I’ve been giggling about this all morning. I got an email from Hillary… um, Clinton, well, more specifically, from Patty Solis Doyle her campaign manager. It seems there is a pressing issue that will definitely affect the entire United States of America.
Hillary needs a theme song for her campaign.
After I finished laughing, I had thoughts of Ally McBeal and thought I would suggest they call Dr. Tracey (Ullman) Clark and set Hillary up with an appointment to get in touch with her inner song. Then, my whirling dervish brain had thoughts of Hillary, on the campaign trail, going from city to city, and that little baby dancing around on stage with her. Creepy-funny.
So, really, seriously, I mean, like totally seriously; I wondered what each candidate’s theme song should be. We all know that rockstar status (Sorry, Bill; it’s true and grassroots will only get you so far.) is what gets people elected in this country (that and a Daddy with money and friends in low places) and, well, there are just so many possibilities out there!
I’m going to suggest a few but please, join me! Add your own!
But first… here is the list of songs that Hillary is currently considering:

But first… here is the list of songs that Hillary is currently considering:
- “City of Blinding Lights” -U2
- “Suddenly I See” -KT Tunstall
- “I’m a Believer” -Smash Mouth (just in time for Shrek the Third)
- “Get Ready” -The Temptations
- “Ready to Run” -Dixie Chicks
- “Rock This Country” -Shania Twain
- “Beautiful Day” -U2
- “Right Here, Right Now” -Jesus Jones (Are you kidding me?)
- “I’ll Take You There” -The Staple Singers
Now for my picks:
Hillary:
- “Trouble is a Woman” -Melinda Doolittle (American Idol pisses me off so much. I’m never watchin’ that show again. However, this would be a very powerful statement and song, as sung by Melinda, and a testament to how Hillary handles Bill and consequently, the nation.)
Bill Richardson:
- “Theme from Rawhide” -Blues Brothers (Head ‘em up and Move ‘em out, Bill! You can even use your horse, if’n ya wanna.)
John Edwards:
- “Let’s Work” -Mick Jagger (This song is so totally perfect for a man with a 29 million dollar self-worth. Look it up; read the lyrics.)
Barack Obama:
- “I Want to Conquer the World” -Bad Religion (The lyrics just about say it all. While not exactly *dance* music, it sets the world on edge…)
Al Gore:
- “Come to My Window” -Melissa Etheridge (I thought I’d include ol’ Al, just ’cause it made me laugh at the thought.)
Okay, now it’s your turn! (You didn’t really think I was going to include Republican candidates, did you? Oh, hell no!)
And for your viewing pleasure, I give you Hillary and her funny little plea for help:
Filed under: Ally McBeal, American Idol, Hillary Clinton, Melinda Doolittle, humor, opposable thumbs, politics, presidential candidates, theme songs
After watching the video, the only thing I can think is I hope she doesn’t win, why did she say that? LOL.
Very funny, very funny lady. I especially liked King Bill’s theme song, do you think he looks a bit like Belushi’s brother Jim?
So after catching up with your blog, I am wondering what happened to the neighbors dogs?
Nora: I presented my neighbor with my vet bill yesterday and he’s going to try to get the place he adopted from to pay it. Two of his dogs have kennel cough and the third, well, it’s only a matter of time. His vet told him they would have to “cycle through it” and that it was no big deal. That is NOT what my vet said but then, the vet he went to was the one from the shelter AND they went ahead and neutered the lil’ puppy while he has kennel cough! So, I told him to get them all on antibiotics so they don’t keep cycling this tremendously contagious condition through them. He was very nice about it and actually cleaned-up his yard. He’s workin’ on it and was very embarrassed that I had to have “a talk” with him. I felt like his mom or something but he’s okay and is, so far, doing the right thing.
I’m sure his wife is pissed as hell with him for all of the vet bills, including the one I handed him yesterday, and is none too happy with his doggy decisions. Although he did tell me that the little dachshund is now sleeping on the bed with them. So, potentially happy ending… we’ll see.
Thanks for askin’.
How are your boys? Growin’ like weeds in the NM desert after a good gully-washer?
I was so bummed about Melinda…we voted 3 times for her and we’re not legally entitled to even vote in this country….teehee….
I don’t know for Hillary….I think she needs some hillarybilly music….ya know whatcha I be talking ’bout there, Nat? ahoowah ahoowah….
How about The Hills Are Alive?…. or the theme song from Kill Bill?
Or Long Cool Woman in a Black Suit….
I dunno…
S says it should be “Bitch is Back” by Elton John.
ha!
The hills are alive? I don’t think so, Sister Marie Mary Poppins (a day…)
Long Cool Woman in a Black Suit (um, Dress)… hmmm… Long? Cool? Woman? hahahaha!
I think AI is fixed. How about you? I hate them all. Simon Cowell is mad, too. He’s portrayed as bitchy but really, he’s the only one who tells the truth. Tsk!
I cannot believe Hillary’s list. She’s not even going with American singers on half these songs, which is going to piss off the media and start a frenzy…”OHHH she went with a CANADIAN songstress…what’s wrong with an American country music artist???” LOL
Trouble is a woman” ROFL!!!
“Let’s Work” is perfect!!!
althought…I like Prince’s “Let’s Work” better…
“c’mon let’s have some fun, we’ll work till morning comes
lemme see ya work
I’d love to turn you on, I’d work you all night long
if I could get you in the raw, I’d make you climb the walls
oh yeah nothing can stop us now, I’m gonna show you how
show you how to work
c’mon let’s have some fun, we’ll work till morning comes
yeah, yeah, lemme see ya work, c’mon!”
Think Hillary or Bill would like that one better?
Love you, dear dear friend!
Hey Nat-
My wife was in Washington D.C. this week smoozing with Senators and our local reps trying to get support on a couple of bills that would help ALS patients. Very cool trip, getting to paricipate in that whole process. She hung out with some very interesting people too.(Micheal Crieghton’s wife, Merideth Viera’s husband) I thought that you would think that was cool.
Tom
Lynn: “If I could get you in the raw” hahahaha… oh, that thought makes me spit up a little… yikes!
Tom: I do think that is very cool! I had no idea your wife was so active in ALS legislation. I’m glad to hear she was able to help on a national level. I’m positive that will do tons of good on the grassroots level, too.
What I really want to know is… is Michael Creighton’s wife surgically altered? lol The man writes some really creepy books! 
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha…was that really Hillary singing? Oh God…she sounds just like me. Or like how I would sound if I ever sang the anthem…
I think that, for purely superficial reasons, that Barack Obama’s song should be I’m Too Sexy. Cause he kinda is…
I don’t think any of the songs on on Hillary’s list work at all. Of course nothing would piss off the right wingers mores than using a Dixie Chicks song. LOL
Maybe she could find a Barbara Streisand song?
Honestly though, why doesn’t she just go with “This Land is Your Land” and leave it at that?
This is kick ass. When I heard the theme song ad I almost choked on my cereal. Please.
(I like your suggestions much more than the official ones.)
ha ha ha ha! who knew hilary had such a sense of humor – and a self-deprecating one at that!
That you for letting us post about our favorite singer. Without this site, it would be really difficult to share the latest news about them.
