Song Recommendation

June 21st, 2007 | Tags:

Jon comments on Senator Clinton’s selection of a theme song for her campaign:

[S]he has Celine Dion’s “You and I” as the campaign’s official theme song. Ms Dion is Canadian!! There were no American singers available? And it was chosen by a web-contest? What this tells me is that Hillary wants to be popular. A theme song is supposed to inspire, to let us know what you believe in. Hillary tells me that she wants a popular song, and that she doesn’t have enough confidence to voice an opinion on a song she likes.

My roommate for my Sophomore year of college came up with the best campaign song (particularly for a Presidential campaign): Megadeth’s Peace Sells

What do you mean, I don’t believe in god?
I talk to him every day.
What do you mean, I don’t support your system?
I go to court when I have to.
What do you mean, I cant get to work on time?
I got nothing better to do
And, what do you mean, I don’t pay my bills?
Why do you think I’m broke? huh?

Chorus
If theres a new way,
I’ll be the first in line.
But, it better work this time.

What do you mean, I hurt your feelings?
I didn’t know you had any feelings.
What do you mean, I ain’t kind?
I’m just not your kind.
What do you mean, I couldn’t be president, of the United States of America?
Tell me something, its still we the people, right?

Chorus (repeat)

If theres a new way I’ll be the first in line, but, it better work this time. can you put a price on peace?
Peace,
Peace sells…,
Peace,
Peace sells…,
Peace sells…,but who’s buying?
Peace sells…,but who’s buying?
Peace sells…,but who’s buying?
Peace sells…,but who’s buying?
No, peace sells…

    you know, the metal genre didn’t even cross my mind.
    I do believe though that the best protest songs of the current age are not by some Bob Dylan wannabe, but instead by metal, or rap artists.

    “…And Justice for All”
