What songs do you consider the best in terms of campaign theme music? |
|
I'm still partial to Clinton's "Don't Stop Thinking About Tomorrow"

1. That's my fave.. and the first one I thought of... |
|
Also, when Kerry would speak, they'd often play "It's A Beautiful Day" by U2 at the events, and I still think of how high we were riding on Election Day until they stole Ohio.

2. While We Haven't Heard It For Who Knows How Long..... |
|
Edited on Wed Apr-05-06 09:26 PM by On Par
...Right about now, "Happy Days Are Here Again" would have a particularly nice ring to it.

That song is actually the OFFICIAL SONG of the Republican Party.
Hard to believe, ain't it?

7. Yeah. It has to be progressive music |
|
For progressive people.
That's why Fleetwood Mac worked so well. It gives you the feeling of moving forward at all times.

8. When I help run a national campaign for President Atrios... |
|
Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'" will be the theme song.
Kathleen Kennedy Townsend used Van Halen's "right Now" which didn't make sense since Sammy Hagar is on the dark side.
I'd also love to run a sweet old lady's congressional race and use Janis Joplin's "Tell Mama" for a retro ad.
I could do this all day long....I could write ads for people ALL DAY LONG.

18. It appears to be a bad address. |

When I type it directly into a new browser window, I get 404 File Not Found. That usually means an incorrect address.

12. Pat Benatar - "Invincible" |
|
Edited on Wed Apr-05-06 09:51 PM by kevsand
edited to add lyrics:
This bloody road remains a mystery. This sudden darkness fills the air. What are we waiting for ? Won't anybody help us ? What are we waiting for ? We can't afford to be innocent stand up and face the enemy. It's a do or die situation - we will be invincible.
This shattered dream you cannot justify. We're gonna scream until we're satisfied. What are we running for ? We've got the right to be angry. What are we running for when there's nowhere we can run to anymore ? We can't afford to be innocent stand up and face the enemy. It's a do or die situation - we will be invincible. And with the power of conviction there is no sacrifice. It's a do or die situation - we will be invincible.

13. Agree on "Don't Stop..." |
|
It worked the best and it's the only one that stands out to me. Perhaps the next Dem will adopt Prince's "We March." (Probably not, unless I'm the campaign manager :evilgrin:):
Uno para todos, y todos para uno {One 4 all and all 4 one} March, we march
(Whoa) {x6 in BG} March, we march {x2}
If this is the same avenue my ancestors fought 2 liberate How come I can't buy a piece of it even if my credit's straight? If all the water's dirty and I wanna lay the pipe, my dammy The river that I drink from, will it be the same as your mammy?
Now's the time 2 find a rhyme (Yeah) That's got a reason and frees the mind (Yeah) From angry thoughts, the racist kind (Yeah) If we all wanna a change then come on get in line Next time we march (Whoa) We're kickin' down the door Next time we march (Whoa) All is what we're marchin' 4
If this is the same sister that U cannot stop calling a bitch (Bitch) It will be the same one that will leave your broke ass in a ditch (Ditch) If U can't find a better reason 2 call this woman otherwise Then don't cry, U made the bed in which U lie
Now's the time 2 find a rhyme (Yeah) That's got a reason and frees the mind (Yeah) From angry thoughts, the racist kind (Yeah) If we all wanna a change then come on get in line Next time we march (Whoa) We're kickin' down the door Next time we march (Whoa) All is what we're marchin' 4
(Whoa) {x4 in BG} March, we march (Come on) March, we march Yes we do!
Dig.. Now we clarify 4ever, in other words as long as it takes We ain't got no use 4 ice cream without the cake (Umm) We ain't got no time 4 excuses, the promised land belongs 2 all We can march in peace but U best watch your back if another leader falls
March, we march
March, we march
He said it, she said it and I say... Now's the time (now's the time) 2 find a rhyme (Yeah) That's got a reason (Yeah) and frees the mind (free your mind) From angry thoughts, the racist kind (Yeah) If we all wanna a change then come on get in line (Get in line!) Next time we march (Whoa) We're kickin' down the door Next time we march (Hey yeah) (Whoa) All is what were marchin' 4 (Whooaa)
Next time we march (Oh yeah) (Whoa) Kickin' down the door Next time we march (Hey yeah) (Whoa) All is what were marchin' 4
The fun don't stop the bacon That's when the money gonna stop the shakin'
I know that next time we march, yeah

21. weirdest was one of Tom Harkin's choices |
|
at several of his events, he would play "When the Levee Breaks." Certainly not typical campaign music.

Have A Little Faith In Me Lyrics by Joe Cocker
(J.Hiatt) When The Road Gets Dark And You Can No Longer See Let My Love Throw A Spark Have A Little Faith In Me
And When The Tears You Cry Are All You Can Believe Give These Loving Arms A Try Baby Have A Little Faith In Me
Have A Little Faith In Me Have A Little Faith In Me Have A Little Faith In Me Have A Little Faith In Me
When Your Secret Heart Cannot Speak So Easily From A Whisper Start To Have A Little Faith In Me
And When Your Back'S Against The Wall Just Turn Around And You Will See I Will Catch Your Fall Have A Little Faith In Me
Have A Little Faith In Me Have A Little Faith In Me Have A Little Faith In Me Have A Little Faith In Me
Solo
When The Road Gets Dark And You Can No Longer See Let My Love Throw A Spark Have A Little Faith In Me
Have A Little Faith In Me Have A Little Faith In Me Have A Little Faith In Me Have A Little Faith In Me
I'Ve Been Loving You For Such A Long Time Expecting Nothing In Return Just For You To Have A Little Faith In Me You Know Time, Time Is Our Friend I Will Hold You Up, I Will Hold You Up Your Love Gives Me Strength Enough
Have A Little Faith In Me

I think people are in the exact frame of mind for this:
Chorus: This land is your land, this land is my land From California, to the New York Island From the redwood forest, to the gulf stream waters This land was made for you and me
As I was walking a ribbon of highway I saw above me an endless skyway I saw below me a golden valley This land was made for you and me
Chorus
I've roamed and rambled and I've followed my footsteps To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts And all around me a voice was sounding This land was made for you and me
Chorus
The sun comes shining as I was strolling The wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling The fog was lifting a voice come chanting This land was made for you and me
Chorus
As I was walkin' - I saw a sign there And that sign said - no tress passin' But on the other side .... it didn't say nothin! Now that side was made for you and me!
Chorus
In the squares of the city - In the shadow of the steeple Near the relief office - I see my people And some are grumblin' and some are wonderin' If this land's still made for you and me.
