Songs that make you think of the candidates?

[galaxy21]

Mccain- bomb, bomb, bomb Iran, obviously.

Barack Obama- changes by tupac.Espcially that line about having a black president.

Hillary- bitch by Meridith brooks...and before anyone starts, I mean that in a good way. It's the ultimate female enpowerment song. She should have had this as her campaign song rather than that awful celine dion song.


anymore?

6. Even though Dennis dropped out and Gore never re-upped

Gunslinger by John Fogerty
I know it's a stretch but sub in Kucinich for gunslinger

Lookin' out across this town
Kinda makes me wonder how
All the things that make us great
Got left so hard behind

This used to be a peaceful place
Decent folks hard workin' ways
Now they hide behind locked doors
Afraid to speak their minds

I think we need a gunslinger
Somebody tough to tame this town
I think we need a gunslinger
There'll be justice all around

Someone let the fences go
Wild eyed bunch moved in you know
Shootin' up the streets shoutin' everybody down
Dogs all runnin' loose

Wrecked the papers, closed the school
Tired old judge got roughed up too
No one left to make a stand
They whisper, "What's the use?"

I think we need a gunslinger
Somebody tough to tame this town
I think we need a gunslinger
There'll be justice all around

I think we need a gunslinger
Somebody tough to tame this town
I think we need a gunslinger
There'll be justice all around

I think we need a gunslinger
Somebody tough to tame this town
I think we need a gunslinger
There'll be justice all around

Long Dark Night also by John Fogerty http://www.videosift.com/video/John-Fogerty-on-Letterman-I-Cant-Take-it-No-More

Sub in Gore you'd better run for lord you better run

George is in the jungle
Knockin’ on the door
Come to get your children
Wants to have a war

Come on, lord you’d better run,
Be a long dark night before this thing is done

Brownie's in the outhouse
Katrina on the line
Government's a disaster
But George, he says it’s fine

Come on, lord you’d better run,
Be a long dark night before this thing is done

Rummy's in the kitchen messin’ with the pan
Dickie’s in the back stealing everything he can
Come on, Lord you’d better run,
Be a long dark night before this thing is done

You better run, you better run,
Lord you better run, Lord you better run,

Runnin’ down the highway
Shoutin’ to the Lord
George's got religion
And you know he can’t afford more, yeah

Come on, Lord you’d better run
Be a long dark night before this thing is done
Be a long dark night before this thing is done, oh Lord

:rofl: (Envision Bill riffing on this one...)

I've got sunshine on a cloudy day.
When it's cold outside I've got the month of May.
I guess you'd say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl (my girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl (my girl).

I've got so much honey the bees envy me.
I've got a sweeter song than the birds in the trees.
I guess you'd say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl (my girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl (my girl).

Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
Ooooh.

I don't need no money, fortune, or fame.
I've got all the riches baby one man can claim.
I guess you'd say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl (my girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl (my girl).

I've got sunshine on a cloudy day
with my girl.
I've even got the month of May
with my girl (fade)

15. All candidates: "You're So Vain."

[MyNameGoesHere]

16. Hmm

For Obama, "God Bless America, No I mean Goddamn America". it's kind of new so maybe you haven't heard it yet.

For Hillary. "Killer Queen" love ya Freddy wish you were still belting them out.

And for McStain "They're Coming To Take Me Away" by lard. Think Dr. Demento.

18. Clearly, as you say: Bar Bar Bar Bar Barbra Ann = McCain

What a shame that he appropriated a perfectly-good Beach Boys song!

And in 2006, we were singing it here in Texas for Barbara Ann Radnowsky, the Dem candidate for senator.

19. I have a whole playlist of Obama songs

But my favorite is "I Believe" by Blessed Union of Souls. I'm in the process of writing special Obama lyrics to that song.

26. If he'd been an atheist like his Mom, that would have been perfect.

Too bad he converted to deism.

24. Here are my re-writes of two old songs for Obama and Clinton

Sung to the tune of "Hey, Donna" "Oh-ba-ah-ma, oh-ba-ah-ma.."

Sung to the tune of "Blueberry Hill" - "I've found my thrill, by votin' for Hill..."

I can't think of one for McOldGuy that won't get my post deleted.

:hide:

[PBS Poll-435]

25. Obama - When You Were Young - The Killers

NT!

[intaglio]

27. OK, Obama - could be Hendrix

The Woodstock National Anthem;
or maybe Stones, "Little Red Rooster" or for a laugh "Paint it Black;
But personally it's John Lee Hooker "Boom,Boom,Boom,Boom"
