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?)

Poundcake by Van Halen.
Or anything by Ronnie Spector. My god, what a voice! That "oh oh oh
oh" thing she does sounds like she's in some kind of
torment/ecstacy.

The best things in life are free
But you can keep them for the birds and bees
Now give me money
That's what I want
That's what I want, yeah
That's what I want
She is Governor of Alaska...

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?

"I saw her standing there" (just for the opening line, "She was
just 17 ... ")
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.

How about "Hey Joe(Lieberman, I really wanted to pick you for VP but the bible crazies in my party forced upon me the fuckin mayor of Wasalla, Alaska to be next in line for President of the United States. Good god, what have I gotten in to? Vote McCain/Palin '08.)" by Jimi Hendrix?

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

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.
|9.3.08 @ 12:35PM|#
I will take the high road for once and also suggest "Knocked Up" by Kings of Leon.

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.
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|#

with my drunk girl friends.
Now why would you stop that?

Well, the high road for me.

You are truly battle-scarred.
Diane|9.3.08 @ 1:00PM|#
"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)...
|9.3.08 @ 1:01PM|#
There's a picture of me wearing the pin my Dad bought me at the
concert.
I'll be in my shame corner.
Dagny T.|9.3.08 @ 1:07PM|#

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!"
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...
CounterClckWise|9.3.08 @ 1:52PM|#
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

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