Help pick Hillary’s new campaign theme song
Update: I like Don Surber’s “Muskie.”
***
Hey, remember back in May when Hillary asked supporters to help her choose her new campaign theme song?
She picked Celine Dion’s “You and I,” but dropped the tune earlier this month. It’s time, in light of her teary-eyed performance today, to pick a new one, don’t you think?
My nominees:
A golden oldie: The Tears of a Clown…
Something contemporary: Big Girls Don’t Cry – Personal (Fergie)…
And a little R&B to show her funky diva side…Don’t Take It Personal (Just One of Dem Days)…
Taking up one of the commenters’ suggestions below, here’s Ella Fitzgerald’s version of “Cry Me A River:”

How about “Rodham,Rodham,Uber Alles”?
How about “Salt in my Tears”
Cause you never cared about me
You only hurt and deceive
I realize after all of these years
That you aint worth the salt in my tears
….or “96 Tears”
Cry Me a River.
The front page picture crys out for a caption contest!!!
Free Falling by Tom Petty
Cryin’ over you…
“They’re Coming To Take Me Away, Ha Ha”
“It’s my party and I’ll cry if I want to!”
…or …
“
EverybodyI Really Really Wantsto Rule the World” by Tears for Fears.oh … and EWWW!!! Didja have to use that pic on the front page Michelle?
Dang, Lan! Lol. You beat me to it.
People, people. There is only one song left:
Another one bites the dust.
It’s my party and I’ll cry if I want to.
Its the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine
How bout Loser by 3 doors down?
“You’re getting closer, to pushing me
Off of life’s little edge
Cause I’m a loser and sooner or later
You know I’ll be dead
You’re getting closer, you’re holding the
Rope and I’m taking the fall
Cause I’m a loser, I’m a loser, yeah”
Radiojoe1470 #10:
“Send in the Clowns”
It’s as if Hillary wrote it herself.
Songs come fast, see I was beaten.
I am with On-my-soap-box:
Queen, ‘Another One Bites the Dust’
“Get a Job”
“Hounddog.”
But my pick would be,
“Send in the Clowns”
Isn’t it rich, isn’t it queer?
Losing my timing this late in my career?
How about “Will you still love me — tomorrow?”
I need to type faster or work less.
‘girl, don’t go away mad…
girl, JUST GO AWAY’
If she is elected president I got her Inaugural song: Dies Irae (Mozart’s Requiem).
song:
My ding-a-ling
“Send in the Clowns”
Don’t you love farce?
My fault I fear
I thought that you’d want what I want…
Sorry my dear
Send in the clowns
Smoke Gets In Your Eyes:
While Bill did not inhale..I’m pretty sure Bob did. Both, however, would agree and choose…
No Woman, No Cry
The Day the Music Died
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xkDAykXwO_Q&feature=related
My second option is ‘Going Under’ by Evanescence.
Any song that references “bluring and stirring the truth and the lies…” along with “screaming, deceiving, and bleeding…” automatically has a Clinton feel to it.
Cry Baby Cry – The Beatles
She’s old enough to know better…..
We’re not limited to crying songs, right?
Although, in honor of her crocodile tears, how about the old children’s song “Never Smile at a Crocodile”?
I also think a little AC/DC’s “Dirty Deeds” is fitting.
Ugh, I can’t stand that Fergie song. Hmm… that actually makes it even more appropriate for Hill.
Metallica – “Sad But True” or “Ain’t My B*tch”
or
Korn – “Clown,” “Fake” or “Dead Bodies Everywhere” (hey, it is the Clintons after all *nyuk nyuk*)
With my apologies to the lads….
Cry Baby Cry
The (former) king of ‘Merica was in New Hampshire
Cooking lies up for the queen
The queen was in her tour bus
Playing human for
Supporters of the king.
Cry baby cry
Kiss your dream bye-bye
You’re old enough to know better
So cry baby cry.
The king was in the Oval
Picking cigars for a
friend who came to play
The queen was in the airplane
making corkscrew landings
Somewhere far away-ayay..…
Cry baby cry
Kiss your dream goodbye
You’re old enough o know better
So cry baby cry.
My first thought was from Sir Elton, “the bitch is back”. But then I thought of Janis Joplin singing “Cry Baby”.
How about Ring of Fire?
I went down down down in a burning ring of fire.
I am really enjoying watching the smartest woman in the world implode in her bid to become our Fuehrer for the Democrat led workers paradise of a nanny state. May all her chickens come to roost and may she reap all the bad karma she and her lying crapweasel rapist husband have sown!
It’s the night of the NH primary. Hillary has lost resoundingly and is in the hotel room alone with Bill and Bill is talking to himself about how in 1992 he took Merrimac County in New Hampshire by 11% points (he really does talk endlessly about this stuff) and Hillary sings to Bill from the classic Simply Red song: “Just say you love me all around the world…”.
“A little bitty tear let me down,
Spoiled my life as a clown,
I had it made up not to make a frown,
But a little bitty tear let me down.”
“Highway to Hell” AC/DC
No explanation needed.
The Doors
This is the end, the end my friend
Howsabout “Wipeout”
Black Dog…?
Sha Na Na – Tears on my Pillow
(Don’t even need to change the words)
You don’t remember me,
but I remember you
‘t was not so long ago,
you broke my heart in two
Tears on my pillow, pain in my heart, caused by you, you
If we could start anew,
I wouldn’t hesitate
I’d gladly take you back,
and tempt the hands of fate
Tears on my pillow, pain in my heart,
caused by you, you, you, you, you
Love is not a gadget,
love is not a toy
When you find the one you love,
he’ll fill your heart with joy
If we could start anew,
I wouldn’t hesitate
I’d gladly take you back,
and tempt the hands of fate
Tears on my pillow, pain in my heart, caused by you, you
Spent my money, took my car,
Started tellin her friends she wants to be a star.
I dont know but I been told
A big
leggedcankled woman aint got no soul.How about the good ol’ submarine song?
“Take Her Down.”
Cold as Ice by Foreigner
You’re as cold as ice
You’re willing to sacrifice our
lovelifeYou never take advice
Someday you’ll pay the price, I know
I’ve seen it before, it happens all the time
(Oooh-oooh) You’re closing the door, you leave the world behind
You’re digging for gold, yet throwing away
(Aaah-aaah) A fortune in
feelingsdonations, but someday you’ll pay…How about, we bring back the old “Shaving Cream” song… add some new verses. I think it would be most appropriate, as she is full of.. uh.. shaving cream.. be nice and clean.. shave everyday and you’ll always look keen..
I was thinking of something from the Rocky Horror Picture Show. “Touch Me I wanna be dirty”. Just need to tweek the lyrics a bit.
Hello Muddah – Hello Faddah
Hills been sliding – in da guttah
She was slipping – now she’s falling
Her final numbers, I do fear, will be appalling.
There’s Obama – rising slowly
And there’s Edwards – no longer lowly.
Got to think of – some newfound gimmick
Maybe crying at this next stop is the ticket.
Then there’s Billy – he’s out there stumping.
When he’s not – intern-a-bumping.
Got a phone call – said it’s from Hill.
He said “I love you” but we know it was really from James Carville.
What to do now – New Hampshire’s closing
Seems her campaign – is still dozing.
Nothing’s working – she’s free-falling.
Maybe she should have found another calling.
Wait a minute – things are moving
Seems her numbers – are improving
Must have been those – tears a fallin…
Maybe next stop she’ll start a full force bout of ballin…
Sha Na Na…Goodnight sweetheart, it’s time to go…
Do-doo-do-do-doo
Good one Texas Tiger!
Patsy Cline’s version of Crazy
Dual purpose – the electorate and Bill!
#48
Did you come up with that on your own? It’s pretty funny!
Of course.. a better fit.. ‘Crybaby’ by Janus Joplin.
“Bat Out of Hell” would be more suitable.
Wow, listening to the tape of Hillary “crying” is almost enough to make me puke!
I’m with Tennessee Dave #38!
Good one.
I was thinking it is a tossup between two Santana songs, “Evil Ways” or “Black Magic Woman”, but I may have to go with “Tears On My Pillow” after all.
The best sounding lament would be Johnny Ray’s querulous Cry.
Cry to ME by The Rolling Stones…she knows it.
“Leaky Little Boat”?
“And the tide come in and the tide go out
And the waves they came toss my little boat about
And the sky turn black and the sky turn blue
I got no pail, no sail, no anchor, too
Just a leaky little boat”
Jimi Hendrix’s “Manic Depression”?
“…
Manic Depression’s a frustrating mess.
Well, I think I’ll go turn myself off an’ go on down.
Really ain’t no use me hanging around.
Oh, I gotta see you.”
Navywife – yes I did – and Thank you
I Wanna be Sedated by The Ramones
Twenty-twenty-twenty four hours to go I wanna be sedated

LMAO jrl…..Ha!
Tears of a clown. Excellent theme song for Hillary!
Maybe now’s the time for a gender-reversed “Stand by my man” — where Bill sings about standing by my ‘girl’?
Hank, no need to change the words!
“Runnin with the devil’ – Van Halen
I live my life like theres no tomorrow
And all I’ve got I had to steal
Least I don’t need to beg or borrow
Yes I’m living at a pace that kills
Runnin’ with the devil
Runnin’ with the devil
I found the simple life ain’t so simple
When I jumped out on that road
I got no love, no love you’d call real
Ain’t got nobody waiting at home
Runnin’ with the devil
Runnin’ with the devil
“The Party’s Over” by Nat King Cole
DING DONG! THE WITCH IS DEAD
Munchkins
Ding Dong! The Witch is dead. Which old Witch? The Wicked Witch!
Ding Dong! The Wicked Witch is dead.
Wake up – sleepy head, rub your eyes, get out of bed.
Wake up, the Wicked Witch is dead. She’s gone where the goblins go,
Below – below – below. Yo-ho, let’s open up and sing and ring the bells out.
Ding Dong’ the merry-oh, sing it high, sing it low.
Let them know
The Wicked Witch is dead!

In honor of her “crying” today, how about that Chicago song (the one that Butters on South Park sings all the time)…”If you leave me now, you’ll take away the biggest part of me.”
Easy. H-A-T-R-E-D by Tonio K
*Now I know it’s not unusual
There’s nothing so unique
There’s probably hundreds of wonderful love affairs
That go bad in this town every week
(It’s a big town)
But all of them others
Them sad hearted lovers
Could cry in their beer what the hey
It didn’t concern me
Was none of my business
I never had nothing to say
But suddenly darlin’
The table has turned
You have left me for somebody new
And it’s now it’s hard
To express the resentment I feel
For the years that I wasted on you
But let me put this another way
Okay
I’m so full of
H-a-t-r-e-d
I’m bitter I’m malign
You got me
P-i-s-s-e-d-O
I’m angry most of the time
Why don’t you
G-o-t-o-h-e-double “l”

“The Tide is High.” Blondie, circa 1980’s?. The tide is high I wanna be your #1………..
“Bad like Jesse James” by John Lee Hooker.
“Face it Girl, It’s Over” by Nancy Wilson.
Fleetwood Mac’s “Tell me lies, tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies.”
Slick Willie used a Fleetwood Mac song, it should have been this one
A Gerry Goffin and Carole King tune comes to mind, ‘Go Away, Little Girl’. The ‘62 Steve Lawrence arrangement comes to mind.
Toby Keith’s, As Good as I Once Was:
There was a good ‘Loser’ reference back there, but
‘Seeger’s – Beautiful Loser’ is almost fitting except for the ‘Beautiful’ part.
After the Love is Gone
-Earth Wind & Fire
(Only the first two verses, to save space)
For awhile to love was all we could do
We were young and we knew
And our eyes were alive
Deep inside we knew our love was true
For awhile we paid no mind to the past
We knew love would last
Evry night somethin right
Would invite us to begin the dance
Somethin happened along the way
What used to be happy was sad
Somethin happened along the way
And yesterday was all we had
And oh after the love has gone
How could you lead me on
And not let me stay around
Oh oh oh afterthe love has gone
What used to be right is wrong
Can love thats lost be found
Someone mentioned “Bat Out Of Hell.”
Perhaps another song by Mr. Loaf might describe how her marriage came to be:
“Paradise By The Dashboard Lights.”
Bill isn’t the only one prayin’ for the end of time for her.
I’d offer “Runnin’ on Empty” by Jackson Browne, but that pretty much describes the entire Donkey candidate field.
So how about “Po, Po, Pitiful Me” by Linda Rondstadt?
“There Coming to Take Me Away, Haha!”
comes to my mind or wishful thinking!
“Chain of Fools”….Aretha Franklin
“C(r)acklin’ Rosie” Neil Diamond
ooops, “They’re Coming to Take Me Away”
Undun, by The Guess Who
She’s come undun
She didn’t know what she was headed for
And when I found what she was headed for
It was too late
She’s come undun
She found a mountain that was far too high
And when she found out she couldn’t fly
It was too late
It’s too late
She’s gone too far
She’s lost the sun
She’s come undun
She wanted truth but all she got was lies
Came the time to realize
And it was too late…
How ’bout the simple, slave-spiritual classic:
“No-body knows…..da trouble I seen?”
Since I can’t sue for pre-emptive perjury(Tears of A Clown was my first choice),I just hope it doesn’t turn into Hotel California—”they stab it with their steely knives,but they just can’t kill the Beast”.
Well, an Alanis Morissette tune comes readily to mind…
There is so much to that song that I see relating to Hillary that it gives me cold chills. Like the song implies, you either love her or hate her, there really is no middle ground.
“It’s Over” by Roy Orbison
Johnny Cash “Cry Cry Cry“
When I hear [read] that Bill allegedly told Hill that he allegedly loves her, it makes me want to smack his lyin’ face. If anyone has proven that they love nobody but themselves, it is that disgusting narcissist, Bill Clinton.
The best definition of, ‘Narcissism’:
“Erotic pleasure derived from one’s admiration or contemplation of one’s own body or self…”.
If that doesn’t describe Bill Clinton, I don’t know what does.
“I fall to Pieces” by Patsy Cline
“Crazy”
Sorry,I meant pre-emptive plagiarism.
Bob #77
The Clintons have affection for Fleetwood mac songs. Wasn’t “Don’t stop” their campaign theme in 1992?
vickisoup
I could think a few more choice words to describe Bill, but I enjoy blogging on MM too much…
Come on guys…isn’t it obvious?
The Bitch is Back by Elton John
I was justified when I was five
Raising cane, I spit in your eye
Times are changing, now the poor get fat
But the fever’s gonna catch you when the bitch gets back
Eat meat on Friday that’s alright
Even like steak on a Saturday night
I can bitch the best at your social do’s
I get high in the evening sniffing pots of glue
I’m a bitch, I’m a bitch
Oh the bitch is back
Stone cold sober as a matter of fact
I can bitch, I can bitch
`Cause I’m better than you
It’s the way that I move
The things that I do
I entertain by picking brains
Sell my soul by dropping names
I don’t like those, my God, what’s that
Oh it’s full of nasty habits when the bitch gets back
