Don’t Fear the Reaper (based on his appearance. Plus he could definitely use more cowbell.) ---

Does it have to be by someone famous? If not, then my choice is by an unknown singer/songwriter named Happy Rhodes. As more people start realizing what’s really going on… [Waking Up](http://vickie.teemingmillions.com/wakingup.html) (link to full lyrics and downloadable song) We’re waking up Yes it’s good We’re waking up Like I knew we would There’s a breath of hope For everyone to share There’s a growing force Of people who care In all the years of struggle It seems we’re making way I have never been afraid to Change the circumstances Of the world Cobwebs everywhere It’s time for a deep sweep I wish they’d used it at the convention. ---

Left a good job in the Senate spoofin’ for the Dems every night and day but I never saw a chance at the top job ‘til I got the nod from the Demo machine spin doctors keep on turnin’ Dem voters never learnin’ KERRY! KERRY! KERRY for the POTUS. Pumped a lot of palms in Memphis kissed a lot of butt down in New Orleans but I never lost one minute of sleepin’ wonderin’ if I’d earned those medals I had heaved spin doctors keep on turnin’ Dem voters never learnin’ KERRY! KERRY! KERRY for the POTUS. ---

_Iron Man_. Works if you want to make fun of his demeanor, works with his war record, works if you hate Bush. I think they’re actually using a pretty decent crop of songs. They might’ve played Johnny B. Goode half a dozen times at the convention and it’s a little hokey, but it could be worse. No Surrender works, and Beautiful Day is nice.
