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.

[Fiji Hill]

Update the lyrics to “Eve of Destruction”.

Here's the answer to "Eve of Destruction"--and I think it's a better song.

The Dawn of Correction--The Spokesmen (1965)

[BuddaBudd]

The Struggle Continues

[Shqipo]

Wow. Someone is actually hip in the RNC then. A good choice.

[Java4Jay]

With all the attacks against the GOP claiming we aren’t female friendly, pack the stage with women and play this - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBpYgpF1bqQ

[Joe 6-pack]

I think Kid Rock will also be performing at the convention.

[Java4Jay]

Wasn’t Born Free used last time in 2008?

[Joe 6-pack]

It wasn’t released until 2010...

[FryingPan101]

H i Ho. Hi Ho. It’s off to work we go

Or

Whistle While You Work

Or

Get A Job

Bump

[political1]

‘In America’ by The Charlie Daniels Band.

I don’t know... this one seems appropriate:

[matginzac]

Oh YEAH!

[Fiji Hill]

Here are a few suggestions:

• Good News--George Olsen & His Music

• Cheer Up! Good Times are Coming!--Ben Selvin

• Heading for Better Times--Ted Lewis

• Everything is Hotsy-Totsy Now--The Coon-Sanders Nighthawks

[matginzac]

I’d love to have them play
“We’ve Got to Take This Country Back” by Vince Gill and John Anderson...Great refrain for everyone to sing.
No You Tube vid but ought to be on iTunes or where ever.

[Fiji Hill]

Here's one for the other side:

The Boulevard of Broken Dreams--Ed Lloyd

[xp38]

Years ago on some thread about the national anthem someone suggested the Peter Gunn theme should be the national anthem. Meanwhile it could be used by the pubs. The composer Henry Mancini has joined the choir celestial so it should be safe.

[Fiji Hill]

H i Ho. Hi Ho. It’s off to work we go

Or

Whistle While You Work

Or

Get A Job

• Heigh-Ho--Horace Heidt & His Brigadiers

• Whistle While You Work--Shep Fields & His Rippling Rhythm Orchestra

• Get a Job--The Silhouettes

  • I Found a Job--The Heartbeats (answer to "Get a Job")

[Fiji Hill]

I notice that this is the politically correct version--in the fifth verse, they sing, "let us live to make men free"--but in this wimped-out age, no one ever sings "let us die to make men free," as it was originally written, anymore.

I would love to hear a recording featuring the third verse:

I have read a fiery gospel writ in burnished rows of steel:
"As ye deal with my contemners, so with you my grace shall deal.
May the hero, born of woman, crush the serpent with his heel,
Since God is marching on."

I have never seen this verse in a hymnal or heard it in a recording.

[FryingPan101]

You’re cooler than me.

great song.
