Politics + Music = Pain

We knew he wouldn't shut the hell up about "America the Beautiful," but now Mitt Romney is actively warbling in public:

 

What's worse–that slice of canned ham, or President Obama's choreographed leg-tingler to his fans?

Well, let's not leave out the Rick Santorum Fight Song! Do it for the children!

Me, I prefer Newt Gingrich's version of "Like a Virgin":

And of course, the terrific new Autotune the News number, "Cash Money," starring Newt (and featuring John Stossel and Ron Paul).

Speaking of the doctor-congressman, did you know that there is something called "The Ron Paul Song"? And that one time, probably in the late 1990s, his grandchildren sang it, to him, with the cameras rolling?

In case you need a quick memory scrub after that, please allow me to introduce May Palmer, "The Queen of Ivory Soul":

Yay democracy!

    Newt singing "Like a Virgin" will occupy my nightmares tonight. Freaky on so many levels. And was that Tommy Solomon?

    God damn Matt, you got the order on the last two videos wrong. I need to soak my eyes, ears, and cortex in Lye.

    On the other hand, there are some really good ones out there. For the country fans, there's http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CfFTgW5cp4Y and for fans of a more modern tone, there's Aimee Allen. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QiKh9Ko3mw4

    I've heard about the obama al green cover for a while, but hadn't heard it until now. It's not a bad impression. Maybe next year he can go on the road with Al Green full time.
