Convention songs

[Archae]

When "The Big Dog" came out, they played Fleetwood Mac's "Don't Stop."

When Jimmy Carter came out, they played "Georgia On My Mind."

At the GOP convention they'll play Frank Zappa's "You Can Be An Asshole," Weird Al's "Dare To Be Stupid," Ozzy Osbourne's "War Pigs" and Thompson Twin's "Lies Lies Lies,"

Oh, and the Beatles' "Piggies."

1. Hehe.I love that song.It's the one who represent them the best:

Have you seen the little piggies
Crawling in the dirt
And for all the little piggies
Life is getting worse
Always having dirt to play around in.

Have you seen the bigger piggies
In their starched white shirts
You will find the bigger piggies
Stirring up the dirt
Always have clean shirts to play around in.

In their styes with all their backing
They don't care what goes on around
In their eyes there's something lacking
What they need's a damn good whacking.

Everywhere there's lots of piggies
Living piggy lives
You can see them out for dinner
With their piggy wives
Clutching forks and knives to eat their bacon.

3. Was that the first political tune the Beatles did?

Somewhere I think I read that.

2. I'll bet you $100 they play U2's "Beautiful Day" for John Kerry

Just a lucky guess, although that's what they played for him at a rally at the Student Union at the University of Akron, earlier this year.
