Yakity-sax. “Your Racist Friend” by They Might be Giants That song from _Hee-Haw_ about spreading rumors, before each assertion he makes about Hillary Clinton. _Lookin’ out My back Door_ by CCR “Short People,” except he’d change it to “Brown People.” “I did It My Way” “It’s a Miracle” by Culture Club, which was supposed to be called “It’s America,” but they changed it at the last minute. and the already suggested “Eve of Destruction” Meanwhile, I’ll be jamming to “I wanna be sedated.” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/for-fun-suggest-music-for-trumps-convention/760051.md?page=2) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/for-fun-suggest-music-for-trumps-convention/760051.md?page=4)
