Hillary Clinton has picked some Celine Dion song I’ve never heard of (though I’m told it was written as a jingle for Air Canada) for her campaign. Personally, I think that choice sucks (and it’s one more easy way for me to bash Hillary Clinton.) Anyway, if I was running for office, I think I’d like to come in to “Hell’s Bells” by AC/DC. Just the opening (hey, it works for closers and 3rd downs.) Or maybe “For Those About to Rock”. That would work pretty good as well.
I guess it would have to be “Born to Run”. And then after I win, “The Price You Pay”–tax and spend, baby, tax and spend.
I might as well anticipate my electoral success and just make “Another One Bites The Dust” my song from the start.
Roll With It
If I got elected, “Under My Thumb”.
Cruel by Tori Amos 
Probably Alice Cooper’s “No More Mr. Nice Guy”, of course, if i wanted to mess with people’s heads, maybe Barnes and Barnes’s “Fish Heads” would work
Leonard Cohen’s “Democracy”
I’m sentimental, if you know what I mean
I love the country but I can’t stand the scene.
And I’m neither left or right
I’m just staying home tonight,
getting lost in that hopeless little screen.
But I’m stubborn as those garbage bags
that Time cannot decay,
I’m junk but I’m still holding up
this little wild bouquet:
Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.
“We Built This City”.
I’d SO fucking win.
“Flagpole Sitta” by Harvey Danger.
Good thing I’m not running for anything, huh?
Reconsidering: “Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap”. Or “I’m Easy” (in a politically-corruptable kind of way).
As God is my witness, I opened this thread intending to say “Hell’s Bells.”
Since you took it, I’ll go with “Big Time” by Peter Gabriel.
When I run for re-election, however, it’ll be “Back in Black.”
Ry Cooder’s “How can a poor man stand such times and live.”
Skid Row’s Get The Fuck Out. Or am I trying to win?
I think *Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life * would be pretty great.
SAMPIRO FOR PRESIDENT campaign song:
James Taylor’s You Got a Friend
SAMPIRO FOR LIFETIME BENEVOLENT OLIGARCH campaign song (election unopposed):
*Every breath you take
And every move you make
Every bond you break
Every step you take
Ill be watching you
Every single day
And every word you say
Every game you play
Every night you stay
Ill be watching you*
The National Anthem would be changed to How Great Thou Art, though with slight modification of the lyrics to include my name several times.
Supposedly Barney Frank was considering running but God Save the Queen is still under copyright.
What about “You’re the Best” by none other than the bard, Joe Esposito?
may we make a second choice? “This land is your land” by Woody Guthrie
Metallica’s “Master of Puppets”
Works great for a wedding dance too.
