Palin Speech Entrance Song: Open Thread
Name your song picks in the comments.
Sorry, "Papa Don't Preach" is already taken. (I haven't googled, but I presume I'm the one-millionth mug to use that gag. Do I win something?)

Given that absolutely spectacular picture of Palin with the Vikings (not the football team) (I had never actively wanted to vote for a "real" candidate in my whole life until I saw that picture) maybe something by Amon Amarth?
Runes to my Memory, perhaps?

On a related note, since most ideas have to do with her hotness, I know a guy who has already printed up Tshirts saying
"Palin: VPILF"
They've been selling like hotcakes.
Haven't seen any yet in the convention coverage, though. Hoping to tonight.

If you go with AC/DC the most appropriate would be "Givin' the Dog a Bone".

"Seventeen" by Winger. Duh.
|9.3.08 @ 12:28PM|#
I saw sparks fly, from the corner of my eye
And when I turned, it was love at first sight
I said please excuse me, I didn't catch your name
Oh it'd be a shame not to see you again
And just when I thought she was comin' to my door
She whispered sweet and brought me to the floor, she said
I'm only seventeen, but I'll show you love like you've never seen
She's only seventeen, daddy says she's too young, but she's old enough for me
Come to my place, we can talk it over, oh everything going down in your head
She said take it easy, I need some time, time to work it out, to make you mine
And just when I thought she was comin' to my door
She whispered sweet and brought me to the floor, she said
I'm only seventeen, you ain't seen love, ain't seen nothing like me
She's only seventeen, seventeen
(Solo)
Such a bad girl, loves to work me overtime
Feels good (ha), dancin' close to the borderline
She's a magic mountain, she's a leather glove
Oh she's my soul, it must be love
She's only seventeen, still she gives me love, like I've never seen
She's only seventeen, daddy says she's too young, but she's old enough for me
She's everything I need, daddy says she's too young
But she's old enough, old enough for me
|9.3.08 @ 12:30PM|#
Epi, agreed on Devo, but I would choose: 'Freedom of Choice.'
McCain needs to play Blue Oyster Cult's 'Veteran of the Psychic Wars' as his theme, methinks.
BDB|9.3.08 @ 12:31PM|#
Rocket Queen, Guns 'N Roses.
|9.3.08 @ 12:35PM|#
I will take the high road for once and also suggest "Knocked Up" by Kings of Leon.
|9.3.08 @ 12:38PM|#

No, no: "The Psychedelic Warlords (Disappear in Smoke)" by Hawkwind.
Also, good one, NutraSweet. I...am shocked to admit this, but I once attended a Winger concert. I was very young and stupid.
|9.3.08 @ 12:42PM|#
It's OK. My first concert was Huey Lewis and The News. Put me off of concerts for years.
Dagny T.|9.3.08 @ 12:44PM|#
The real high road (and much more likely) would be something like "Small Town Girl" by Journey.
Wow, I have really got to stop going to dueling piano bars with my drunk girl friends.
|9.3.08 @ 12:47PM|#
Dag,
Did you take the midnight train going anywhere? You can tell us. This is a safe space.
No one judges you here.
|9.3.08 @ 12:52PM|#
"Princess of the Universe" by Utopia.
Dagny T.|9.3.08 @ 12:54PM|#
Did you take the midnight train going anywhere?
Do you believe in "The Power of Love"? Don't need money, et cetera, et cetera?
|9.3.08 @ 12:54PM|#
Wow, I have really got to stop going to dueling piano bars with my drunk girl friends.
Now why would you stop that?

Well, the high road for me.

"Didn't we almost make it this time"....
"Midnight train to Georgia"...
"Isn't she Lovely"...
"Unforgettable"...
"We've Got Tonight Babe"...
"A Question of Balance"...
"Pistol-packing Mama"...
(All the music from ANNIE GET YOUR GUN)...

So random Journey songs would not spring unbidden into my head, primarily.
The bar we go to in Seattle has such legendary ladies nights that it usually tends to have more guys than ladies anyways, so we put up with the cheesy music.

Beware the sausage factory.
On a sidenote: The best I could come up with when pressed for the opposite of "sausage factory" I replied "clambake."

How much of that is because of you? Be honest. Dancing on tables/the bar counts.
Dagny T.|9.3.08 @ 1:16PM|#
I replied "clambake."
That is even more awesome because of the wondrously bad Elvis movie with the same title.
"Clambake! Goin' to a clambake!"
Steve Horwitz|9.3.08 @ 1:16PM|#
Duh, "Barracuda" by Heart.
Dagny T.|9.3.08 @ 1:19PM|#

Hmm, not sure if that makes my friends and I part of the solution or part of the problem...

Givin the Dog a Bone? No, that's reserved for Hillary Clinton...but if you insist on a different AC/DC song, then it should be Let Me Put My Love Into You
Dale Innis|9.3.08 @ 1:53PM|#
I can't believe the bad taste of this thread! And that no one's suggested "Paradise by the Dashboard Light" yet! ("we were barely seventeen / and we were barely dressed")
toddb|9.3.08 @ 2:10PM|#
ooof...or the obvious:
Stand By Your Man - Tammy Wynette
and for Hillary we can reserve I Want You (She's So Heavy) - Beatles...that ominous guitar riff is perfect
Bingo|9.3.08 @ 2:34PM|#
This.
|9.3.08 @ 3:18PM|#

You know, that would actually work.

"Are You Experienced" by Jim Hendrix
armchairpunter|9.3.08 @ 4:13PM|#
"She's Crafty" or "Skills to Pay the Bills" by The Beastie Boys

One gold star for me. And of course Heart is now saying they can't use Barracuda anymore. :(
