If you ran for office, what would your theme song be?
I'd go with "Kick out the Jams" by MC5. Including the begining "Kick out the Jams Mother fuckers!"

3. Before I'd even finished reading the subject, the "Batman" title music popped into my head.
I really don't think that this is a good sign, on many levels.

15. By doing the Batusi, of course.


I'll have to conclude that the world would be more interesting if I were ever in power, yet all the more frightening for it.

9. In the spirit of your MC5 suggestion, I'd go with "Baby, I'm an Anarchist" by Against Me!
Think I'd get any votes? ;)

Through the best of times,
Through the worst of times,
Through Nixon and through Bush,
Do you remember '36?
We went our separate ways.
You fought for Stalin.
I fought for freedom.
You believe in authority.
I believe in myself.
I'm a molotov cocktail.
You're Dom Perignon.
Baby, what's that confused look in your eyes?
What I'm trying to say is that
I burn down buildings
While you sit on a shelf inside of them.
You call the cops
On the looters and piethrowers.
They call it class war,
I call it co-conspirators.

'Cause baby, I'm an anarchist,
You're a spineless liberal.
We marched together for the eight-hour day
And held hands in the streets of Seattle,
But when it came time to throw bricks
Through that Starbucks window,
You left me all alone.

You watched in awe at the red,
White, and blue on the fourth of july.
While those fireworks were exploding,
I was burning that fucker
And stringing my black flag high,
Eating the peanuts
That the parties have tossed you
In the back seat of your father's new Ford.
You believe in the ballot,
Believe in reform.
You have faith in the elephant and jackass,
And to you, solidarity's a four-letter word.
We're all hypocrites,
But you're a patriot.
You thought I was only joking
When I screamed "Kill Whitey!"
At the top of my lungs
At the cops in their cars
And the men in their suits.
No, I won't take your hand
And marry the State.

'Cause baby, I'm an anarchist,
You're a spineless liberal.
We marched together for the eight-hour day
And held hands in the streets of Seattle,
But when it came time to throw bricks
Through that Starbucks window,
You left me all alone.

11. You thinking of "Why Don't We Get Drunk" by Jimmy Buffett?
Cause, dude, if you don't even know the proper name of the song, you're so not allowed to use it. :P

19. Man on the silver mountain, the Ronnie James Dio version

I'm a wheel, I'm a wheel,
I can roll, I can feel
(And) You can't stop me turning

'cause I'm the sun, I'm the sun,
I can move, I can run,
But you'll never stop me burning

Come down with fire
Lift my spirit higher
Someone's screaming my name
Come and make me holy again

I'm the man on the silver mountain
I'm the man on the silver mountain

I'm the day, I'm the day,
I can show you the way
And look, I'm right beside you

I'm the night, I'm the night,
I'm the dark in the light
With eyes that see inside you

Come down with fire
Lift my spirit higher
Someone's screaming my name
Come and make me holy again

I'm the man on the silver mountain
I'm the man on the silver mountain
< Lyrics provided by www.mp3lyrics.org >

Come down with fire
Lift my spirit higher
Someone's screaming my name
Come and make me holy again

I'm the man on the silver mountain
I'm the man on the silver mountain

Well, I can help you, you know I can,
I'm the man on the silver mountain
I'm the man on the silver mountain

Just look at me and listen
I'm the man, the man, here go my hand
I'm the man on the silver mountain

Come down with fire
Lift my spirit higher
I'm the man on the mountain
I'm the man on the silver mountain

Since I would be running as an openly gay candidate, might as well go with the classics.

33. The Gauntlet
Dropkick Murphys. Acually, I used this as my intro music at the Dem State Convention in 2006, when I briefly ran for Congress. In a hall full of boomers, the song went over about as well as my campaign...

34. Elected by Alice Cooper, of course.


I'm your top prime cut of meat, I'm your choice,
I wanna be elected,
I'm your yankee doodle dandy in a gold Rolls Royce,
I wanna be elected,
Kids want a saviour, don't need a fake,
I wanna be elected,
We're all gonna rock to the rules that I make,
I wanna be elected, elected, elected.

I never lied to you, I've always been cool,
I wanna be elected,
I gotta get the vote, and I told you 'bout school,
I wanna be elected, elected, elected,
Hallelujah, I wanna be selected,
By the people of the United States of America.

We're gonna win this one, take the country by storm,
We're gonna be elected,
You and me together, young and strong,
We're gonna be elected, elected, elected,
Respected, selected, call collected,
I wanna be elected, elected.

"And if I am elected
I promise the formation of a new party
A third party, the Wild Party!
I know we have problems,
We have problems right here in Central City,
We have problems on the North, South, East and West,
New York City, Saint Louis, Philadelphia, Los Angeles,
Detroit, Chicago,
Everybody has problems,
And personally, I don't care."

I've actually thought of thisbefore.
I'd love to run and get Alice to do a "kickoff" show.
