The RNC needs a good campaign theme song.(Vanity)

Vanity

[Shqipo]

Everytime a Republican starts playing a song at a rally, a liberal musician starts crying to stop it. I think I found one that might work that is patriotic, hopeful, and would serve Romney/Ryan well. As the RNC has no skill in this stuff, perhaps we might offer them some options.

Here is mine. "Home" by Dierks Bentley. What song do you think they should adopt?

Proud to be an American would be nice.

But you’re completely right: our side has no idea when it comes to things like music. They always pick some crazed lib’s song and then have to backtrack. It makes our team look not only dumb but lacking in culture. Drives me crazy!

Mormon Tabernacle Choirs Battle hymn of the Republic. I think it fits.

Liberal musicians have zero right to tell people not to play their songs. When you make a song available to the public, you lose the right to decide who gets to play it. Of course, trying to decide who is and who is not permitted to use a piece in the public domain fits perfectly with the liberal, control-ist mindset.

Back to the main point of the thread, I'd suggest 'Good ole American Way,; by Justin Moore (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=liRspFdyWGg), or 'Small Town USA (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VgEU_Xi7QU),' also by Justin Moore.

Only if you don’t mind losing the southern states.

[Celtic Cross]

That rules out the unreconstructed.

[cripplecreek]

“Creep” seems appropriate.

[mardi59]

That’s a good one.

[mardi59]

I have never thought of it as a divisive song, just very patriotic and beautiful.

[cayuga]

Update the lyrics to “Eve of Destruction”.

[sportutegrl]

So is Dixie. But some Southerners have looooong memories.

[Slump Tester]

Plastic People by Fran Zappa

But substitute "plast-tic peo-ple" with "Barry Sor-en-t-o"

(I couldn't find the cut I wanted, but this kid combines several that I like.)

[illiac]

Still love Lee Greenwood....

Here is mine. "Home" by Dierks Bentley.

How about these? The first one is one of my all-time favorite songs.

• Home--Rudy Vallee & His Connecticut Yankees

• Home--Peter Van Steeden (the original version)

The Romney campaign has already been using Kid Rock’s “Born Free”, with, as I understand it, the artist’s permission/endorsement:
