La La La
Campaign songs may not do much in the way of swaying my vote, but they can imbue campaigns with a little flava flava.* Like those catchy classic rock songs they play over car commercials, a good campaign song will make people pay attention. Often times candidates pick their songs based on the message they're hoping to convey. The interesting times are when they neglect to read the lyrics and take the full meaning of the song into account.** What's your favorite campaign song you've heard this year, or in years past? Of if you're not a fan of any of them, what are your suggestions for the candidates' campaigns?
* Except if your campaign song is "You and I" by Celine Dion.
** Bachman-Turner Overdrive's "Takin' Care of Business" is not about takin' care of business: "We love to work at nothing all day." Whoops.
