music: do or die, you'll never make me
Dear Barack Obama,
Earlier today I was doing research on democratic presidential candidates and noticed that you have yet to choose a campaign song. I am writing to advise you that choosing a good campaign song is a much bigger factor than you would expect - case in point - as much as I like Hilary Clinton I cannot vote for her based on her crap choice of songs that she has allowed her base to choose for her (Smash Mouth, seriously?).
I will make it easy for you and tell you that your song should be My Chemical Romance's "Welcome to the Black Parade." Here are the obvious reasons:
1) The song is truly uplifting and inspirational. Kinda like "Don't Stop Thinking About Tomorrow" (Bill Clinton) and "Don't Worry Be Happy" (George HW Bush). Both of those dudes won, BTW.
2) Welcome to the Black Parade. You cannot be subtle about these kinds of things.
3) My Chemical Romance is from New Jersey. There's really no other way to win New Jersey unless Bruce Sprinsteen is your running mate and you plan on putting Jon Bon Jovi in your cabinet.
4) "Sometimes I get the feeling, she's watching over me" Um, that is soo Hilary. Imagine how awesome your campaign video would be cut to this jam.
5) Check out these lyrics too -
When I was a young boy,
My father took me into the city
To see a marching band.
He said,"Son when you grow up,
will you be the saviour of the broken,
The beaten and the damned?"
He said "Will you defeat them,
your demons, and all the non believers,
the plans that they have made?"
Because one day I'll leave you,
A phantom to lead you in the summer,
To join the black parade."
This very much in line with your image of growing as a poor black under-priveleged kid in the ghetto of Chicago, right? Well, I'm sure you've at least seen a marching band? (help me out here).
6) You need the over 18 EMO vote.
Mr. Barack Obama, thank you for your time. I know you don't read my blog, so I plan on posting a comment about this on your myspace page. Check it later today, playa.
