Should Obama use "Born in the USA" as a re-elect theme song?

[hijack]

If the Working Families Party or something like it ever takes off at the national level, to the point of having any use for a song, its song should be, “Time Is On My Side.”

Chocolate to the Bone.

Thing is, it’s my understanding that campaign rally music is primarily to pump up the energy level for one’s supporters.

I would hope that President Obama’s supporters are more likely to listen to the lyrics than are Gov. Romney’s.

I’d prefer that the campaign not use the song.

While I think it’s a really bad song for a political campaign, you gotta admit, it WOULD really tweek the Birthers.

I’d prefer he used a good song. I’m on board with the P-Funk suggestions. Better songs and probably more red meat to the Tea Partiers.

Well, “The Internationale” is long out of copyright, isn’t it? :wink:

Well the Obama campaign does have a little fun with the paranoid conspiracy theorists. One of their mugs displays the long form birth certificate. :smiley:

Oh, let’s just lose all subtlety.

Cult of Personality

But only if at the very end of the song, he does exactly what I do. It has Winston Churchill’s line “The only thing we have to fear, is fear itself”.

After which I always add, in my best Winston Churchill voice… “and spiders”. :stuck_out_tongue:

Or given the significant percentage of Republicans who think he might be the Antichrist, perhaps some Latin chanting, and red under-lighting at the podium.

That’s it! The theme song! Ave Satani! :smiley:

Winston Churchill?

It was FD Roosevelt, first paragraph of his 1933 Inaugural Address.

So, first of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself—nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance.

Huh, I didn’t even realize that Fear Itself was running.

Anyways, Honolulu is no “dead man town.”

Santorum dropped.

“Shaft” theme song.

He should use Beyonce’s version of “God Bless the USA!”

I think he should stick with “Hail to the Chief”. Romney can’t top him on that one.

But he can use James Garner’s lyrics:

“Hail to the Chief
If you don’t I’ll have to kill you
I am the Chief
So you better watch your step, you bastards”

I’m on the Dark Horse ticket.
