Help pick Hillary’s new campaign theme song

By Michelle Malkin  •  January 7, 2008 03:04 PM

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:”

    I think this one says it all:

    “B*tch”

    I hate the world today
    You’re so good to me
    I know but I can’t change
    Tried to tell you
    But you look at me like maybe
    I’m an angel underneath
    Innocent and sweet
    Yesterday I cried
    Must have been relieved to see
    The softer side
    I can understand how you’d be so confused
    I don’t envy you
    I’m a little bit of everything
    All rolled into one

    Chorus:
    I’m a b*tch, I’m a lover
    I’m a child, I’m a mother
    I’m a sinner, I’m a saint
    I do not feel ashamed
    I’m your hell, I’m your dream
    I’m nothing in between
    You know you wouldn’t want it any other way

    I think we all forgot the most obvious one … Crying … Roy Orbison …

    I was all right for a while,
    I could smile for a while
    But I saw you last night,
    you held my hand so tight
    As you stopped to say “Hello”
    Ah you wished me well, you couldn’t tell

    That I’d been crying over you,
    crying over you
    Then you said “so long”
    left me standing all alone
    Alone and crying, crying, crying, crying
    It’s hard to understand but the touch of your hand
    Can start me crying

    I thought that I was over you but it’s true, oo so true
    I love you even more than I did before
    but darling what can I do
    For you don’t love me and I’ll always be

    Crying over you, crying over you
    Yes, now you’re gone and from this moment on
    I’ll be crying

    I thought that I was over you but it’s true, oo so true
    I love you even more than I did before but darling what can I do
    For you don’t love me and I’ll always be

    Crying over you, crying over you
    Yes, now you’re gone and from this moment on
    I’ll be crying

    crying, crying, crying
    Yeah crying, crying, crying over you

    Pigs by Pink Floyd

    Big man, pig man, ha ha charade you are.
    You well heeled big wheel, ha ha charade you are.
    And when your hand is on your heart,
    You’re nearly a good laugh,
    Almost a joker,
    With your head down in the pig bin,
    Saying “Keep on digging.”
    Pig stain on your fat chin.
    What do you hope to find.
    When you’re down in the pig mine.
    You’re nearly a laugh,
    You’re nearly a laugh
    But you’re really a cry

    Jonathan Coulton, “Someone is crazy”
    Is Bitter there?
    I’d rather talk to her than Disappointed
    Though she’s not quite as fun as Good and Mad Better put her on
    She can change the game
    She can make me say I’m sorry

    You throw your hands up in the air and swear you didn’t know
    You think the world revolves around you but it doesn’t so you sit and spin
    Baby someone is crazy and it’s you
    Someone is crazy and it’s you
    You set the trap
    You lie and wait till someone trips the wire
    Then you jump out to get your feelings hurt
    And you act surprised
    How did that get there?
    Why does everybody hate me?

    We’re all familiar with the tragedy of being you
    It’s hard to show you any sympathy when all you do is beg for pain Baby someone is crazy and it’s you
    You’re all alone
    Well maybe that’s because you’re so unpleasant
    You might consider dialing back a bit
    Put those claws away
    Stop the waterworks
    Spend a couple evenings sober

    The world’s against you so you think or maybe wish it was
    And at least that way someone would care but baby no one does
    Not even you
    Baby someone is crazy and it’s you
    Someone is crazy and it’s you

    How about Dead Skunk in The Middle of the Road

    Crossin’ the highway late last night
    She shoulda looked left and she shoulda looked right
    She didn’t see the station wagon car
    The skunk got squashed and there you are!

    (Chorus)
    You got yer
    Dead skunk in the middle of the road
    Dead skunk in the middle of the road
    You got yer dead skunk in the middle of the road

    Take a whiff on me, that ain’t no rose!
    Roll up yer window and hold yer nose
    You don’t have to look and you don’t have to see
    ‘Cause you can feel it in your olfactory

    (Repeat Chorus)
    You got yer
    Dead skunk in the middle of the road
    Dead skunk in the middle of the road
    You got yer dead skunk in the middle of the road
    Stinkin’ to high Heaven!

    Yeah you got yer dead cat and you got yer dead dog
    On a moonlight night you got yer dead toad frog
    Got yer dead rabbit and yer dead raccoon
    The blood and the guts they’re gonna make you swoon!

    (Repeat Chorus – One more time!)
    You got yer
    Dead skunk in the middle of the road
    Dead skunk in the middle of the road
    You got yer dead skunk in the middle of the road
    Stinkin’ to high Heaven!

    C’mon stink!

    You got it!
    It’s dead, it’s in the middle
    Dead skunk in the middle!
    Dead skunk in the middle of the road
    Stinkin’ to high heaven!
    All over the road, technicolor man!
    Oh, you got pollution
    It’s dead, it’s in the middle
    And it’s stinkin’ to high, high Heaven!

    How about “There’s A Tear In My Beer” by Hank Williams and Hank Jr.

    “Tears” by Rush

    “Tears In The Rain” by Triumph

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hpoPMD6sR0

    “We passed the point of no return
    How can we make amends?
    All alone I watch the candle burn
    Burnin´ at both ends
    Nothin´s ever gonna change
    Can tears wash away this pain?
    CHORUS:
    Tears in the rain
    Here it comes again
    I´ll never know the reason why
    I cry these tears in the rain
    The time has come to make a stand
    We´ve waited much too long
    Nobody´s gonna lead us by the hand
    How could we be so wrong?
    We lost the chance to play this game
    Can tears wash away this pain?
    CHORUS
    So many times I´ve wondered why
    We still play this game”
    CHORUS

    My nomination is Madonna’s version of “Don’t Cry For Me Argentina” except substituting Venezuela for Argentina. Parenthesis are my additions etc.
    “It won’t be easy, you’ll think it strange (yup)
    When I try to explain how I feel
    That I still need your love after all that I’ve (and Bill) done
    You won’t believe me (damned straight!)
    All you will see is a girl (say what?) you once knew
    Although she’s dressed up to the nines
    At sixes and sevens with you (she’s just a commoner don’t ya know)
    I had to let it happen, I had to change (to Socialism)
    Couldn’t stay all my life down at heel (as you all will after my coronation)
    Looking out of the window, staying out of the sun (vampires and sun don’t mix well ya know)
    So I chose freedom (except for the middle class who I am gonna tax the hell out of)
    Running around, trying everything new (Marx, Lenin, a little Castro and Che [love the beret, it’s so en vogue])
    But nothing impressed me at all (well, maybe all of your money that I’m going to have such a delicious time wasting)
    I never expected it to
    Don’t cry for me Venezuela The truth is I never left you
    All through my wild days
    My mad existence (current as well as former)
    I kept my promise
    Don’t keep your distance (except for you little bia***es chasing my Willy-boy or you’re gonna get Vince Fostered. Do you hear me? Fostered!!)…

    In stark contrast to the “Don’t Stop Thinking About Tomorrow” theme song of the Bill Clinton campaign:

    Gold Dust Woman – Fleetwood Mac

    Rock on–gold dust woman
    Take your silver spoon,
    And dig your grave

    Heartless challenge
    Pick your path and I’ll pray

    Wake up in the morning
    See your sunrise–loves–to go down
    Lousy lovers–pick their prey
    But they never cry out loud

    Did she make you cry
    Make you break down
    Shatter your illusions of love
    Is it over now–do you know how
    Pick up the pieces and go home.

    Rock on–ancient queen
    Follow those who pale
    In your shadow

    Rulers make bad lovers
    You better put your kingdom up for sale

    Did she make you cry
    Make you break down
    Shatter your illusions of love
    Is it over now–do you know how
    Pick up the pieces and go home.

    Really, how can you run on a platform of “change” when you lived at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave for 8 years? She is “the establishment.” Really, anyone who wants our government to be like it was intended is derided as crazy. Look at Ron Paul.

    “How does it feel
    How does it feel
    To be without a home
    Like a complete unknown
    Like a rolling stone?

    You’ve gone to the finest school all right, Miss Lonely
    But you know you only used to get juiced in it
    And nobody has ever taught you how to live on the street
    And now you find out you’re gonna have to get used to it
    You said you’d never compromise
    With the mystery tramp, but now you realize
    He’s not selling any alibis
    As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes
    And ask him do you want to make a deal?

    How does it feel
    How does it feel
    To be on your own
    With no direction home
    Like a complete unknown
    Like a rolling stone?”

    Into these last nine beers
    I have shed a million tears.
    You are on my lonely mind
    I’m gonna keep drinkin’
    until I’m petrified.
    And then maybe these tears
    will leave my eyes.

    Last night I walked the floor
    and the night before
    You are on my lonely mind.
    It seems my life is through
    and I’m so doggone blue
    You are on my lonely mind.
    I’m gonna keep drinkin’
    till I can’t move a toe
    and then maybe my heart
    won’t hurt me so.

    Lord, I’ve tried and I’ve tried
    But my tears I can’t hide
    You are on my lonely mind.
    All these blues that I’ve found
    Have really got me down
    You are on my lonely mind
    I’m gonna keep drinkin’ till I can’t even think

    One last suggestion …

    The Eagles … Witchy Woman

    Raven hair and ruby lips
    Sparks fly from her finger tips
    Echoed voices in the night
    She’s a restless spirit on an endless flight
    Wooo hooo witchy woman, see how
    High she flies
    Woo hoo witchy woman she got
    The moon in her eye
    She held me spellbound in the night
    Dancing shadows and firelight
    Crazy laughter in another
    Room and she drove herself to madness
    With a silver spoon
    Woo hoo witchy woman see how high she flies
    Woo hoo witchy woman she got the moon in her eye
    Well I know you want a lover,
    Let me tell your brother, she’s been sleeping
    In the devil’s bed.
    And there’s some rumors going round
    Someone’s underground
    She can rock you in the nighttime
    ’til your skin turns red
    Woo hoo witchy woman
    See how high she flies
    Woo hoo witchy woman
    She got the moon in her eye

    I hear the sirens wail
    Somebody going to emergency (guess Hsu?)
    Somebody’s going to jail (guess Hsu?)If you find somebody to love in this world
    You better hand on tooth and nail
    The wolf is always at the door

    In a New York Minute
    Everything can change
    In a New York Minute
    Things can get a little strange
    In a New York Minute
    Everything can change
    In a New York Minute

    And in these days
    When darkness falls early
    And people rush home
    To the ones they love
    You better take a fool’s advice
    And take care of your own
    One day they’re here;
    Next day they’re gone

    Here’s an old musical number from Royal Wedding that could be a duet from Bill & Hillary, or could be Hillary speaking to the voters:

    How could you believe me when I said I loved you when you know I’ve been a liar all my life

    You’ve had that reputation since you was a youth

    You must have been insane to think I’d tell you the truth!

    Video is here.

    It’s supposed to run over 6 minutes. It cuts out after about three, but it still gives a good chunk of the lyrics.

    You sure have been a liar

    A double-crossing liar

    I’m So Bad Baby I Don’t Care

    I make love to mountain lions,
    Sleep on red-hot branding irons,
    When I walk the roadway shakes,
    Bed’s a mess of rattlesnakes,
    Voodoo child, black cat bone,
    Scratch your back, hear you moan,
    Get me up, you go down, tall building, single bound,
    War and peace, peace and love, say it if you dare,
    Iron fist, velvet glove,
    I’m so bad, baby I don’t care,
    Black-hearted to the bone,
    Older than The Rolling Stones,
    Been to heaven, been to hell,
    Bought the farm, and I won’t sell,
    Give and take, rise and fall, rise up and take it all,
    Secret love, I won’t tell, knock you up and ring your bell,
    Kiss the whip, eat the gun,
    Tell me it ain’t fair, midnight victim, hit and run,
    I’m so bad, baby I don’t care,
    I make the blind to see,
    Shoot ‘em full of R and B,
    I make the lame to walk,
    Come ’round and pop your cork,
    Wham, bam, thank you ma’am,
    I thought I heard the back door slam,
    Overkill, walk the line, kill the lights, it’s lampshade time,
    On the road, on the lam, people running scared,

    Love Me, I’m a Liberal

    By Phil Ochs
    (Born 1940, died 1976)

    I cried when they shot Medgar Evers
    Tears ran down my spine
    I cried when they shot Mr. Kennedy
    As though I’d lost a father of mine
    But Malcolm X got what was coming
    He got what he asked for this time
    So love me, love me, love me, I’m a liberal

    I go to civil rights rallies
    And I put down the old D.A.R.
    I love Harry and Sidney and Sammy
    I hope every coloured boy becomes a star
    But don’t talk about revolution
    That’s going a little bit too far
    So love me, love me, love me, I’m a liberal

    I cheered when Humphrey was chosen
    My faith in the system restored
    I’m glad the commies were thrown out
    of the AFL-CIO board
    I love Puerto Ricans and Negros
    as long as they don’t move next door
    So love me, love me, love me, I’m a liberal

    The people of old Mississippi
    Should all hang their heads in shame
    I can’t understand how their minds work
    What’s the matter don’t they watch Les Crain?
    But if you ask me to bus my children
    I hope the cops take down your name
    So love me, love me, love me, I’m a liberal

    I read New Republic and Nation
    I’ve learned to take every view
    You know, I’ve memorized Lerner and Golden
    I feel like I’m almost a Jew
    But when it comes to times like Korea
    There’s no one more red, white and blue
    So love me, love me, love me, I’m a liberal

    I vote for the Democratic Party.
    They want the U.N. to be strong
    I go to all the Pete Seeger concerts
    He sure gets me singing those songs
    I’ll send all the money you ask for
    But don’t ask me to come on along
    So love me, love me, love me, I’m a liberal

    Once I was young and impulsive
    I wore every conceivable pin
    Even went to the socialist meetings
    Learned all the old union hymns
    But I’ve grown older and wiser
    And that’s why I’m turning you in
    So love me, love me, love me, I’m a liberal

    Hey woman, you got the blues,
    cos’ you ain’t got no one else to use.
    There’s an open road that leads nowhere,
    so just make some miles
    between here and there.

    There’s a hole in my head
    where the rain comes in,
    You took my body and played to win,
    Ha Ha woman it’s a crying shame,
    But you ain’t got no one else to blame.

    E-evil Woman, E-evil Woman, E-evil Woman, Evil Woman

    Rolled in from another town,
    Hit some gold too hot to settle down,
    But a fool and his money soon go separate ways,
    And you found a fool lyin’ in a daze,
    Ha Ha woman what you gonna do,
    You destroyed all the virtues
    that the Lord gave you,
    It’s so good that you’re feeling pain,
    But you better get yourself on board the very next train.

    Evil woman how you done me wrong,
    But now you’re tryin’ to wail a different song,
    Ha Ha funny how you broke me up,
    you made the wine now you
    drink the cup,
    I came runnin’ every time you cried,

    Talk to ya later
    Don’t want to hear it again tonight
    I’ll talk to ya later
    Just save it for another guy
    Talk to ya later
    Don;t want to hear it again tonight

    Greeting supporters on Sunday
    Mr. Obama left a note on the door
    He said “Sweetie move out to the country”
    Ah but working too hard can give you
    A heart attack, ack, ack, ack, ack, ack
    You ought-a know by now

    Who needs a 3rd place in Iowa….
    Is that all you get for your money?
    And it seems such a waste of time
    If that’s what it’s all about
    Mamma, if that’s movin up then she’s movin out
    Mm she’s movin out, mm oo oo uh huh mm hm

    You should never argue with a crazy mi mi mi mi mi mind
    You ought-a know by now

    She can’t pay all her staff with the overtime
    The Hsu’s all but dried up for her money
    And if that’s what you have in mind
    Then that’s what you’re all about
    She’s done movin up and she’s movin out
    Mm she’s movin out Mm oo oo uh huh mm hm
