The thing I don't get about all the candidates is...

[robsul82]

...what their various campaign songs will be. This is often the most fun of campaigns, hehe. From Clinton's "Don't Stop" to Bush's "Won't Get Fooled Again," *barf*, it's amusing to think about what could be. Any other thoughts, let me know.

Carol Moseley-Braun - Toploader's "Achilles Heel."
Al Sharpton - Saliva's "King of My World."
Bob Graham - Splender's "The Loneliest Person I Know."
Dennis Kucinich - John Rzeznik's "I'm Still Here."
Joe Lieberman - Seether's "Fade Away," Check 7's "The Holy Man in a Holier Land," or Snoop Dogg's "From Da Chuuch to Da Palace." Now that'd be funny.
Dick Gephardt - 27 Variation's "The 4th and 10 Hero Immaculate."
John Edwards - Luther Vandross' "Dance with My Father."
John Kerry - Montgomery Gentry's "Didn't I."
Howard Dean - Breaking Point's "One of a Kind" or Marc Cohn's "Healing Hands." Not that craptastic "We Can" song, that's horrible.

Now, if General Wesley Clark runs, that would be a no-brainer - Dispatch's "The General."

-----------------

there was a decorated general with
a heart of gold, that likened him to
all the stories he told
of past battles, won and lost, and
legends of old a seasoned veteran in
his own time

on the battlefield, he gained
respectful fame with many metals
of bravery and stripes to his name
he grew a beard as soon as he could
to cover the scars on his face
and always urged his men on

but on the eve of a great battle
with the infantry in dream
the old general tossed in his sleep
and wrestled with its meaning
he awoke from the night
just to tell what he had seen
and walked slowly out of his tent

all the men held tall with their
chests in the air, with courage in
their blood and a fire in their stare
it was a grey morning and they all
wondered how they would fare
till the old general told them to go home


I have seen the others
and I have discovered
that this fight is not worth fighting
I have seen their mothers
and I will no other
to follow me where I'm going

Take a shower, shine your shoes
you got no time to lose
you are young men you must be living
go now you are forgiven

but the men stood fast with their
guns on their shoulders not knowing
what to do with the contradicting orders
the general said he would do his own
duty but would not extend it no further
the men could go as they pleased

not a man moved, their eyes glazed
straight ahead till one by one they
stepped back and not a word was said
and the old general was left with his
own words echoing in his head
he then prepared to fight



go now you are forgiven

-------------------

See? That's an easy one. ;)

For ol' Shrub, hmm. Maybe Barenaked Ladies' "This is Where It Ends." Perhaps Blindside's "Pitiful." Hell, I'll just go with Don Henley's classic, "The End of the Innocence."

What do all of you think, let me know.

Later.
