Apparently Hillary Clinton is turning to the American public for her new campaign song. Spin Magazine has thrown out a few options, including Bikini Kill’s “Rebel Girl,” Hole’s “Miss World,” Depeche Mode’s “Policy of Truth,” Magnetic Fields’ “I Don’t Believe You” and Missy’s “She’s a Bitch.”
I was thinking Camera Obscura – “Let’s Get Out of this Country?” Or “Anything You Can Do I Can do Better” from Annie Get Your Gun? She could even dance on stage with Claire Danes and exchange pants! That would not only get my vote, but show America who wears the pants in the White House. However this might make me wish that Doris Day and Robert Goulet would be running mates.
Any ideas Brooklyn Skeptic?
Bombs over Baghdad?
Choice lyric: Don’t pull the thang out, unless you plan to bang!
[Choir] Bombs over Baghdad!
I think “thang” in this situation means “troops” and so it relates to her position on the war in Iraq.
Lou Reed’s “Sad Song”?
“She seemed very regal to me
Just goes to show how wrong you can be
I’m gonna stop wastin’ my time
Somebody else would have broken both of her arms”
courtesy of gothamist, her actual songs to vote for:
The choices: “City of Blinding Lights” – U2, “Beautiful Day” – U2, “I’m a Believer” – Smash Mouth’s cover of the Monkees’ song, “Get Ready” – The Temptations, “Right Here, Right Now” – Jesus Jones, “Suddenly I See” – KT Tunstall, “Ready to Run” – Dixie Chicks, “Rock This Country!” – Shania Twain, “I’ll Take You There” – The Staple Singers
I know that it’s really easy to focus on Enron and Halliburton on issues of bribery and corruption, but what about Bono? How much of a kickback is U2 getting these days?
Anyway, the song from the Shrek commercial? WTF Hil?? And didn’t someone already use Beautiful Day? Or was that a Pepsi commercial?
oh wait I’m thinking of Crystal Pepsi using ‘right here right now’, am I?
Haha. I just voted for the Shania Twain song.
And you can too! http://www.hillaryclinton.com/action/spotlight/?sc=8
I voted for Get Ready by the Temptations.
It would be funny if she went the Gob Bluth route and had “Solid as a Rock” as her campaign song. Then she would sabotage herself and Obama would win. Not that he needs it….
I voted for “I’m a Believer” just to make pizappas angry. Just kidding. You all know I don’t vote.
Pizapples…you’re thinking of “right now” by van halen. “right here, right now” by jesus jones is different. but man, the late 80s and early 90s were totally obsessed with themselves.
[…] that we here at Brooklyn Skeptic have all been waiting with bated breath since she announced her nominees. And now it’s been announced! But first, please, sit through this Sopranos spoof thing where […]
