"Bush Asked to Stop Using 'Still the One'"

[GreenPartyVoter]

WASHINGTON (AP) - The Bush campaign abruptly stopped using the 1970's hit "Still the One" at campaign rallies Friday after the songwriter, no fan of the president, claimed the Republicans never got permission.

John Hall, a former Democratic county legislator in upstate New York, co-wrote the song and recorded it with his band Orleans in 1976. He complained on Friday morning about the campaign playing the song at the president's events.

The cheery pop tune was opened and ended a Bush campaign rally in New Hampshire Friday, but then vanished from the political playlist.

"Out of deference to Mr. Hall's views, the song will no longer be played," said Bush campaign spokeswoman Nicolle Devenish. She said the song had been included in a catalog of music that the campaign's licensing company used to provide music for events.

2. True 'nuff. Welcome to DU!

3. Apparently Bush's campaign doesnt respect Intellectual Property rights

Of course, it's difficult given that their leader doesn't even respect Intellect in the first place.

4. A variation of "Nixon's the One".

Remember that old political slogan? The slogan sounds more like an accusation.

5. "The cheery pop tune" LOL! did anyone read the LYRICS!?!?

from a DEAD THREAD last night......

DEFINITIVE PROOF that BC04 is Utterly Insane | and a song!

You can't make this stuff up! CNN reported tonight that the BC campaign has a new 'theme song' - STILL THE ONE!

did anyone look at the lyrics? it's insane. just, mad.

sample:

You're still the one that I love to touch
Still the one and I can't get enough
We're still having fun, and you're still the one

You're still the one who can scratch my itch
Still the one and I wouldn't switch
We're still having fun, and you're still the one

You're still the one that makes me shout
Still the one that I dream about
We're still having fun, and you're still the one...


this is a PRESIDENTIAL theme song? a campaign theme song. I mean, assuming it's ABOUT the chimp, this song is I LOVE YOU. I ADORE YOU. I (yes, I'll say it) WORSHIP YOU.

can you just HEAR Kerry, Edwards or any surrogate riffing on this gaffe?

Did you hear that the President has a new theme song for his campaign? Yes, it's STILL THE ONE. You remember that don't you? Well, I think it's a perfect choice for this president.

He's STILL THE ONE who has not captured Osama bin Laden
He's STILL THE ONE who has not located any WMDs in Iraq
He's STILL THE ONE who has not developed an exit strategy for Iraq
He's STILL THE ONE who has not created a single private-sector job

you get the idea.

I hope someone jumps on this.

my parody lyric:

ON THE RUN (To the tune of "Still the One")

YOU TOOK THE COUNTRY WITH DIRTY TRICKS
THIS TIME IT'S YOUR TURN TO TAKE A FEW KICKS
WE'VE BEEN ENRAGED NOW FOR A LONG, LONG TIME
YOU'RE ON THE RUN AND YOU WILL NOT MAKE THE CLIMB

YOU'RE ON THE RUN, WEARING YOUR GOP FROWNS
ON THE RUN, A BUNCH OF CLOWNS
WE HAVE NOT YET WON, BUT YOU'RE ON THE RUN

LOSERS LIKE YOU DON'T GET TO BE KINGS
YOU'RE A PNAC PUPPET, TIME TO CUT YOUR STRINGS
WATCHING YOU SWEAT, AS YOU'RE FORCED OFF SCRIPT
OOPS, THOSE EXPLOSIVES!, I BET YOU WERE PISSED.

YOU'RE ON THE RUN WITH HATE AND FEAR
ONE THE RUN WITH YOUR LIES MADE CLEAR
WE HAVE NOT YET WON, BUT YOU'RE ON THE RUN
WE HAVE NOT YET WON, BUT YOU'RE ON THE RUN

YOU'RE ON THE RUN I HEAR THE FEAR IN YOUR VOICE
ON THE RUN, WE'LL SOON REJOICE
WE HAVE NOT YET WON, BUT YOU'RE ON THE RUN

FLAILING, YOUR LINES ARE GROWING STALE
THE WIND AT OUR BACK, NOW A GALE
YOU'RE ON THE RUN AND YOUR EDGE IS GONE
ON THE RUN FROM A MAN NAMED JOHN
WE HAVE NOT YET WON, BUT YOU'RE ON THE RUN

YOU'RE ON THE RUN WITH THAT ZANY ZELL
ON THE RUN, HEADING STRAIGHT TO HELL
WE HAVE NOT YET WON, BUT YOU'RE ON THE RUN

YOU ARE ON THE RUN SO PLEASE LET ME SHOUT
ON THE RUN, THAT'S WITHOUT A DOUBT
WE HAVE NOT YET WON, BUT YOU'RE ON THE RUN!
