1. I Assume this wasn't it:
American girls and American guys
Will always stand up and salute
We’ll always recognize
When we see old glory flying
There’s a lot of men dead
So we can sleep in peace at night when we lay down our head

My daddy served in the army
Where he lost his right eye
But he few a flag out in our yard till the day that he did
He wanted my mother, my brother, my sister and me
To grow up and live happy in the land of the free
Now this nation that I love has fallen under attack
A mighty sucker punch came flying in from somewhere in the back
Soon as we can see clearly through our big black eye,
Man we lit up your world like the forth of July

2. Ask here.

I know that one of them at the beginning was "A little Less Conversation". I can hum the others, but I don't know the names. Post in the comments at the blog.

3. Leann Rimes -- We Can

I know, because I spent about 7 hours trying to decipher 20 seconds worth of lyrics with Google at end of Dean's now infamous Iowa concession "scream" speech.

Great song, BTW. Seems like the ideal theme song for a grass-roots "people power" campaign. I wish Kerry had adopted it. But maybe it didn't quite fit his campaign as much as it fit Dean's.

4. When the levee breaks
Dont know if that was his theme song but thats what was playing when Tom Harkin first introduced him as the first of the Democratic nominees. So thats the one I always think of when I see Dean.

5. Lyrics...
They'll try to stop the dream we're dreamin'
But they can't stop us from believing
They will fill your head with doubt
But that won't stop us now
So let them say we can't do it
Put up a road block
We'll just run right through it.. Cause...

We can, do the impossible
We have the power in our hands
And we won't stop 'cause we've got
To make a difference in this life
With one voice, one heart, two hands, we can

They say the odds are stacked against us
But that can't hold us back, we will be relentless
There's a voice they're gonna hear
A voice so loud and clear
So let them say we can't do it, give us a mountain,
and we're gonna move it.. cause..

We can, do the impossible
We have the power in our hands, and we won't stop
Cause we've got to make a difference in this life
With one voice, one heart, Two hands, we can

We're gonna make a change today (make a change today)
Because we've got the faith it takes
To win this race, so let them say we can't do it
Put up a road block
And we'll just run right through it cuz..

We can, do the impossible
We have the power in our hands and we won't stop
Cos we've got to make a difference in this life
With one voice, one heart Two hands, we can

I can (oh I can)
Do the impossible (do the impossible)
I have the power in my hands, and I won't stop
Cause I've got to make a difference in this life
With my one voice, one heart, two hands, we can
