Back in 1989 John Mellencamp wrote this song. I heard it this morning and thought wow, that could be Bush's theme song.



It seems that things haven't changed much in 16 years. Except that maybe that the lyrics to this song are more applicable to today's politicians than they even were back then.

Any thoughts?

The thing about politics is that the problems are sempiternal.

I remember an episode of The Simpsons where some radio DJs have a computer which comments on the news. It says something to the effect that politicians are really corrupt at the moment, and one of the DJs is amazed how it keeps up to date.

As funny as that is, I feel guilty for laughing.

I love John Mellencamp.....othwise....NO COMMENT PLEASE!...Debbiejo has left the room..

That's funny--at first when I read your post I thought you were saying that now Bush has a theme song--like he'd walk up to the mic and the theme song from Shaft would start playing or something--that would be humorous

Or Jungle Boogie.

Perhaps "Magic Carpet Ride" due to his facination with the Middle East?

LOL-As long as he comes out dancing I'm amused--what if he had a trademarked move--like a fancy spin of some sort

DESTROYER (KINKS)

met a girl called lola and i took her back to my place
feelin' guilty, feelin' scared, hidden cameras everywhere

'cause there's a red, under my bed
and there's a little yellow man in my head
and there's a true, blue, inside of me
that keeps stoppin' me, touchin' ya, watchin' ya, lovin' ya

paranoia, need destroyer. paranoia, they destroy ya'

well i fell asleep, then i woke feelin' kinda' queer
lola looked at me and said ooh you look so weird

you get a good thing goin' then you blow yourself out

silly boy ya' self-destroyer. silly boy ya' self-destroyer

so much to aim for, so much to try for

(here it goes again) paranoia, they destroy ya

dr. dr. help her please i know you'll understand
there's a time device inside of me i'm a self-destructin' man
there's a red, under my bed
and there's a little green man in my head
and said you're not goin' crazy, you're just a bit sad
'cause there's a man in ya, knawin' ya, tearin' ya, in to to

silly boy ya' self-destroyer. paranoia, they destroy ya'

Yes I see how that is a completely valid reason for derailing all the threads that you do. I will make sure that I at no future time to expect a relevant comment from you, no matter what the thread, due to the fact that you "walking into a room" obviously excuses you from taking the time to read what people write and excuses you from taking responsibility for saying anything.

Good song, but I feel bush isn't the only one it applies to.

Uhm, you get the point why I posted the lyrics of that song don't you? I guess not. This thread is not intended to be about songs and lyrics, it is intended to draw a correlation between the lyrics and how they reflect on politicians (or whoever as I particularly pointed to G.W.)

It's a pertinent song, for sure. The only thing I would add is that the DJ should be a Fat Cat who's one and only 'mix' is that song repeated ad infinitum...Oh, and Jesus-sandaled people should be dancing a barn-dance to it.

Meaning me?.....if so, then you have know idea....but now this "title of the forum" is off topic or is it...look at the title, I only added to it as "What people who think of it would be......"Bushes theme Song, to what people who think of bushs theme song are.."

Thank you for indirectly answering my question.

Really dude....the man could walk out to the podium and tell everyone to lick his nuts and it wouldnt matter. Most of us are just waiting for him to be done with his 4 years so we can elect the next ass clown.
