Dean's theme song

What should it be?

A. Were not going to take it - Twisted Sister
B. I won't back down - Tom Petty
C. Refugee - Tom Petty
D. Theme from movie, "Titanic"
E. Something else

:hippie:

I was thinking the same thing!! I love Tracey Chapman and saw her on Austin City Limits recently and she sang that song and I thought Hmmmmmmm. Good one hippiechick!!

(to the tune of the "Spam Song")

Dean, Dean, Dean, Dean...

Well, you know the rest...

was Herr Gropenfuhrer's theme song during his goobah-neetoreal campaign, so I think we ought to count that out.

"The Guy James Show"...."I Hate Republicans" :7

It has a good beat.
The words have a lot of meaning.
and it's easy to dance to.
I rate it a 10.

very hopeful.

do you know the lyrics ?

"see the tuna fleets clearing the seas out?
see the oilfields at first blight ?"

It should be a BFEE theme song ... it's VERY sarcastic, IMO.


:hippie:

I haven't bought a U2 CD since Achtung. It sounds like a very positive song. I'm sure you're right.

And also a bit of Marley, I can't remember which song off the top of my head. I do remember it was fitting.

Sly and the Family Stone

describes Dean's campaign to a tee!

This one always gets me going.

Democracy Is Coming (to the USA)

"We need a change yeah..."

I look into the window of my mind
Reflections of the fears I know I've left behind
I step out of the ordinary
I can feel my soul ascending
I am on my way
Can't stop me now
And you can do the same

What have you done today to make you feel proud?
It's never too late to try
What have you done today to make you feel proud?
You could be so many people
If you make that break for freedom
What have you done today to make you feel proud?

Still so many answers I don't know
Realise that to question is how we grow
So I step out of the ordinary
I can feel my soul ascending
I am on my way
Can't stop me now
And you can do the same

What have you done today to make you feel proud?
It's never too late to try
What have you done today to make you feel proud?
You could be so many people
If you make that break for freedom
What have you done today to make you feel proud?

We need a change
Do it today
I can feel my spirit rising
We need a change
So do it today
'Cause I can see a clear horizon

What have you done today to make you feel proud?
So what have you done today to make you feel proud?
'Cause you could be so many people
If you make that break for freedom
So what have you done today to make you feel proud?
What have you done today to make you feel proud?
What have you done today
You could be so many people?
Just make that break for freedom
So what have you done today to make you feel proud?

"Old Time Rock and Roll".

The perfect intro for a man who's talking about putting the "D" back into the Democratic Party.

Dean is Lord of the campaign contribuions right now and being a healer fits well with Aragon, the ranger-king, who was also a healer.

Revolution in their minds - the children start to march
Against the world in which they have to live
And all the hate that’s in their hearts
They’re tired of being pushed around
And told just what to do
They’ll fight the world until they’ve won
And love comes flowing through

Children of tomorrow live in the tears that fall today
Will the sun rise up tomorrow bringing peace in any way?
Must the world live in the shadow of atomic fear?
Can they win the fight for peace or will they disappear?

So you children of the world,
Listen to what I say
If you want a better place to live in
Spread the words today
Show the world that love is still alive
You must be brave
Or you children of today are
Children of the grave, yeah!

Black Sabbath

What was that song Dean had playing before and after his speeces on the Sleepless summer tour- slightly alternative, female vocals. Anyone know?

I don't know who does it

What's the name of the song that goes:

I want to Thank You
for lettin'
me be myself, again

Who did that? It's an old song but I think there has been a re-release.

there've been a lot of negative comments about "We Can" -- i.e. that it doesn't get people pumped up enough. I'd say we definitely need a friggin' anthem.

sorry flashbacks.

This bloody road remains a mystery
This sudden darkness fills the air
What are we waiting for?
Won't anybody help us?
What are we waiting for?

We can't afford to be innocent
Stand up and face the ending
It's a do or die situation
We will be invincible

This shattered dream we cannot justify
We're gonna scream until we're satisfied
What are we running for
We've got the right to be angry
What are we running for
When theres no where we can run to anynmore

We can't afford to be innocent
Stand up and face the ending
It's a do or die situation
We will be invincible

And with the power of conviction
There is no sacrifice
It's a do or die situation
We will be invincible

Won't anybody help us?
What are we running for?
When there's no where, no where we can run to anynmore

We can't afford to be innocent
Stand up and face the ending
It's a do or die situation
We will be invincible

And with the power of conviction
There is no sacrifice
It's a do or die situation
We will be invincible...

Yeah ahhh ahhh... ohhh ohhhhh

We can't afford to be innocent
Stand up and face the ending
It's a do or die situation
We will be invincible

...something called "We Can." It's kinda Lilith Fair-ish, heheh. I'd prefer "Healing Hands" by Marc Cohn, but eh.

Later.

after hearing it about 15 times while waiting on hold for the National Conference Call in Sept. Please don't make me hear that song again.

"Talkin' 'bout a Revolution" gives me goosebumps when I hear it.

Great song.

They played this song at one Dean event that I went to. Take a look at how appropriate the lyrics are.

DOCTOR MY EYES
Jackson Browne

Doctor, my eyes have seen the years
And the slow parade of fears without crying
Now I want to understand
I have done all that I could
To see the evil and the good without hiding
You must help me if you can
Doctor, my eyes
Tell me what is wrong
Was I unwise to leave them open for so long
'Cause I have wandered through this world
And as each moment has unfurled
I've been waiting to awaken from these dreams
People go just where there will
I never noticed them until I got this feeling
That it's later than it seems
Doctor, my eyes
Tell me what you see
I hear their cries
Just say if it's too late for me
Doctor, my eyes
Cannot see the sky
Is this the prize for having learned how not to cry

Though I agree it fits life under the BushReich :evilfrown:

A great song about underdog campaigning.

... Lynyrd Skynyrd, for all of us guys with rebel flags in their cars.

How about "A**hole" by Dennis Leary?

Or we can celebrate his foreign policy plank with Cheap Trick's "Surrender"...

Or we can have a musical ode to his misrepresentations about the other candidates by dusting off the old Thompson Twins hit, "Lies"...

And for all of his pandering to special interest groups, why not break out the steel guitar for Dwight Yoakam's "A Promise You Can't Keep"...

Finally, in honor of his flip-flops on a host of issues, let's close the show with Midnight Oil's "Sell My Soul"!

I don't know who did it though.

Get up, stand up: stand up for your rights!
Get up, stand up: stand up for your rights!
Get up, stand up: stand up for your rights!
Get up, stand up: don’t give up the fight!

Preacherman, don’t tell me,
Heaven is under the earth.
I know you don’t know
What life is really worth.
It’s not all that glitters is gold;
’alf the story has never been told:
So now you see the light, eh!
Stand up for your rights. come on!

Get up, stand up: stand up for your rights!
Get up, stand up: don’t give up the fight!
Get up, stand up: stand up for your rights!
Get up, stand up: don’t give up the fight!

Most people think,
Great God will come from the skies,
Take away everything
And make everybody feel high.
But if you know what life is worth,
You will look for yours on earth:
And now you see the light,
You stand up for your rights. jah!

Get up, stand up! (jah, jah!)
Stand up for your rights! (oh-hoo!)
Get up, stand up! (get up, stand up!)
Don’t give up the fight! (life is your right!)
Get up, stand up! (so we can’t give up the fight!)
Stand up for your rights! (lord, lord!)
Get up, stand up! (keep on struggling on!)
Don’t give up the fight! (yeah!)

We sick an’ tired of-a your ism-skism game -
Dyin’ ’n’ goin’ to heaven in-a jesus’ name, lord.
We know when we understand:
Almighty God is a living man.
You can fool some people sometimes,
But you can’t fool all the people all the time.
So now we see the light (what you gonna do? ),
We gonna stand up for our rights! (yeah, yeah, yeah!)

So you better:
Get up, stand up! (in the morning! git it up!)
Stand up for your rights! (stand up for our rights!)
Get up, stand up!
Don’t give up the fight! (don’t give it up, don’t give it up!)
Get up, stand up! (get up, stand up!)
Stand up for your rights! (get up, stand up!)
Get up, stand up! ( ... )
Don’t give up the fight! (get up, stand up!)
Get up, stand up! ( ... )
Stand up for your rights!
Get up, stand up!
Don’t give up the fight! /fadeout/

I believe the sun should never set upon an argument
I believe we place our happiness in other people's hands
I believe that junk food tastes so good because it's bad for you
I believe your parents did the best job they knew how to do
I believe that beauty magazines promote low self esteem
I believe I'm loved when I'm completely by myself alone

I believe in Karma what you give is what you get returned
I believe you can't appreciate real love until you've been burned
I believe the grass is no more greener on the other side
I believe you don't know what you've got until you say goodbye

I believe you can't control or choose your sexuality
I believe that trust is more important than monogamy
I believe that your most attractive features are your heart and soul
I believe that family is worth more than money or gold
I believe the struggle for financial freedom is unfair
I believe the only ones who disagree are millionaires

I believe in Karma what you give is what you get returned
I believe you can't appreciate real love until you've been burned
I believe the grass is no more greener on the other side
I believe you don't know what you've got until you say goodbye

I believe forgiveness is the key to your unhappiness
I believe that wedded bliss negates the need to be undressed
I believe that God does not endorse TV evangelists
I believe in love surviving death into eternity

I believe in Karma what you give is what you get returned
I believe you can't appreciate real love until you've been burned
I believe the grass is no more greener on the other side
I believe you don't know what you've got until you say goodbye

Later.

from the Dr. Feelgood album by Motley Crue. :thumbsup:

Isn't there a Musicians For Dean group? If not there should be and they should make a song for the campaign...another example of doing things differently. There could be a contest and Dean bloggers could choose the song they like best.

I like this idea. I'll run it over at the blog and see if anyone agrees with me.

Song: Fight The Power Lyrics

Time is truly wastin'
There's no guarantee
Smile's in the makin'
You gotta fight the powers that be
Got so many forces
Stayin' on the scene
Givin' up all around me
Faces full a' pain
I can't play my music
They say my music's too loud
I kept talkin about it
I got the big run around
When I rolled with the punches
I got knocked on the ground
With all this bullshit going down

Time is truly wastin'
There's no guarantee
Smile's in the makin'
You gotta fight the powers that be
I don't understand it
People wanna see, ya
Those that got the answers
Red tape in the way
I could take you in easy
That's just half the fun, oh boy
Seeking satisfaction
Keeps me on the run
I can't play my music
They say my music's too loud
I kept talkin about it
I got the big run around
When I rolled with the punches
I got knocked on the ground
With all this bullshit going down
Time is truly wastin'
There's no guarantee
Smile's in the makin'
You gotta fight the powers that be

If you & I can - we got the power
Fight it, got the power fight it........baby, baby
Fight it, fight the power

Well, it would fit in with the overall impression he seems to want. Everything to everybody.

"Can he see or is he blind?" ;)

I'm still waiting for one of the candidates to adopt "I'm Gonna Knock You Out" by LL Cool J (well, at least unofficially). I think it would work for Clark.

by The Polyphonic Spree.

C'mon, that would be ironic and funny.

"Beat On the Brat"

I think Joey & Dee Dee would approve :evilgrin:

Hearing the strains of the faux-celtic opening as Dean took to the stage would be a profoundly emotional experience. I'm not saying which emotion, but it would be emotional. ;)

And that's final!

It should be "We Need A Hero".

But I suppose it could be anybody's :)
