REM's "Ignoreland" for the GOP candidates

These bastards stole their power from the victims of the us v. them years,
Wrecking all things virtuous and true.
The undermining social democratic downhill slide into abysmal
Lost lamb off the precipice into the trickle down runoff pool.
They hypnotised the summer, nineteen seventy-nine.
Marched into the capital brooding duplicitous, wicked and able, media-ready,
Heartless, and labeled. super u.s. citizen, super achiever,
Mega ultra power dosing. relax.
Defense, defense, defense, defense. yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. ignoreland. yeah, yeah, yeah. ignoreland.

Wake up Everybody, no more sleepin in bed

No more backward thinking, time for thinking ahead

The world has changed so very much

from what it used to be

there is so much hatred, for equality

Wake up all the Teachers, time to teach a new way

Maybe then they'll listen, to what you have to say

They're the ones who's coming up and the world is in their hands

When you teach our children, teach them the very best you can

The world won't get no better, if we just let it be

The world won't get no better, we got to change it yeah, just you and me

Wake up all the doctors, make those old people well

They're the ones who suffer, and catch all the hell

They don't have so very long, before their judgement day

So won't you make them happy before they pass away

The world won't get no better, if we just let it be

The world won't get no better, we got to change it yeah, just you and me

Wake up all the people, time to build a new land

I know we can do it, if we all lend a hand

The only thing we have to do, is put them in our hands

This song is for Mr. Barack Obama's Campaign song.

Maybe I hang around here
A little more than I should
We both know I got somewhere else to go
But I got something to tell you
That I never thought I would
But I believe you really ought to know
 
I love you
I honestly love you
 
by Olivia Newton-John

And history ain't changed
'Cause the banners, they are flown in the next warMeet the new boss
Same as the old boss

Giuliani's Campaign Theme Song

Former New York mayor Giuliani is always entertaining, and he hasn’t disappointed. The most remarkable aspect of his candidacy is its complete immunity from anything that has actually happened in the last five years. For Rudy, it’s still 9/12 and always will be. And why not? He hasn’t felt so significant since – although his speaking fees have. He has no qualms about Iraq. It’s simple, after all. We just have to win.

His entire analysis of the war on terror can be reduced to the notion that we stay "on offense". Offense means anything aggressive, it appears. He wouldn’t rule out a nuclear strike on Iran, for example. He endorses “any methods necessary” to extract information from anyone who might seem like a terrorist.

He spoke of two recent terror plots – one involving a handful of loons who wanted to invade a military base, another a crew of Caribbeans who dreamt of blowing up JFK airport (they had no weapons and no firm plans) – as if they were an imminent threat to America’s very existence.

As his eyes flash through his wire-rim glasses, and he bobs up and down on his shiny corporate shoes, you can just see him drooling over the chance to fire a few missiles, round up a few immigrants, strip a few more Americans of habeas corpus rights and nuke Tehran. This is the man, remember, who banned ferret-ownership and jaywalking in New York City. Next stop: Falluja. Piece of cake.

Sullivan's right, for Rudy "it's still 9/12 and always will be." It reminds of the now classic Onion headline: Giuliani to Run For President of 9/11. And it got me thinking. Hillary Clinton recently held a contest to select the theme song for her campaign. With Giuliani there's no need for a contest. The choice is obvious: "Stuck in a Moment" by U2.

Jay Leno: "Hillary Clinton has picked 'You and I,' by Celine Dion, as her campaign theme song. In a related story, John McCain's campaign song also by Celine Dion. It's the theme from 'Titanic.'"

RUDY GIULIANI

Song: Where Were You (When the World Stopped Turning), Alan Jackson

Why: Because remember where I was? I was the mayor? Of New York? On 9/11? Have I mentioned that?

Sample lyric: "I'm just a singer of simple songs/ I'm not a real political man/ I watch CNN but I'm not sure I can tell you/ The difference in Iraq and Iran."

MITT ROMNEY

Song: Hatchet, Low

Why: This song by this critically acclaimed Mormon indie-rock band may be just the inspiration your campaign needs to reach out to blue-state America.

Sample lyric: "Let's bury the hatchet like the Beatles, the Beatles and the Stones/ Like the Beatles, the Beatles and the Stones."

JOHN McCAIN

Song: Straight Talk, Dolly Parton

Why: Your campaign needs a little mantra refresher.

Sample lyric: "Don't talk to me in circles in some mumbo-jumbo jive/ Gimme just straight talk, straight talk and we're gonna be alright."

Leave The White House! Bush, You’ve Failed!
(Sung to the tune of “A White Shade Of Pale” by Procul Harum)

(organ intro)

The Ripper, Bush, has strangled…
Our democracy; no more.
All while stealing power, he’s sick.
His crowd calls out, “More war!”

His doom is coming, harder.
Through elections, he will pay.
He’ll be thrown out; and his power we’ll shrink.
He’ll face impeachment day.

And that’s because… we’ve waited…
For this killer to be jailed.
Must impeach him first, but mostly…
Leave the White House!
Bush, you’ve failed!

(organ break)

He made war for no reason.
Hid the truth, from A to Z.
Through war, plundered oil; while slaying, scarred…
Iraq, no democracy.

While Mark Foley’s weird perversions
Turn Republicans to toast.
Karl Rove, through lies, is hopin’
The next elections don’t make him a ghost.

And that’s because… we’ve waited…
For this killer to be jailed.
Must impeach him first, but mostly…
Leave the White House!
Bush, you’ve failed!

(organ break)

And that’s because… we’ve waited…
For this killer to be jailed.
Must impeach him first, but mostly…
Leave the White House!
Bush, you’ve failed!

(instrumental ending)

Shania Twain - Man! I Feel Like A Woman!

I'm going out tonight-I'm feelin' alright
Gonna let it all hang out
Wanna make some noise-really raise my voice
Yeah, I wanna scream and shout
No inhibitions-make no conditions
Get a little outta line
I ain't gonna act politically correct
I only wanna have a good time

"It's Howdy Rudy Time.
It's Howdy Rudy Time."

Perley Thibodeau of Manhattan, evidently no fan of Giuliani, suggested the ex-mayor adopt the theme song from "The Howdy Doody Show."
