I'm it

Gad-zooks. Tagged again. Okay, how does this work?

1. Turn your iPod (or whatever thing houses your music collection) on shuffle
2. See how long it takes you to get to a song that'll disqualify you from the Presidency.

Here we go...

1. "[Untitled Track]" from the album (What's the Story) Morning Glory by Oasis. It's 44 seconds of electric guitar music played to the sound of moving water. I couldn't imagine what that may signify, except that I'm possibly speechless and without words for this task.

2. "Hallelujah" John Cale. Lyrics are obviously religious in reference (good) but since I'm not versed in Christian references without the help of Wikipedia (bad) I'm going to have to take a crack and say that the lyrics, "She tied you to a kitchen chair / She broke your throne, she cut your hair / And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah," foretell the wrath of Sarah Palin as a Delilah figure? Yikes!

3. "Too Little Too Late" Barenaked Ladies. Having a physically close proximity to Canada does count as foreign policy, after all.

4. "Perfect World" Huey Lewis & the News. This song talks about the inability to imagine a future and trust disintegrating over time. I have no hope of winning anyone over on the campaign trail with this song.

5. "Changes" David Bowie. The lyrics, "And these children that you spit on / As they try to change their worlds / Are immune to your consultations / They're quite aware of what they're going through, " should be a warning to the right wing.

6. "Goodbye Earl" Dixie Chicks. Pop-country (republican), female empowerment (democratic). It's a story about a small town girl marrying the first guy that comes along (localized issues) and a small town girl who goes out into the world to find her way (global perspective). At the end of the song, the girls take matters into their own hands against a law breaker (vigilante activity) and eventually become small business owners (participation in a free market society). The song's propensity for being all over the politicized spectrum with no focus could make me a front runner on the Republican ticket.
