5. I Want It All (And I Want It Now) - remade by Pat Boone.
No way they'd allow Queen's version to be their standard.

10. I thought you meant that song...
from 'Willy Wonka' sung by Veruca Salt. Actually, that would be a great theme song for the 'pubs.

6. The I 95 song!
That would do wonders for their convention when it's time for Bush OR Cheney to walk out!

Jimmy Buffett - The Asshole Song (The I-95 Song) Lyrics

Well I was drivin' down I-95 the other night.
Somebody nearly cut me right off the road.
I decided it wasn't gonna do any good to get mad.
So I wrote a song about him instead.
It goes like this...

Were you born an asshole?
Or did you work at it your whole life?
Either way it worked out fine
'cause you're an asshole tonight.

Yes you're an A S S H O L E...
And don't you try to blame it on me.
You deserve all the credit.
You're an asshole tonight.

You were an asshole yesterday.
You're an asshole tonight.
And I've got a feelin'
you'll be an asshole the rest of your life.

And I was talkin' to your mother
just the other night.
I told her I thought you were an asshole.
She said, "Yes. I think you're right."

And all your friends are assholes
'cause you've known them your whole life.
And somebody told me
you've got an asshole for a wife.

Were you born an asshole?
Or did you work at it your whole life?
Either way it worked out fine
'cause you're an aaaass...hole tonight.

7. Hmm, I know Dick Cheney's personal theme song
Edited on Tue Jul-27-04 06:36 PM by SemiCharmedQuark
Night on Bald Mountain by Moussorgsky


If you've ever seen Fantasia where the little demons are all dancing gleefully around the big demon in the fires of hell...I imagine a Republican convention is very much like that.

11. The Simpsons gave the GOP
the Imperial March as mentioned above.


It was the episode where they wanted Side Show Bob to run for mayor, I think.

12. The Simpsons love to tear apart the GOP
Last night Fox was the only network not covering the convention, but they did play an episode beginning with the Republicans trying to think up evil things to do.

27. The Stonecutters theme
Who controls the British crown?
Who keeps the metric system down?
We do! We do!
Who leaves Atlantis off the maps?
Who keeps the martians under wraps?
We do! We do!
Who holds back the electric car?
Who makes Steve Guttenberg a star?
We do! We do!
Who robs the cave fish of their sight?
Who rigs every Oscars night?
We do! We do!

21. "The Horst Wessel Song"
That was the Bronwnshirts' anthem back around 1934. Riefenstahl's "Triumph Of The Will" opens with it.

26. Murder By Numbers -The Police
Once that you've decided on a killing
First you make a stone of your heart
And if you find that your hands are still willing
Then you can turn a murder into art

There really isn't any need for bloodshed
You just do it with a little more finesse
If you can slip a tablet into someone's coffee
Then it avoids an awful lot of mess

It's murder by numbers one two three
It's as easy to learn as your ABC
Murder by numbers, one, two, three
It's as easy to learn as your ABC

Now if you have a taste for this experience
And you're flushed with your very first success
Then you must try a twosome or a threesome
And you'll find your conscience bothers you much less

Because murder is like anything you take to
It's a habit-forming need for more and more
You can bump off every member of your family
And anybody else you find a bore

Because it's murder by numbers, one, two, three
It's as easy to learn as your ABC
Murder by numbers, one, two, three
It's as easy to learn as your ABC

Now you can join the ranks of the illustrious
In history's great dark hall of fame
All our greatest killers were industrious
At least the ones that we all know by name

But you can reach the top of your profession
If you become the leader of the land
For murder is the sport of the elected
And you don't need to lift a finger of your hand

Because it's murder by numbers, one, two, three
It's as easy to learn as your ABC
Murder by numbers, one, two, three
It's as easy to learn as your A, B, C, D, E
