Who would McCain have given the Gershwin to?

[Ken Burch]

Poll question: Who would McCain have given the Gershwin to?

We can assume it wouldn't have been Stevie, or anyone at all listenable for that matter. Make your guesses here:

[Kittycat]

1. Chuck Norris

Because he wants to firm up the crazy Huckabee support channel for his 2012 run. It doesn't matter that Chuck isn't a musician - Joe wasn't really a plumber, and Palin wasn't really VP material, and McCain will never be a President.

[Ken Burch]

2. It has to go to a musician.

Still, they might've talked Chuck into putting out a single just to make eligibility.

[Kittycat]

5. Chuck could just karate dance to Kung Fu Fighting.

Then they could overlay the woosh, crash, bang, thump sounds on to the track, and call it body music.

Besides, since when do GOP Presidents care about rules, especially a pesky one requiring a person to actually be the profession required.

3. It would've been ABBA for "Dancing Queen" (no.. seriously!!!)

.
.

Remember them talking about that during the election?

JOHN McCAIN

1. Dancing Queen ABBA
2. Blue Bayou Roy Orbison
3. Take a Chance On Me ABBA
4. If We Make It Through December Merle Haggard
5. As Time Goes By Dooley Wilson
6. Good Vibrations The Beach Boys
7. What A Wonderful World Louis Armstrong
8. I've Got You Under My Skin Frank Sinatra
9. Sweet Caroline Neil Diamond
10. Smoke Gets In Your Eyes The Platters

4. Hank Williams Jr of course. It's McCain-Palin tradition, dontchaknow!

[FrenchieCat]

7. Boy, that guy couldn't sing worth anything!

I mean it was bad!

[Frank Booth]

6. Tony Clifton.

[Ken Burch]

10. Well, McCain probably THINKS Clifton sang at his rallies

n/t.

[mtnester]

8. Jethro Tull

[DangerousRhythm]

14. Hey now! Tull = awesome.

And not that they aren't also awesome, he'd have given the Gershwin to ABBA. ;)

[Ken Burch]

15. And I don't think we have any evidence that Ian Anderson and Co. actually HAVE right-wing politics

Playing the flute while standing on one leg doesn't make you a Tory(and no, I never thought I'd write that last line either).

[MiniMe]

9. Wayne Newton?

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

11. Mozart, because that was the last concert he attended. (nt)

[sunnybrook]

12. OK I'll play along

but this was not Obama's decision was it? It was in the works already.

[TTUBatfan2008]

13. Obama had nothing to do with it...

I read an article that said the Bush administration applied for it at some point last year.

[Vinca]

16. Myron Floren (accordian player for Lawrence Welk). nt

[Taverner]

17. "Hmmm see now, who wrote that "Love in my tummy" song?"

[Ken Burch]

19. Don't know who wrote it. It was performed by the 1910 Fruitgum Company

And I'm deeply ashamed that I know that.

[Hanse]

18. "SPEAK UP, SONNY! WOZZAT?'"

"THEY GAVE LITTLE GEORGIE GERSWHIN AN AWARD? I HAVE HIS LATEST WAX CYLINDER IMPRESSION!"

[Ken Burch]

20. "CAN MY FRIEND TOM EDISON PRESENT THE AWARD?"

"I HAVE TO PEE...RIGHT NOW...OH NOOOOOOOHHHH!"
