Neither Walking on Sunshine nor an American Girl
Thus far, few self-respecting artists want their music associated with the newly Stepfordized Michele Bachmann. First, Tom Petty told her to quit using “American Girl,” (which was an odd choice in the first instance since I reckon a cool 75% of the voting population associates that song with Silence of the Lambs):
“NBC News: @TomPetty unhappy with Michele Bachmann’s use of ‘American Girl’ and in process of issuing [a cease and desist] letter,” Matt Ortega reported on Twitter only hours after hours after Bachmann used the popular song to kick off her campaign.
NBC’s Kelly O’Donnell confirmed that report Monday night.
“And details matter, and when Bachmann left the stage here, her campaign played the Tom Petty hit song, ‘American Girl,’” O’Donnell said. “Turns out petty isn’t pleased. His manager says they will ask the Bachmann campaign not to use that song.”
Then, Katrina Leskanich announced that she wasn’t cool with Bachmann’s “misuse” of Katrina and the Waves’ hit song “Walking on Sunshine”:
As the singer of ‘Walking on Sunshine’ I don’t endorse its use by Michele Bachmann’s presidential campaign. I’ve performed ‘Walking on Sunshine’ for so many years in so many different countries that it’s become the one constant in my life and the one thing I can count on to bring happiness to myself and others. The song is used in commercials and movies as a vehicle for a feel good moment or empowerment but if I disagree with the policies, opinions or platforms for its use, I’ve no choice but to try and defend the song and prevent its misuse. Music can be both powerful and moving and sometimes even a little dangerous.
Poor Michele. She can’t get no satisfaction.

I wonder if Zac Brown would allow Ms. Bachmann to use “Colder Weather”. This would be related to the genius commenter at Al Giordano’s who adapted “Charlie on the MTA” to the Hillary campaign. Alas, I doubt it’s available anymore because it wasn’t at the Narcosphere.

Artists should sue the living fuck out of teatards that use their songs. Free market and all that.
But I would suggest Stuart by Dead Milkmen, as John reminded us a few weeks back. Bachmann seems like someone who’d be very worried about what the queers are doing to the soil.

Bachmann needs to stick to GOP-supporting musicians. There must be a couple of country artists she can turn to.

If any band wrote a song called “I’m So Batshit Insane That By Rights I Shouldn’t Be Trusted To Run the Deep Fryer at Burger King, But At Least Forty Percent of the Country Will Still Vote For Me Should I Win The Republican Nomination”, she should use that.
If not, hell, I’ll write it myself. I’m thinking maybe a alt-country/indie rock sort of feel?

@gbear, pity Bat Boy has already been assigned to Michele Malkin.
Citizen_X
No, he was a garden-variety conservative (make of that what you will).* Dee Dee wrote “Today Your Love, Tomorrow the World,” if that’s what you’re thinking of. Because he actually had been a “Little American boy/being pushed around/little American boy/in a German town,” and had always been finding Nazi regalia just lying around. Dee Dee was a fucking mess, but he wasn’t a Nazi.
*Still, Joey would write in-your-face stuff like “Bonzo Goes to Bitburg.”
And you would be wrong.
MoeLarryAndJesus
Bachmann should ask Ted Nugent if she can use “Cat Scratch Fever” as her theme song.
Of course it only works because you can change the key words to “Bat Shit Crazy” without altering the beat.

I believe McCain and Reagan each had similar problems with artists. Why are GOP presidential hopefuls congenitally unable to get permission to use an artists work? I thought they were big proponents of intellectual property rights. Oh yeah, because artists typically don’t like fascist douchebags and they won’t get permission if they ask.

I thought Johnny Ramone was a post-9/11 Republican, like Dennis MIller and Kelsey Grammer (9/11 roughly coinciding with KG realizing he had more money than God and half a Koch brother, just sayin’)
Popper, IIRC, was/is a gun nut who got mad ’cause he couldn’t smoke in restaurants, but turned on Bush in the fourth or fifth year of the Iraq War.
I’m sure neo-Country type will come up with a campaign anthem for Michele, One-L.

The best solution to this crisis is for you to email Bachmann’s office the link to the What’s On Your iPod thread and if Michele can’t find a good song in that thread you can always start a new What’s On Your iPod thread.

No, Johnny leaned that way long before 9/11. It led to some conflict in the band, since Joey was a true lefty. Let’s just say Johnny did not exactly love “Bonzo Goes To Bitburg.”

John Lennon: Not a closet Republican

Triassic Sands
Is there a song “Wasted on Acid?” That would be pharmacologically inaccurate, since Bachmann’s trip is naturally induced by a huge overdose of Modern Republican ideological orthodoxy, but at least it has the virtue of approximating the insanity of her entire being.
Then again, someone could compose a song like “My Brain is All Rotten and I’m a Complete Lying Idiot” and who could complain if Bachmann adopted that as her campaign song.
Obviously, Bachmann needs to find her campaign theme song in the musical “genius” of Ted Nugent. I just looked up some Nugent titles and without knowing anything at all about the music behind the titles, I’ve got to say “Dog Eat Dog” sounds like the perfect title to represent the Modern Republican Party’s ideology. And “Cat Scratch Fever” has a ring to it. Unfortunately, when I looked up the lyrics, both songs were pretty much incomprehensible garbage, which makes them worthless as music, but quite possibly perfect for the Lunatic from Waterloo, who could be known as the “Waterloonatic.”
The nice thing about “Dog Eat Dog” is that people get shot and killed and overall it reads like the ranting of a complete lunatic — perfect for Michelle. I don’t have the guts to actually seek out a clip from any of Nugent’s songs. The very little I’ve heard from him over the years has been generally unlistenable, so why torture myself?
Other Nugent titles that have potential (someone else will have to listen to them — I’m sure as hell not going to):
Crazy Ladies — perfect title for a Bachmann/Palin ticket; they’d have to sort out who’s top dog
Little Miss Dangerous — a perfect description of Bachmann
Out of Control — the appeal is obvious
She Drives Me Crazy — but it’s really Michelle who’s nuts
Take It or Leave It — obvious homage to the Modern Repubicans’ idea of democratic compromise
I’ve never paid any attention to Nugent’s “music,” but the few songs whose lyrics I just read were largely incomprehensible and utter trash as musical lyrics (0r as anything else). On the other hand, they did sound like the rantings and ravings of a lunatic, which does make a strong argument that they’d be right for Michelle — the Waterloonatic.
Michelle, dear, if by “Walking on Sunshine” you mean you’re wasted on Orange Sunshine, perhaps you should call Jimmy Carter — he’ll talk you down.

It wouldn’t surprise me if John Lennon was a closet republican in 1980.
He had entered mid-life, he was in a high tax bracket (70%), and New York City was in the midst of a decades long high rate of crime (ie the blackout riot of 1977).
He wouldn’t be the first rich guy to go galt under such circumstances. Nor were leftys turned reagoons a rare occurance. A chunk of the “old-left” in NYC became neo-cons at that time period.
And if you think Lennon was too smart and too left to turn right, just think about Hitchens. A committed Trotskyite and pacifist, he turned on a dime into a blood thirsty neo-con, due to the combination of entering mid-life, falling into the highest tax bracket, and violence in NYC (9/11).
4jkb4ia
@hamletta:
Then you have got me, because these people have actual life experience. I particularly bow in the presence of John Hiatt. I defined “Nashville ghetto” as “what can get played on country radio”. Hiatt at least isn’t in either because he can get on rock tours/clubs.
hamletta
Oh, then we have an understanding. I define “Nashville ghetto” as “crap that passes for ‘country.'” I was no country fan when I moved here 30 years ago, but I quickly learned to respect the artists that still ruled the roost here then.
A few years later, I got to likin’ ’em.
Taylor Swift, sweet girl that she is, represents the prolonged Disney-fication of my town and its musical riches. I hope she’s the apex, because she does have talent, and she could get interesting once she’s lived a little.
