What is the Kerry/Edwards Music theme?

[Thrill]

What is their music? Like Clinton/Gore was "Don't stop thinking about tomorrow"

[apnu]

1. "Johnny B. Good"? I keep hearing it every night at the DNC n/t

[dissention]

3. Keeping with the Fleetwood Mac theme...

I'd go with the utterly beautful "Songbird":

For you, there'll be no more crying
For you, the sun will be shining
And I feel that when I'm with you
It's alright, I know it's right

To you, I'll give the world
To you, I'll never be cold
'Cause I feel that when I'm with you
It's alright, I know it's right

And the songbirds are singing,
Like they know the score
And I love you, I love you, I love you
Like never before

And I wish you all the love in the world
But most of all, I wish it from myself

And the songbirds are singing
Like the knew the score
And I love you, I love you, I love you
Like never before, like never before

[Dying Eagle]

2. It should be Tom Petty

I wish I knew the name of the song, but we know witch one I mean. It has such a great line.

"You can stand me up at the gates of Hell, but i wont Back down."

[mac56]

9. "I Won't Back Down"

The Bush campaign tried to use it in the 2000 campaign, but Petty put his foot down.

"After Petty's 1989 single "I Won't Back Down" was used at Bush campaign events, publisher Randall Wixen wrote a letter at the behest of Petty. It states, 'It has recently come to our attention that your presidential campaign has been using the above-referenced song in connection with your presidential bid. Please be advised that this use has not been approved . . . Any use made by you or your campaign creates, either intentionally or unintentionally, the impression that you and your campaign have been endorsed by Tom Petty, which is not true.'"

4. Well, CNN just showed the Black Eyed Peas doing a soundcheck.

They were performing "Let's Get It Started," so maybe that's a clue?

Wouldn't be a bad choice... and I think it's very, very cool of the Black Eyed Peas to come out loud and proud for Kerry/Edwards. :D

[dissention]

8. Under Pressure!

Bowie's "Under Pressure" would be a FANTASTIC choice, too:

Pressure pushing down on me
Pressing down on you no man ask for
Under pressure
That burns a building down
Splits a family in two
Puts people on streets

Bah bah bah bah bah bah
Bah bah bah bah bah bah

That's o-kay!
It's the terror of knowing
What this world is about
Watching some good friends
Screaming let me out!
Pray tomorrow takes me higher
Pressure on people
People on streets

Do do do bah bah bah bah
O-kay

Chippin' around
Kick my brains round the floor
These are the days
It never rains but it pours

People on streets
People on streets

It's the terror of knowing
What this world is about
Watching some good friends
Screaming, let me out!
Pray tomorrow takes me higher higher high
Pressure on people
People on streets
Turned away from it all
Like a blind man
Sat on a fence but it don't work
Keep coming up with love
But it's so slashed and torn
Why why why?
Love love love love

Insanity laughs under pressure we're cracking
Can't we give ourselves one more chance?
Why can't we give love that one more chance?
Why can't we give love give love give love?
Give love give love give love give love give love?
Cause love's such an old fashioned word
And love dares you to care
For the people on the edge of the night
And love dares you to change our way
Of caring about ourselves
This is our last dance
This is ourselves under pressure
Under pressure pressure

[Literate Tar Heel]

13. they also showed John Mellencamp soundchecking "Small Town"

I would think that would have something to do with Edwards' speech tonight

[AnnInLa]

5. I like the "Go Johnny Go"....anyone care to speculate......

about musical themes planned for the Repug convention? Hymns? Patriotic marches? Wagner operas? Cowbilly?

[CO Liberal]

6. Wagner Operas......

:-)

[terrya]

7. That music whenever Darth Vader would walk into the room.

That's pretty suitable, I think. Particularly for Cheney.

[redqueen]

11. lol... that reminds me of the Daily Show bit using that music

showing the meeting of the G-8 leaders taking a walk on the beach...

That was great. :evilgrin:

[DrWeird]

10. Johnny B. Good?

Jesus Christ, you'd think they'd aim for the slightly younger crowd, wouldn't you?

[AngryAmish]

12. "Plate in My Head"

by the Didjits.

[redqueen]

14. I Won't Back Down would be great! n/t

:bounce:

[buycitgo]

15. Nother Bowie song...........I/m afraid of Americans?

''Johnny's an American....
Johnny looks up at the stars

Johnny's an American....
Johnny loves p**** and cars''

jst kdn

love that song, tho

the PUGS should play it, for this part

I/m afraid of Americans, I'm afraid of the world
I/m afraid I can't help it....I/m afraid I can't

[kariatari]

16. gotta love petty and springsteen

I believe the Kerry/Edwards songs are Petty's "I Won't Back Down" and Bruce Springsteen's "No Surrender".

[OneBlueSky]

17. "Won't Get Fooled Again" . . . Th Who . . . n/t

.

[buycitgo]

18. yeah, but what about this

meet the new boss..
same as the old boss

whatta they do about that?

[donhakman]

19. How about Ode to Joy

[kariatari]

22. "Won't Get Fooled Again" isn't a very good one...

One of the last lines is, "meet the new boss, same as the old boss".

whoops. buycitgo beat me to it.

[Union Thug]

20. Rush - A Farewell to Kings /eom

[Sweet Freedom]

21. I want it to be

All Fired Up (Benatar)

Livin' with my eyes closed, goin' day to day
I never knew the difference, I never cared either way
Lookin' for a reason, searchin' for a sign
Reachin' out with both hands, I gotta feel the kick inside
All Fired up
Now I believe there comes a time
All fired up
When everything just falls in line
All fired up
We live an' learn from our mistakes
All fired up, fired up, fired up - Hey

Ain't nobody livin', in a perfect world
Everybody's out there, cryin' to be heard
Now I got a new fire, burnin' in my eyes
Lightin' up the darkness, movin' like a meteorite

Chorus:
All fired up
Now I believe there comes a time
All fired up
When everything just falls in line
All fired up
We live an' learn from our mistakes
All fired up, fired up, fired up
The deepest cuts are healed by faith
Now I believe there comes a time
When everything just falls in line
We live an' learn from our mistakes
The deepest cuts are healed by faith

[OneBlueSky]

23. okay, here's one for my fellow geezers . . .

anyone remember an album by the Chambers Brothers entitled "Love, Peace and Happiness?" . . . and the title song, which took up an entire album side? . . . not THAT would be a good theme . . .

[Murdock]

24. Bonnie Tyler's

"Holding out for a Hero" ... or so it should be...

[guitar man]

25. Little River Band

"Help is on Its Way"

For the Boosh gang:

"Lonesome Loser"

same band. :)
