What kind of music do you think the Chimp likes?

[DemoTex]

Montavanni, perhaps? ABBA? German military music?

I think he digs The Monkees.

Here we come, walkin'
Down the street.
We get the funniest looks from
Ev'ry one we meet.
Hey, hey, we're the Monkees
And people say we monkey around.
But we're too busy singing
To put anybody down.

We go wherever we want to,
do what we like to do
We don't have time to get restless,
There's always something new.
Hey, hey, we're the Monkees
And people say we monkey around.
But we're too busy singing
To put anybody down.

We're just tryin' to be friendly,
Come and watch us sing and play,
We're the young generation,
And we've got something to say.

Any time, Or anywhere,
Just look over your shoulder
Guess who'll be standing there

Hey, hey, we're the Monkees
And people say we monkey around.
But we're too busy singing
To put anybody down.

(Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart)

[zekeson]

1. Kenny G

But he thinks it has a bit too much soul

[JohnyCanuck]

2. I think you can rule out anything by the Dixie Chicks n/t

n/t

[TheBigGuy]

3. this is actually an interesting question....

...I recall Clinton was sort of a rock fan, and also played sax, so we can assume he liked jazz. I know Hillary was a Fabian fan when she was in High School.

....so I am a bit curious as to what sounds Bush is into.

[MoonGod]

4. And we also know the Clinton's were Joni Mitchell fans...

... they named their daughter after one of her songs. :)

Fleetwood Mac, too.

[Ivar]

26. The Judy Collins version of the song

President Clinton cites (Judy) Collins' "Colors of the Morning" as his favorite album and also says it was her version of "Chelsea Morning" that inspired the naming of his daughter.

[AntiCoup2K4]

28. Does that mean "Send In The Clowns" should be the theme song for the......

current Fraudministration :evilgrin:

[MoonGod]

34. Ah... well... then... screw the Clintons...

... being Joni fans was one of the best things they had going for them as far as far as I was concerned.

:)

43. Hi Ivar!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[DemoTex]

25. It is an interesting question.

We know nothing of such aspects of Bu$h's life. It is bizzare. Maybe he likes Mahler and Bach. Who knows, really?

[LuLu550]

42. too complex for him

his iddy biddy brain couldn't follow it.
LuLu

[MuseRider]

5. As intellectually incurous

as he is I doubt he listens to much music. Do you remember during all the 911 services him rolling his eyes when this woman was singing? The next time they showed him he looked like he was about to fall asleep.

[madrchsod]

6. kinky freidman

(spelling) the "jewish cowboy" is one of pickles faves..

[zekeson]

8. It truly saddens me to know that

eom

[MoonGod]

11. Dunno about music, but in terms of art...

... I know that Pickles owns a few paintings by an old friend of my g/f's, Annabel Livermore. Actually, my g/f's friend is Jim Magee who is the only person on the face of the earth ever to have "met" Annabel.

[I AM SPARTACUS]

31. i.e. Asshole from El Paso...???

('course, the Smirkos might prefer "They Don't Make Jews Like Jesus Anymore"...)

We don't have no lovin's in el paso
We don't go to porno picture shows
We don't swap our wives with our neighbors
And we keep our kids away from mexico.

And i'm proud to be an asshole from el paso
A place where sweet young virgins are deflowered.
You walk down the street knee-deep in tacos
Ta-ta-ta-tacos
And the wetbacks still get twenty cents an hour.

We don't wipe our asses on old glory,
God and lone star beer are things we trust.
We keep our women virgins till they're married
So hosin' sheep is good enough for us.

35. I lived in El Paso for a while.

[ForrestGump]

7. Pat Boone's cover of "Helter Skelter" with overdubbed

sounds of agony and sizzling from victims of the electric chair. He could play it all day long.

[searchingforlight]

9. The Disneyesque Christian stuff.

[newyawker99]

44. Congrats brigadoon!! 200 posts

:toast:

[trotsky]

10. Both kinds.

Country AND Western.

[silverlib]

13. The Dixie Chicks...

...played at the inauguration, right? Isn't that one of the reasons he was so upset? ..like he needs a reason.

[mitchum]

12. Whatever Mr Karl is playing on the grind organ

The Chimp doesn't care, it all makes him dance and shake his little tin cup

[Best_man23]

40. But there is a slight difference

This Chimp hands out money to rich repugs.

[peekaloo]

14. bet he grooves to those chickens at the zoo

pecking out tunes on those tiny pianies.

[Character Assassin]

15. The Hokey-Pokey: put your left foot in, you put your right foot out....

Or, possible, the challenging, complex "I'm a Little Teapot".

Then again, few dare to pull off "The Wheels on the Bus", but, damn it all, if any president could, Georgie is that man.

[peekaloo]

16. remember his rendition of 'Itsy Bitsy Spider' with the schoolkids

had to watch the kids to coordinate his hand action! :+

[SummerGrace]

17. Early Beatles

Al Gore is certainly not alone in being a Beatles fan. George W. Bush also claims to be a big admirer of the Fab Four - though I could find no quotes from him describing their gestalt. He enthuses about how much he enjoyed their music in his youth. (Which as we now know stretched past his 30th birthday.) However Bush does add a caveat to his appreciation. "I liked their early stuff. They did some good records. But then they got a bit weird. I didn't like all that later stuff when they got strange."

[JohnKleeb]

24. I wonder how he inteprets it? just like he intepreted saving pvt ryan

I assume right? Like I saw Saving Private Ryan and wanted to honor the generation who fought that war, and he cut their benefits, same goes for the beatles i bet, "all you need is love.", all you need is war to dubya and war is love to dubya.

[KFC]

18. Country music, obviously

Loser music

[Syrinx]

39. There's a lot of good "country" music

I ain't talking about Toby Keith or Daryll Worley.

[JackSwift]

19. The Horst Wessel song?

.

[short bus president]

20. listens to "Helter Skelter" over and over and over

and then "Ride of the Valkyries" when he's on Air Force 2.

[Ishoutandscream]

21. He and Pickles have stated they are big Van Morrison fans

But I suspect the Boy King probably spins Neil Diamond records backwards for kicks.

[argyl]

23. Probably stopped listening after"Brown Eyed Girl" came out.

I'm sure he's also a huge fan of fellow texans Steve Earle and Michelle Shocked.

[newyawker99]

45. Congrats argyl!! 500 posts

[argyl]

52. Thanks.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

22. I imagine the theme from Barney has to be an all time favorite.

(slightly modified)

I love you

You love me

We're the B F E E

[GoddessOfGuinness]

27. Heavy Cash Register

Ca-chink ca-chink...

[sasquatch]

29. Lynard Skynard

He listens to it while doing lines of cocaine and playing Sony Playstation.

[newyawker99]

46. Congrats sasquatch!! 400 posts

30. I seriously get the impression

the doofus does not like music. He just seems utterly barren to me.

[Dover]

32. Barbara Streisand of course! Don't Rain On My Parade!

better known as

Don't Rain On My Charade

I'll march my armies out
I'll beat my drum
And if I'm found out
No turning back sir
I really had to fake it
drat sir
I guess I didn't make it...

I gotta lie once
I gotta cry once
Only can die once right sir?
Ooh, life's so juicy, juicy and you see,
I gotta have beer lite, sir.

Get ready for me world, 'cause I'm "the dumbya"
I simply gotta march, until it numbs ya
Don't bring around the press to rain on my charade,

I'm gonna live and live NOW!
Get what I want, I know how!
One nuke for the whole shebang!
One nuke that bomb will go bang,
Eye on the target and wham,
One shot, one gun shot and blam!
Hey, Mr. Who-sane, here I am ...

[HEyHEY]

33. Ted Nugent

for sure

[MoonGod]

36. Naw... that was back in his youth...

... he stopped listening to Nugent when he hit 40.

[Dover]

37. (Stevie Wonder)..........My Cheney Amour

....In a cafe or sometimes on a crowded street
I've been here for you, but you've never noticed me
My Cheney Amour, won't you tell me how could you ignore
That behind the little smirk I wore
How I wish that you were mine.

La la laaa laaa laaa la
La la laaa laaa la la

[Dover]

38. 99 bottles of near beer on the wall, 99 bottles of near beer

you take them all down and drink 'til you drown
no more bottles of near beer on the wall....

[Best_man23]

41. I Imagine Dubya

Has a copy of Asscroft's "Let the Eagle Soar" that he listens to on a regular basis.

[geniph]

47. I bet he likes BOTH kinds of music

country AND western!

No, actually I don't - that Connecticut cowboy probably listens to Muzak and PRETENDS to listen to country when he's pandering to his wealthy Texas friends.

[geniph]

48. Maybe he likes Country Joe and the Fish!

Gimme an "F"!

:D

[LuLu550]

49. "Elevator music"

It reminds him of going to the dentist.
