They played Johnny B. Goode at the Convention. What would be a good (better) song for the Democrats this year?

Go with the traditional “Happy Days Are Here Again”. Just typing it makes you cheerful!

Our baloney has a first name,
It’s K-E-R-R-Y
Our baloney has a second name,
It’s T-E-R-R-Y.
We love to sling it every day,
and when you ask us why, we’ll say,
that John and Terry have a way
of making horsecrap sound OK.

Real songs? For Kerry I would pick **Trigger Happy Jack** by Poe- for the chorus, you see. And not to be partisan, I’d pick \*\* How the Mighty Have Fallen\*\* by Adam Cohen for Bush and **Loser** by Beck for Nader.

They have been using **Go, Johnny, Go** at events, it’s great because it works for Edwards too and unlike must campaign songs, it ROCKS!

How about the violin solo theme from **Young Frankenstein**?

Good idea, right movie, wrong song.
It needs to be Madeline Kahn singing **Sweet Mystery of Life**.

“Who Let The Dogs Out”. Man, can’t you just see the Johns, Hillary, Bill, Al and Jimmy doing a conga line with this blasting on the PA system?

Oh MY!
I thought of this earlier and decided I would post it when I got back online.
Diogenes and I think alike.
I must be getting smarter.

I couldn’t help but think of “Waffle Man” from Mystery Men:
**Waffle MAAAAANNNN!!
Golden Crispy!
Bad guys are history!**
Also, he could bash the villains with his “griddle of justice” and force them to talk with his “truth syrup.”
Sorry, couldn’t help it.
