Gee, Wally! Hillary wants us to choose her theme song!

[woo me with science]

Will somebody tell this person she is running for President of the United States and not the Student Council?!

Welcome to American politics, 2007. We have to pick the THEME SONG for the hopeful Leader of the Free World. Even Sanjaya would show some leadership and pick his own damn theme song.

Welcome to Campaign 2007. Bathing suit competition to follow.

[skipos]

1. There are a million reasons to dislike Hillary

but this isn't one of them, imo.

[woo me with science]

2. I dislike the American Idol-ization of our political process,

not Hillary. Did you watch the MSNBC "debates"?

[bunkerbuster1]

16. It made me chuckle. I agree, she's just having a little fun.

Nothing wrong with that.

I hope they don't mind that I suggested Green Day's "Basket Case" as the theme song.

[Captain Hilts]

22. I voted for my 2nd favorite group from Liverpool, Smashmouth. nt

[wyldwolf]

3. OH MY GOD! She wears a FLOWER on her blouse!

[woo me with science]

4. That's not a flower.

That's the wire to Ryan Seacrest.

[Pab Sungenis]

5. Here, Hillary. Find this album and play cut 1.

[MH1]

20. ..

:rofl:

[woo me with science]

29. I'll have to look this up later

unless you care to say what the cut is. ;-)

[greguganus]

33. "The Bitch Is Back"???? n/t

[Pab Sungenis]

34. Yep.

Wonderfully defiant song, turns the vision of her on its head.

"Oh, the bitch is back
Stone cold sober, as a matter of fact.
I can bitch, I can bitch, 'cause I'm better than you.
It's the way that I move, the things that I do."

[Clark2008]

37. Don't tell me...

Would that be the album that has "The Bitch is Back" on it.

:rofl:

[shain from kane]

53. I voted to do something about that "Madman Across The Water."

[shain from kane]

54. Condi: "Don't Shoot Me I'm Only The Piano Player."

[ronnykmarshall]

58. never mind

[Lobster Martini]

6. Happened to be listening to a Bessie Smith record when I read this...

Doubt Hillary would use "Nobody In Town Can Bake A Sweet Jelly Roll Like Mine" but I have to admit that I like the idea.

[woo me with science]

28. Bwah! nt

[Dhalgren]

7. "Ladies of the Road" by King Crimson...

[primative1]

14. King Crimson certainly captures her spirit ..

I was thinking more like "21st century schizoid man" ... only we could change it to WOMAN to show the progression thing




"the fate of all mankind I fear is in the hands of fools" Hmm ...

[William769]

8. Heres the perfect answer to your op.

[iamahaingttta]

9. "Don't Come Around Here No More"

by Tom Petty

[NoPasaran]

10. I'm glad this happened

I'd been getting close to committing to Hillary but she managed to drag me back from the cliff a little bit.

[woo me with science]

27. So far...

I am actually voting for her in the primaries. But this kind of stuff makes me ill.

[Tellurian]

38. Why, all the politico's do it..

nothing spectacular about it.. You'll probably see something similar from the Obama and Edwards camp as well.

[laugle]

70. This made me think of "the ode to G.W. Idiot" "HIT THE ROAD JACK AND DON'T YOU COME BACK" by Ray

Charles........

For Hillary I like "I am woman--hear me roar" by Helen Reddy........

[Bjornsdotter]

11. Lighten up Francis n/t

[meegbear]

12. I voted for "Beautiful Day" ...

thanks for posting this. I would never have known about it, and I'm sure many others, unless you posted this. :hi:

[MrSlayer]

13. "Generals gather in their masses......"

Would be a nice inspiring tune.

[bunkerbuster1]

15. She says "Eggonizing"

when she means "agonizing."

Weird.

[zalinda]

17. I'm starting to think she is the perfect choice

apparently, NOTHING she does is the right thing. Damn, grow up. She is showing some humor, because some say she is humorless.

And if Kucinich would have done it, he would have been lauded as a man of the people.

zalinda

[shain from kane]

18. Kucinich had "Sixteen Tons.", and what did he get?

[TwilightGardener]

25. Another day older and deeper in debt--

But he does have a hot redhead wife, as my husband likes to note.

[Mark Twain Girl]

43. Okay, this made me laugh out loud... I could picture him singing this. n/t

[shain from kane]

45. Here's a reference.

Presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich's rendition of the song on January 8, 2007 received fairly widespread media play on a variety of television stations and on the popular website YouTube.<1>

[Trajan]

19. I love when DUers smack around Democrats for trivial reasons ....

er ..... No I dont ...

[woo me with science]

26. You're right!

I hope we get to vote for her outfit in the debates, too! :yourock:

[rodeodance]

75. yeah

whose needs the RWing when we have our own

[Bitwit1234]

21. Geey Peezy Batman Obama wear white tights

Aren't you people silly? That statement is just as stupid as making fun of Hillary choosing a theme song. So what's wrong with a campaign theme song. I remember hearing that FDR's theme song was

"""""""""""""""HAPPY DAYS ARE HERE AGAIN""""""""""""""""""

And he RAN a very successful campaign for president, WITH A THEME SONG.

[Captain Hilts]

23. Actually, FDR's original theme song was "Anchors Aweigh."

But his staff got so sick of hearing it during the primaries and the first rounds of the convention, Louis Howe - FDR's campaign adviser - insisted it be changed to "Happy Days Are Here Again."

[wyldwolf]

24. It's a brilliant retort, actually...

Clinton leads by _____% in ________ poll.

Yeah, but she's stupid head and has people picking her song!

[Broke Dad]

30. All great suggestions . . .

Elton John's "The Bitch is Back" is my fav!

[TwilightGardener]

32. Aw, c'mon, let's not do that!

[AngryAmish]

31. I vote for "They Saved Hitler's Cock"

[d_b]

41. that might be good

something by GG Allin may be better.

[ima_sinnic]

35. "Plastic Smile" (Black Uhuru)

:shrug:

sorry, I'm not a Hillary fan

[Clark2008]

36. "Find Your Way Back" comes to mind.

[mtnsnake]

39. "The Kid is Hot Tonight" by Loverboy or "Give Peace a Chance" would be appropriate for her

...considering she's the Goddess of Peace and would end the war immediately upon taking the oath of President if elected and if the war was still going on. What can I say, Hillary rocks!

[Colobo]

40. "Barbie Girl" by Aqua

[d_b]

42. Material Girl - Madonna

[mtnsnake]

44. Ken and Barbie come to mind when I think of Mitt Romney and his wife. nt

[Hart2008]

46. "I Can't Explain" by the Who!

It will come in handy when she is asked questions about her IWR vote, why she didn't go and read the NIE before voting, the last vote on Feingold-Reid, etc.

Or if you are a Who fan, how about "My generation" with the lyrics changed to "triangulation"?
Talkin' about tr-tr-triangulation!

[shain from kane]

49. Won't Get Fooled Again

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

[Hart2008]

51. "Hillary" the musical...er rock opera, sung by Roger Daltrey! Scream by Howard Dean!

Adds new life to Hillary's usual song and dance rountine.

Howard can add the scream for "Won't Get fooled Again".

I predict it'll be a big hit.

[shain from kane]

52. It Takes A Village: The Kids Are Alright

[Hart2008]

55. "I Can See For Miles" and "Magic Bus" too!

"I Can See For Miles" for when she hires the PI's to spy on Bill and her opposition research teams.
"Magic Bus" for the '92 campaign.

This will be a big hit!

[shain from kane]

59. Bill Clinton: Happy Jack

I know, terrible.

[zulchzulu]

47. A couple Zappa tunes might fit...

Cosmik Debris

:sarcasm:

[Tekla West]

48. One from Hil's time

how about Jerry singing

I married me a wife, she's been trouble all my life.

[shain from kane]

50. Climb Every Mountain (Sir Edmund Hillary reference.)

[laugle]

71. I like that a lot.....it's a beautiful song......n/t

[knight_of_the_star]

56. Can we do submissions?

I'm thinking Highway to Hell

[ronnykmarshall]

57. Need some more straws to grasp at?

:eyes:

[Forkboy]

72. Hey...she asked.

We're giving. :shrug:

[Marnieworld]

60. Once The Daily Show played "My milkshakes" as her theme song

It was hilarious. That will always be it for me.

Lyrics for those unfamiliar.

Tile :Kelis - Milkshake
This is lyrics from www.lyrics007.com

My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard,
And their like
It's better than yours,
Damn right it's better than yours,
I can teach you,
But I have to charge

I know you want it,
The thing that makes me,
What the guys go crazy for.
They lose their minds,
The way I wind,
I think its time


La la-la la la,
Warm it up.
Lala-lalala,
The boys are waiting

My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard,
And their like
It's better than yours,
Damn right it's better than yours,
I can teach you,
But I have to charge

I can see youre on it,
You want me to teach thee
Techniques that freaks these boys,
It can't be bought,
Just know, thieves get caught,
Watch if your smart,


La la-la la la,
Warm it up,
La la-la la la,
The boys are waiting,

My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard,
And their like
It's better than yours,
Damn right it's better than yours,
I can teach you,
But I have to charge

Oh, once you get involved,
Everyone will look this way-so,
You must maintain your charm,
Same time maintain your halo,
Just get the perfect blend,
Plus what you have within,
Then next his eyes are squint,
Then he's picked up your scent,


Lala-lalala,
Warm it up,
Lala-lalala,
The boys are waiting,

My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard,
And their like
It's better than yours,
Damn right it's better than yours,
I can teach you,
But I have to charge

65. lol. I remember that.

paraphrasing I think that was a misstep.-Jon Stewart

[frogcycle]

61. Yo, Ho, Blow the Man Down n/t

[IChing]

62. Bachman-Turner Overdrive "Taking care of Business"...

Taking care of business every day
Taking care of business every way
I've been taking care of business, it's all mine
Taking care of business and working overtime
Work out!

[shain from kane]

64. "You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet". Oh, Heck. Wasn't that Reagan's line?

[Radical Activist]

67. It was Gore's song.

One more lame thing about that campaign.

[Arugula Latte]

63. "You Deserve Better" by the Isley Bros.

:hide:

[ClassWarrior]

66. Hey bleev... this kid does a pretty good impression of you.

:rofl:

NGU.

[MonkeyFunk]

68. oh lighten up

people diss her for having no personality, and when she does something a little light-hearted, the seriousness-scolds jump on her.

It's a funny little piece - I enjoyed it.

[Honeycombe8]

69. Oh, come on. It's just something lighthearted and fun. No big deal.

Some people are losing their sense of humor and fun. It's no wonder why, in the midst of all this mess going on. But choosing a song...kind of a fun thing, actually.

[Forkboy]

73. I still think "Wiggly Worm" is a good fit for any politican.

[rodeodance]

74. Have a little fun folks! Geech!

[zulchzulu]

76. I Put A Spell On You by Screamin' Jay Hawkins

[dave_p]

77. The Fall - Hilary

OK, there's a "l" missing, but what the heck

Hilary
Where's the sixty quid you borrowed off me for the gas?
I won't give you a kiss
Hilary
Hey Hilary

That must fit with a campaign theme somehow.

Not one of their more exciting tunes, so MES might sell it cheap to keep himelf in lager for a couple of weeks.

[William769]

78. Need more be said about the op?

[More Than A Feeling]

79. I'd rather she asked me for my views on the issues, but the best campaign song for any democrat

has to be "Closer to Free" by the BoDeans.

[LWolf]

80. My suggestions:

"Trust Me" by Elton John

"Wooden Nickels" or "rags to rags" Eels

"Hero" by Darren Hayes
