I loved this song when it came out and heard it on my way to work yesterday. The lyrics are so applicable to Romney--an out of touch nerd who does everything wrong while trying to fit in. Here's the video from The Offspring---love them! Lyrics included after video.
Hunderd, Lieben, Glausten, Globen
Give it to me baby
Give it to me baby
Give it to me baby
And all the girlies say I'm pretty fly for a white guy
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/o/offspring/pretty+fly+for+a+white+guy_20298541.html ]
Uno dos tres cuatro cinco, cinco seís
You know it's kinda hard just to get along today
Our subject isn't cool but he fakes it anyway
He may not have a clue and he may not have style
But everything he lacks, well he makes up in denial
So don't debate, a player straight
You know he really doesn't get it anyway
He's gonna play the field and keep it real
For you no way, for you no way
So if you don't rate, just over compensate
At least you'll know you can always go on Ricki Lake
The world needs wannabees
Hey, hey, do the brand new thing
Give it to me baby
Give it to me baby
Give it to me baby
And all the girlies say I'm pretty fly (For a white guy)
He needs some cool tunes, not just any will suffice
But they didn't have Ice Cube so he bought Vanilla Ice
Now cruising in his Pinto, he sees homies as he pass
But if he looks twice, they're gonna kick his lily ass
So don't debate, a player straight
You know he really doesn't get it anyway
He's gonna play the field and keep it real
For you no way, for you no way
So if you don't rate, just over compensate
At least you'll know you can always go on Ricki Lake
The world loves wannabees
Hey, hey, do the brand new thing
Now he's getting a tattoo yeah, he's getting ink done
He asks for a 13, but they drew a 31
Friends say he's trying too hard and he's not quite hip
But in his own mind he's the, he's the dopest trick
Give it to me baby
Give it to me baby
Give it to me baby
Uno dos tres cuatro cinco, cinco seís
So don't debate, a player straight
You know he really doesn't get it anyway
He's gonna play the field and keep it real
For you no way, for you no way
So if you don't rate, just over compensate
At least you'll know you can always go on Ricki Lake
The world needs wannabees
The world loves wannabees
Let's get some more wannabes
Hey, hey, do the brand new thing

Is there something wrong with having a degree and being in a band?

for me (and other old-timers) is the ultimate Romney theme song:
He's a well-respected man about town
Doing the best things
So conservatively
