I like the Obama idea of silence instead of muzak. But if he were to start to use "Bright Future in Sales" as his entrance theme, my vote would be locked-in. If I were running for something, I think I would use "How I Spent My Summer" by Cat Mother & The All-Night Newsboys as produced by Jimi Hendrix (and when will their catalog *ever* be released?) http://apnews.myway.com/article/20070202/D8N1S28G1.html Feb 2, 5:53 PM (ET) By NEDRA PICKLER WASHINGTON (AP) - Everyone needs a soundtrack - even politicians. The presidential candidates who addressed the Democratic National Committee's winter meeting Friday got to choose their tunes, and it was an eclectic mix that reflected personal favorites and not-so-subtle messages. Some candidates requested two songs, one that blared as they approached the stage and another that played as they left the podium. The selections: _John Edwards: "This Is Our Country" by John Mellencamp. _Sen. Chris Dodd of Connecticut: "Get Ready (Cause Here I Come)" by the Temptations and "Reach Out," also by the Temptations. _Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York: "Right Here, Right Now," by Jesus Jones and "Ain't Seen Nothing Yet" by Bachman-Turner Overdrive. _Rep. Dennis Kucinich of Ohio: "America the Beautiful" Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois decided against using any music in keeping with the somber tone he sought to convey. Wesley Clark, who hasn't indicated whether he will run, entered to Johnny Cash's "I Won't Back Down." --- Sleeping on a planter at the Port Authority Waiting for my bus to come Seven scotch-and-sodas at the office party Now I don't remember where I'm from I think I had a black wallet In my back pocket With a bus ticket And a picture of my baby inside And if I make it home alive I'm gonna get my shit together 'Cause I can't live like this forever You know I've come too far And I don't want to fail I got a new computer And a bright future in sales Yeah, yeah A bright future in sales Yeah, yeah Heading for the airport on a misty morning Gonna catch a flight to Baltimore Try to kill an hour with a whiskey sour If there's time I might have just one more I gotta do some quick reading For the big meeting But my head is spinning And I can't quite open my eyes As long as I don't have to drive I'm gonna get my shit together 'Cause I can't live like this forever You know I've come too far And I don't want to fail I got a new computer And a bright future in sales Yeah, yeah A bright future in sales Yeah, yeah I had a line on a brand new account But now I can't seem to find Where I wrote that number down I try to focus, I'm staring at the screen Pretending like I know What all these little flashing lights mean I gotta do some quick reading For the big meeting But my head is spinning And I can't quite open my eyes I gotta get my shit together 'Cause I can't live like this forever You know I've come too far And I don't want to fail I got a new computer And a bright future in sales Yeah, yeah A bright future in sales Yeah, yeah
