a stand" -- despite the video including a photoshopped image of Ford in a crown with a crack-pipe in hand. (D'oh!)
As far as we can tell, James is dead serious no matter how satirical the hair metal song may seem. (Hell, we'll even assume the throwback sound is intended to mirror his rollback tax policies).

Mayor Ford (The World Will Remember)
(c) 2013 Jenny James, Brian Mann, Paul Chalmers, Sonia Watkins
Verse 1
Mayor Ford the tax payer's Lord
Toronto's own, our votes he won
He's big and grand
On wasting people's money he takes a stand
Verse 2
He's the money crusader
The excess cost eliminator
A big heart that always cares
A man who's fair and keeps things square
Chorus
Mayor Ford, cost cowboy and rollback viceroy
Toronto's defender, economic mender
Blatant attacks won't make him collapse
Cause Mayor Ford will bounce right back
Mayor Ford, the world will remember
Verse 3
We've seen tax and spend heroes before
Their fancy speeches, oh what a bore
They had their thrills and now we're forced to pay their bills
That's why we're sore
Verse 4
All the crazy accusations
Won't break apart the Ford Nation
He's the man who perseveres
His political mandate will adhere
Chorus
Mayor Ford, cost cowboy and rollback viceroy
Toronto's defender, economic mender
Blatant attacks won't make him collapse
Cause Mayor Ford will bounce right back
Mayor Ford, the world will remember
Guitar Solo...
Ending Chorus
Mayor Ford, cost cowboy and rollback viceroy
Toronto's defender, economic mender
Blatant attacks won't make him collapse
Cause Mayor Ford will bounce right back
Mayor Ford, the world will remember
