Summary :
Patriotic revolves around the controversial Patriot Act‹, which was enacted by the US Congress following the attacks of 9/11. They pick out the passages relating to the security of the USA and the fight against terror. The result it a sweet ode to the USA for several voices with clear homoerotic undertones. Patriotic is full of bombastic, drastic rhetoric and singing soldiers in imaginary uniforms. The two sing as loudly as they can to Celine Dion's hit from the Titanic ‹My Heart Will Go On‹. The irony is unmistakable: a perfect war propaganda parody.
