DFU News of the Day in Song ^ | 9-24-08 | Lyrics, Doug from Upland

As you see, I didn't use the obvious choices. I hope this mocking meets with your approval.

MIDI - WICHITA LINEMAN

[doug from upland]

Here you go.

[Fiji Hill]

“Wichita Lineman”—must be a football song.

[pray4liberty]

What about the song, "Call Me" (Blondie) -- it was one of the songs in that Richard Gere movie "American Gigolo."

Fitting!

[Checkers]

Awesome!

[doug from upland]

I considered that as well as Stevie Wonder and Sinatra’s Call Me Irresponsible. Those were too obvious. This is easy to sing and easy to dance to. (Yes, I ended the previous sentence with a preposition.)

[Lloyd227]

Send Sarah Palin to the debate Friday night.

They want to say she's not prepared to step up to President should the need arise.  I believe she would do just fine, especially in an open debate format.

Time for a 'Hail Mary' in this campaign, so let's watch as Sarah mops the floor with BHO!

Anyone in the McCain/Palin camp listening?  :-)

[Bailee]

Now Pelosi/Reid has to call him back. Otherwise he is an empty suit that even his fellow democrats dont want around in a crisis.

[TAdams8591]

How coincidental (for me). I saw Glen Campbell on Leno last night, googled him, and listened to several renditions of Witchita Lineman (such a nice song) by Campbell throughout his life.

And now we have your version, today! : )

[doug from upland]

Quite a coincidence. Is Campbell the one with the bad plastic surgery?

[fightinJAG]

“Call me, maybe it’s late, but just call me, call me and I’ll be around . . . “

[TAdams8591]

Particularly, since, until last night, I hadn't thought or heard of Glen Campbell in years. In fact, I thought he was dead.

I don't know about the plastic surgery. He is 72 and looks pretty good for 72, but not good or bad enough to have had extensive plastic surgery from what I could see.

Google him and judge for yourself! : ) There are nice videos of him with various stars who appeared on his variety show, many years ago. It really took me back to my childhood and teenage years.

[doug from upland]

I certainly considered that one.

[Gemsbok]

Hi Doug,
You’re work is always awesome.

Is it possible for you to use the music from Sister Sledge-”We are Family”
with the Black Congressional Caucus Ad of ‘We’re Family’ in relation to the Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac debaucle.

Thanks

[doug from upland]

I actually have considered that. If I do, I can’t get to it for several days because of business.

[fightinJAG]

There’ll be another opportunity, I’m sure!

[pray4liberty]

I don't know about the plastic surgery. He is 72 and looks pretty good for 72, but not good or bad enough to have had extensive plastic surgery from what I could see.

I didn't know Glen Campbell is old enough to be my father. I had such a crush on him when I was eight years old...he was so hot.

[TAdams8591]

I know. Same here (he’s old enought to be my father). I was surprised he was that old myself. I don’t know that I had a crush on him, but I always thought he was cute. : )
