Kerry's Victory Song?

[RageAgainstTheirMachine]

I don't wanna get too ahead of myself, but I wonder what Kerry's victory song should be? What are your suggestions? I think it should be something more modern because if Kerry wins (which he will), it will be because of the youth vote.

5. Very Catchy

2. It'll be "No Surrender"

But I think that song that goes, "Na na na na, na na na na...Hey, hey, hey....Goodbye..." will do.

[Kal Belgarion]

3. I still like "Here Comes the Sun"

Can't lose with The Beatles. :)

[NAO]

26. I Like "Here Comes the Sun"

and there's that cool pic with Kerry and Lennon.

4. I said last Friday night...

...that "Born To Run" by Springsteen would be HIGHLY appropriate.

6. "No Surrender" & "Beautiful Day"!

[NMDemDist2]

7. Beautiful Day by U2

The heart is a bloom
Shoots up through the stony ground
There's no room
No space to rent in this town

You're out of luck
And the reason that you had to care
The traffic is stuck
And you're not moving anywhere

You thought you'd found a friend
To take you out of this place
Someone you could lend a hand
In return for grace

It's a beautiful day
Sky falls, you feel like
It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away

You're on the road
But you've got no destination
You're in the mud
In the maze of her imagination

You love this town
Even if that doesn't ring true
You've been all over
And it's been all over you

It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
It's a beautiful day

Touch me
Take me to that other place
Teach me
I know I'm not a hopeless case

See the world in green and blue
See China right in front of you
See the canyons broken by cloud
See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out
See the Bedouin fires at night
See the oil fields at first light
And see the bird with a leaf in her mouth
After the flood all the colors came out

It was a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
Beautiful day

Touch me
Take me to that other place
Reach me
I know I'm not a hopeless case

What you don't have you don't need it now
What you don't know you can feel it somehow
What you don't have you don't need it now
Don't need it now
Was a beautiful day

[Beaverhausen]

10. Yes- this one gets stuck in my head for hours

It IS a beautiful day!

[RageAgainstTheirMachine]

8. "I Won't Back Down"

Tom Petty

Well I know what's right
I got just one life
In a world that keeps on pushin' me around
But I stand my ground
And I won't back down

[TexasSissy]

18. Kerry used that song in the primaries. I LOVED it.

15. Hi SidBurn!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[imax2268]

13. I have been listening to this one for the past few days...

The Call...let the day begin...!
-----------------------------------------
Here's to the babies in a brand new world
Here's to the beauty of the stars
Here's to the travellers on the open road
Here's to the dreamers in the bars

Here's to the teachers in the crowded rooms
Here's to the workers in the fields
Here's to the preachers of the sacred words
Here's to the drivers at the wheel

Here's to you my little loves with blessings from above
Now let the day begin
Here's to you my little loves with blessings from above
Now let the day begin, let the day begin

Here's to the winners of the human race
Here's to the losers in the game
Here's to the soldiers of the bitter war
Here's to the wall that bears their names

Here's to you my little loves with blessings from above
Now let the day begin
Here's to you my little loves with blessings from above
Let the day begin, let the day begin, let the day start

Here's to the doctors and their healing work
Here's to the loved ones in their care
Here's to the strangers on the streets tonight
Here's to the lonely everywhere

Here's to the wisdom from the mouths of babes
Here's to the lions in the cage
Here's to the struggles of the silent war
Here's to the closing of the age.

Here's to you my little loves with blessings from above
Now let the day begin
Here's to you my little loves with blessings from above
Let the day begin

Here's to you my little loves with blessings from above
Let the day begin
Here's to you my little loves with blessings from above
Now let the day begin, let the day begin, let the day start...

GO KERRY...!

14. Landslide by DIXIE CHICKS!

I'd be happy with whatever they choose

[CitySky]

16. "Happy Days Are Here Again"

fine for me! But your Petty selection is also quite nice.

[LSK]

17. should still be no surrender

Why change it???

[TexasSissy]

19. Isn't there a Springsteen "Born in the U.S.A." song?

[imax2268]

20. not really

a patriotic or victory song...it's really a protest song...

[Bossy Monkey]

22. Yes. It's about the misery caused by the Reagan administration.

Not a top choice. "No Surrender" is far more appropriate, and anyway is already the campaign's theme song.

[milkyway]

21. "Around the Sun" by R.E.M. It closes "Going Upriver." I voted while

listening to it on my ipod.
