DNC Makes Surprising Announcement

Astonishingly, most of the major news organs missed this today. Someone goofed I guess. If I hadn't been on C-SPAN I might have missed this.

Senate Democratic Majority leader Tom Daschle and Democratic National Committee chairman Terry McAuliffe held a joint press conference today to announce the selection of a new theme song for the Democratic Party. Their anthem has long been "Happy Days Are Here Again," but I must say this new song is an interesting choice:

I don't know what they have to say,
it makes no difference anyway.
Whatever it is, I'm against it!
No matter what it is
or who commenced it,
I'm against it!

Your proposition may be good,
but let's have one thing understood:
Whatever it is, I'm against it!
And even when you've changed it
or condensed it, I'm against it!

I'm opposed to it!
On general principles
I'm opposed to it!

For months before my son was born,
I used to yell from night to morn -
"Whatever it is, I'm against it!"
And I've kept yelling
since I first commenced it,
"I'm against it!"

It makes sense to me that if the Democrats are going to follow Karl Marx, they might as well have Groucho Marx singing their song.

"Why does it hurt when I pea" by Frank Zappa would have been more appropriate for the DNC.

There could be no better song for the "loyal opposition."

Come have a laugh. Be sure you listen to Groucho Marx singing the DNC's new theme song.

How about Bill Clinton's Song http://mlnimflcn.tripod.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderfiles/mambo5.mid

A little bit of Monica in my life
A little bit of Erica by my side
A little bit of Rita's all I need
A little bit of Tina's what I see
A little bit of Sandra in the sun
A little bit of Mary all night long
A little bit of Jessica here I am
A little bit of you makes me your man


Mambo number 5 !

I remember after Jimmy Carter conceded in 1980 (while the Left Coast polls were still open, by the way), they started playing "Happy Days Are Here Again". Truer notes were never played!
