A Theme Song for Clinton: ‘I’m a Believer’ vs. ‘Cold as Ice’
New York Times ^ | June 4, 2007 | ANDREW ADAM NEWMAN

Posted on 06/03/2007 9:46:37 PM PDT by ConservativeStatement

When Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton asked YouTube viewers to vote on a theme song for her presidential campaign, she certainly got the attention she wanted — and a whole lot of jokes at her expense.

While her campaign provided a list of upbeat songs to choose from — like “I’m a Believer” and “Beautiful Day” —her detractors suggested alternatives like “Let’s Call the Whole Thing Off” and “Cold as Ice.”

That set CNN used tonight is awful. The Fox debate set was stunning. They have a wonderful new art director, I think.

Theme song for Hillary

I vote Richard Cliff song called Devil Women

Shes just a devil woman
With evil on her mind
Beware the devil woman
Shes gonna get you
Shes just a devil woman
With evil on her mind
Beware the devil woman
Shes gonna get you from behind

Then, of course, there's always this possibility, courtesy of one Jeff Stambo:

"I'm A Believer" Based on the performance by The Monkees
"I'm A Denier" Parody by Jeff Stambo

The Monkees may be gone, but the monkeys are still everywhere (Davos, Kyoto, Washington, and especially Nashville).

I thought earth was headed for catastrophe
I thought global warming was for real
Polar ice is melting
(I used to say)
Temperatures are high
(I used to say)
Pretty soon we're all just gonna die

Then I got a brain
Now I'm a denier
Not insane
Like I used to be
I'm informed
I'm a denier
Gore's a big liar yessirree

I thought truth was more or less a give-and-take
Theories could be proved by taking polls
Once you get consensus
(I used to say)
Then it's Q.E.D.
(I used to say)
There's no need to test empirically

Then I got a brain
Now I'm a denier
Not insane
Like I used to be
I'm informed
I'm a denier
Gore's a big liar
yessirree

I think Paul Shanklin should cut a version of Barak The Magic Negro just for her. Title it Hill The Magic White Girl. After all, she says all kinds of stuff and gets away with it: named for Sir Edmund Hillary, tried to join the Marines, I’m bilingual, we’re going to take things away from you for the common good, we need to move from the on your own society to the shared prosperity society. She truly is The Magic White Girl!

How about Little Willy by Sweet?

I used to like that song. That picture just ruined it for me.

The lyrics seem to fit though:

North side, east side
Little Willy, Willy wears the crown, he's the king around town
Dancing, glancing
Willy drives them silly with his star shoe shimmy shuffle down
Way past one, and feeling alright
'Cause with little Willy round they can last all night
Hey down, stay down, stay down down

'Cause little Willy, Willy won't go home
But you can't push Willy round
Willy won't go, try tellin' everybody but, oh no
Little Willy, Willy won't go home

BLACK SABBATH lyrics - “Lady Evil”

There’s a place just south of Witches’ Valley
Where they say the wind won’t blow
And they only speak in whispers of her name
There’s a lady they say who feeds the darkness
It eats right from her hand
With a crying shout she’ll search you out
And freeze you where you stand

Lady Evil, evil
She’s a magical, mystical woman
Lady Evil, evil in my mind
She’s queen of the night
All right!

In a place just south of Witches’ Valley
Where they say the rain won’t fall
Thunder cracks the sky, it makes you bleed, yeah
There’s a lady they say who needs the darkness
She can’t face the light
With an awful shout, she’ll find you out
And have you for the night

Lady Evil, evil
She’s a magical, mystical woman
Lady Evil, evil on my mind
She’s queen of the night

So if you ever get to Witches’ Valley
Don’t dream or close your eyes
And never trust your shadow in the dark
‘Cause there’s a lady I know who takes your vision
And turns it all around
The things you see are what to be, lost and never found

Lady Evil, evil
She’s a magical, mystical woman
Lady Evil, evil on my mind
She’s queen of the night

She’s the queen of sin
Look out, she’ll pull you in!
Lady wonder!
