Rush, Paul, Sean, Laura, Michelle, whoever, if you're reading this, let's talk.

RIGHT ON TARGET!!! This SONG must get radio airplay!!! Any suggestions out there on how to do this? I really REALLY want to HEAR this one sung. I know it would cause mass laughter out there. IT MUST BE PERFORMED!!!

PJ, when you suggested "I Don't Know How to Love Him" as the basis for the parody, I wasn't too sure. The original doesn't have a lot of specific language in it to play with. But then I noticed that in the song the character argues with herself over why she really shouldn't love him. That gave me the angle: A typical feminist Democrat arguing with herself over why she shouldn't swoon over a vacuous heartthrob candidate, but she goes for him anyway.

You know, after I write these things, I can step back in an almost detached sort of way, and I say either, "OK, that's serviceable," or sometimes, "Wow! That's perfect! I cannot write a better parody than that!" This was one of those latter occasions. It depends on the material I'm working with, too; some things just cannot rise to those heights because of the limitations of the original song or the subject matter, etc. But this one did.
