In what Rolling Stone describes as "a bid to win over potential supporters in the under-thirty crowd," and what a certain columnist describes as a "fat, hanging curveball," Sen. Hillary Clinton announced on her campaign web site that she is seeking an official campaign theme song.
In typical Democrat fashion, Clinton controls and limits the choices, offering just two U2 tunes, one Dixie Chicks bit, one Shania Twain twang, a Monkees remake, and four others. But as individuals have shown throughout the history of this great nation, they are more ingenious and capable of aptly satisfying a need or want than any statist politician can imagine. So there's no need for Americans to stick to Clinton's nine choices when there are tens of thousands of possible choices out there.
Several potential theme songs for Clinton's campaign present themselves immediately. Here are a very few:
"Shameless" by Billy Joel (if John Edwards hasn't already claimed it)
"Yakety Yak" by The Coasters (if Sen. Barack Obama hasn't already claimed it)
"Money for Nothing" by Dire Straits (same Edwards disclaimer)
"It's the End of the World As We Know It" by R.E.M. (before Al Gore gets in the race)
"Back in the USSR" by The Beatles (if Rep. Dennis Kucinich hasn't already claimed it)
"Eve of Destruction" by Barry McGuire (Edwards disclaimer)
"Goodbye, House" by Melinda Schneider
"Theme from Kill Bill" by Bernard Herrman (if Rep. Ron Paul hasn't already claimed it; the Republican is, after all, known as "Dr. No" for opposing spending bills)
"Here It Comes Again" by Korn
"I Can't Get No Satisfaction" by The Rolling Stones (if Sen. Christopher Dodd hasn't already claimed it)
"Friends in Low Places" by Garth Brooks (if Sen. Joe Biden hasn't already claimed it)
Etc.

Sing to the Motherland, home of the free,
Bulwark of peoples in brotherhood strong.
O Party of Lenin, the strength of the people,
To Communism’s triumph lead us on!

Through tempests the sunrays of freedom have cheered us,
Along the new path where great Lenin did lead.
To a righteous cause he raised up the peoples,
Inspired them to labour and valourous deed.
CHORUS

In the victory of Communism’s deathless ideal,
We see the future of our dear land.
And to her fluttering scarlet banner,
Selflessly true we always shall stand!
