New Hillary Clinton Campaign Theme Song Suggestions

I'm suggesting "Not Going Away" by Ozzie Osbourne.

Any others?

A lovely little ditty from the Great Depression: Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?

Call it wishful thinking, but how about this song? (Note: not by Rick Astley.)

I'm not sure she would get it.

Here's a link to the Ozzie Osbourne song too.

How 'bout this one?

I got a Hillary Clinton soundtrack that I play almost daily. Here's about 1/5th of the songs on the playlist:

Institution - Suicidal Tendencies Crazy - Aerosmith Bag Lady - Erykah Badu Insane in the Brain - Cypress Hill Too Much, Too Little, Too Late - Denise Williams and a guys... Maniac - That song from Flashdance Good Morning Heartache - Billie Holiday Wargasm - L7 You'll Never Find - Lou Rawls Don't Go Away Mad (Just Go Away) - Motley Crue Little Miss Can't Be Wrong - whoever sings that horribleness Take a Bow - Madonna. Basket Case - Green Day Used to be My Girl - O'Jays Maneater - Hall & Oates Jesus Christ Pose - Soundgarden Cry Me River - Julie London Walk on By - Dionne Warwick Never Gonna Get it - En Vogue Backstabbers - O'Jays

My Obama playlist is a little less cynical, but it's also not as long:

Smooth Operator - Sade Ladykiller - Lush What a Man - Salt n Pepa Them There Eyes - Billie Holiday Loving You - Minnie Riperton (okay, I'm a cheeseball) Use Me - Bill Withers If Loving You is Wrong - Millie Jackson The Way You Make me Feel - Michael Jackson Ain't No Mountain - Marvin Gaye & Tammy Terrell

There's an old song by Poe you might enjoy, "Trigger Happy Jack," with the refrain, "You Can't Talk to a Psycho Like a Normal Human Being."

(No, I don't think HRC is a psycho. But it does fit the playlist.)

Fans of Golden Earring ("Twilight Zone") can sing along:

"McCain-Lite Zone"

It's 3 A.M. ...
Somewhere in a lonely campaign hall
There's a candidate starting to realize
That eternal fate has turned its back on her...

It's three a.m.
The fear's turned on
I'm sitting here waitin'
But supporters are gone
Maybe America is tired of fear-baiting tactics?

Yeah, there were votes, I'm going to lose, Obama's ahead.
I'm wrapped up in polling, my numbers are dead
I cannot catch up
My campaign spins into a frenzy.

Help, I stepped into the McCain-Lite zone!
That place is a madhouse
My chance I have blown
To the right I have moved, but I'm still under par
Where am I to go
Now that I've gone too far?

You went Rove, you know,
When you called the 3am phone.
Soon you will come to know
That the voters hate a clone!

----
(mega-apologies to Golden Earring)

American Pie...

Bye, bye Miss American Pie. Drove my Chevy to the levy but the levy was dry.
