A weekly playlist for the listener with a one-track mind. Special '08 Election Songs Edition: Guaranteed (almost) 100 percent Will.I.Am free!
Orrin Hatch (songwriter): "Together Forever" Sen./part-time composer Orrin Hatch, an early backer of Mitt Romney for president, wrote this song for John McCain because McCain is his friend, and because nothing rhymes with "Romney." Somewhere, John Ashcroft is weeping.
Lloyd Marcus: "Sarah Smile" Marcus, the country musician and self-proclaimed "American Black Conservative," set this Palin homage to the tune of Hall & Oates's "Sara Smile," because why not?
Vlad & Boris: "Song for Sarah" Their names probably aren't really Vlad and Boris, and maybe they can't vote in this country anyway. But it's good to know McCain-Palin have the "guys who wear fur hats and long underwear and resemble serial killers" vote pretty much sewn up.
Jay Jay French: "I Want Barack!" In a move sure to anger McCain supporter Dee Snider, his Twisted Sister band mate French refashions the group's "I Wanna Rock" into an Obama shout-out. We hope this won't affect the reunion tour.
Black Sheep: "The Choice Is Yours" (Taster's Choice remix) Dres, one half of the New York hip-hop duo Black Sheep, retools this classic "Bush 41"-era track with new, Obama-friendly lyrics.
Boy George: "Yes We Can" We've been so thoughtlessly preoccupied with the fate of the nation, we've forgotten to ask a very important question: What does Boy George think about the election, and how does it relate to his current legal troubles? Could he maybe explain it to us by remaking that drippy "Yes We Can" song? And maybe he could make an accompanying video with images of Amy Winehouse and Quentin Crisp, because that would really clear things up? Yes, he can!
