Title: If you were to run for president.
Post by: FireStarter on 09 Dec 2006, 08:44: What would your campaign song be?

Mine would be Radiohead - Electioneering, or Karma Police

Electioneering has the nice distortion on the guitars though....Karma police would probably be too forward.

Post by: FireStarter on 09 Dec 2006, 10:11: The 1812 overature was already used, as Bush's unpublicised campaign song. If only we had known this before the retards in the Christian Right Elected (*coughappointedcough*) him the first time.

Title: Re: If you were to run for president.
Post by: kompan on 09 Dec 2006, 15:10: Eminem - Without Me :D nah, maybe as a parody

Queen - We Are the Champions - nah, too much irony

Fatboy Slim - Joker - nah, music is too sweet

Metallica - Ecstasy of Gold - OK, this theme really should fit.

Title: Re: If you were to run for president.
Post by: bff on 09 Dec 2006, 22:20: something by Bad Religon. Either "I Want to Conquer the World", "Change of Ideas", or "You Are (the Government)"

@ Beo: For Rage, I'd probably go with "Take the Power Back" or "Freedom"
Title: Re: If you were to run for president.
Post by: Luke C on 09 Dec 2006, 23:04: Some RATM the would be good lol.

If I were running for US President I would use Born in the USA for the irony.
Title: Re: If you were to run for president.
Post by: Joseph on 10 Dec 2006, 00:29: If I recall correctly, Reagan already tried to do that, except not for the irony.

Anyway, I have no clue what my campaign song would be. Some GY!BE maybe.
Title: Re: If you were to run for president.
Post by: jcknbl on 10 Dec 2006, 00:49: Which would make your campaign more boring than Kerry and Gore combined.
Title: Re: If you were to run for president.
Post by: Joseph on 10 Dec 2006, 00:50: That was pretty much the point, screw energetic campaign music.
Title: Re: If you were to run for president.

Henry Rollins Band - Liar

Okay, this wins the thread. Completely. No contest.
Title: Re: If you were to run for president.
Post by: FireStarter on 10 Dec 2006, 04:15: what about Tin Soldiers? That would be a good one.

I was going to use that joke. :P

Q and Not U - X-Polination

It would add some energy to my campaign, and it has the flexibility of having unintelligible lyrics as well as the opportunity for me to start convulsing rythmically while playing the keyboards during a rally. People would be like "damn, that guy really doesn't give a shit...and where the fuck did he get that flutist?"
Title: Re: If you were to run for president.
Post by: valley_parade on 10 Dec 2006, 08:46: I would have Beautiful Wang & the Allys following me around to all my campaign stops.

something by Bad Religon. Either "I Want to Conquer the World"

That would be a pretty awesome campaign song.

I think it would be funny to go with "Super Rad!" or "Look at Me (I'm a Winner!)" by The Aquabats.
Title: Re: If you were to run for president.
Post by: KharBevNor on 10 Dec 2006, 21:39: Electric Six - Dance Commander

Title: Re: If you were to run for president.
Post by: FireStarter on 11 Dec 2006, 02:24: "Tin soldiers and Nixon's comming, four dead in Ohio"

You would so get the baby boomer vote with that one...and since babyboomers are like 90% of the voting population...you'd win.
Title: Re: If you were to run for president.
Post by: ALoveSupreme on 11 Dec 2006, 05:25: you're having a conversation with yourself, aren't you.
Alkaline Trio- You've Got So Far to Go
? Danny's voice is probably the one thing that band has going for it, and this song is pretty good. Whatever.
Title: Re: If you were to run for president.
Post by: IronOxide on 11 Dec 2006, 05:31: "Murder the Government" by NOFX, of course.

I suggest you give The Falcon a listen, as it features both he and Brendan Kelly from Lawrence Arms on vocal duty.

Title: Re: If you were to run for president.
Post by: Dr. Gentleman on 11 Dec 2006, 10:24: Van Halen - Ice Cream Man
Title: Re: If you were to run for president.
Post by: The Eyeball Kid on 11 Dec 2006, 12:11: It could backfire, but using Dylan's 'Masters of War' would be a pretty blatant, angry attack on Bush and the neo-cons, which could get me some votes or alot of backlash.. but it would be pretty fun.

MCR's 'Welcome to the Black Parade' would be great... 'why did you choose to run for president?' 'TO BE THE SAVIOUR OF THE BROKEN, THE BEATEN AND THE DAMNED' 'i... see'

or Springsteen. everyone loves Springsteen. I love Springsteen very much

Title: Re: If you were to run for president.
Post by: ImRonBurgundy? on 13 Dec 2006, 06:46: "Hi-Five City!" by The Aquabats would be a great option, too. I guess what I'm saying is that The Aquabats write excellent campaign songs?
