Still on the hype of campaign songs, have decided to follow up a post that is now about the worst campaign songs. The previous post was about the best songs fit for a campaign, well, this post features the ones that are good enough for a campaign. Politics has now become a dynamic source for all topics imaginable and unimaginable. It can be connected to anything nowadays.
So, if you are a candidate or is planning to run for office, either in the national or for a sheriff or for class president, don’t ever use these songs if you have plans to actually nail the votes.
1. Elected by Alice Copper
Don’t think you can get votes with the lyrics, the listeners wouldn’t take you seriously.
Im your top prime cut of meat, Im your choice
I wanna be elected
Im your yankee doodle dandy in a gold rolls royce
I wanna be elected
Kids want a savior, dont need a fake
I wanna be elected
Were gonna rock to the rules that I make
I wanna be elected, elected, elected
I never lied to you, Ive always been cool
I wanna be elected
I gotta get the vote, and I told you about school
I wanna be elected, elected, elected
Hallelujah, I wanna be elected
Everyone in the united states of america
Were gonna win this one, take the country by storm
Were gonna be elected
You and me together, young and strong
Were gonna be elected, elected, elected
Respected, selected, call collected
I wanna be elected, elected
2. Money (That’s What I Want) by The Beatles
Clearly, you can’t get even sympathy if you get it out there that you’re just after the money, which we all know a government office will bring, if one knows how to manipulate the system. Nothing against The Beatles here.
3. Good Riddance by Greenday
Love this song but this is a meant to be 100% sarcastic as if the singer is spitting on the person.
4. We are the Champions by Queen
John McCain actually used this about eight years ago until some from his staff whispered that this song is actually gay anthem. Don’t know about that gay anthem issue, but we all know how this presidential nominee feels about gays.
5. When the ladies smile by Golden Earrings
Hillary Clinton used this without realizing that underlying context is that it’s in the eye of a sexual maniac who rapes women. But other than that, Golden Earring rocks!
6. Horst Wessel Song
Unless you want to be associates with the Nazis, don’t ever use this song.
These songs were included in this list not because of the artists but the way they are associated with campaigning. Campaigning is all about putting your best foot forward to be in the voters’ discussions. Songs define a candidate’s platform in certain ways, so a bad choice will reflect a bad platform.
