From The Associated Press:
After hearing Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld dress down the media at Pentagon press briefings, two San Francisco musicians came to an inevitable conclusion: his words simply must be set to chamber music.
So they've taken Rumsfeld's explanations of world affairs and set them to airy classical compositions.
"The Poetry of Donald Rumsfeld and Other Fresh American Songs" includes "The Unknown" from Rumsfeld's Feb. 12, 2003, briefing on the situation in Iraq:
"As we know,
"There are known knowns.
"There are things we know we know.
"We also know there are known unknowns ... "
Now those words are lyrics sung by soprano Elender Wall, set to the lofty chords of composer and pianist Bryant Kong.

I think it sucks. The girl is singing to high I can barely hear her.
Maybe if I were a dog...
