_Spirit in the Sky_, but only since _Loser_ wouldn’t really be appropriate. ---

Well, _I_ thought “The Revolution Will Not Be Televised” was funny. But then, part of the humor comes from the fact that I’m an overweight, mostly bald, twenty-four year old white nerd from an upper-middle class suburbanite background. And I’m a moderate democrat\*. Alright, for a more serious answer… [**Is Anybody There**](http://www.lyricsondemand.com/soundtracks/0/1776lyrics/isanybodytherelyrics.html) from 1776 would be neat if it weren’t for the anti-English parts. Although it seems like something an unpopular president would pick for a reelection campaign. Seal’s **Crazy** would be good for a non-traditional candidate. I like **Right Now** by Van Halen, but it’s a little cheesy, and it’s probably already been done. I _love_ **The Kids Aren’t Alright** by The Offspring, but I wouldn’t use that myself. Hmm… I don’t really know what I’d use. Probably **Crazy** , because as unqualified and undiplomatic as I am, I’d be a pretty bizarre candidate to pick. \*Okay, yeah, I switched over from Republican to vote for Obama in the primaries, but I’d already been thinking about switching my registration before this election started. ---

**[Molasses to Rum to Slaves](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tXCVG1UNj5Y)** from _1776_. As mentioned in another thread I don’t want to be elected for anything, but this would at least get enough attention to put a great musical in the national discourse. ---

To continue the _1776_ riff I’d run on _[Piddle, Twiddle and Resolve](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sM9KcAS5_K4)_ - my indictment against the NYS legislature. Now if only I can find a way to change “Albany” into a five syllable name, or title… [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/your-campaign-song-what-would-it-be/468000.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/your-campaign-song-what-would-it-be/468000.md?page=3)
