4. Days Go By - Keith Urban
5. I Want To Live - Josh Gracin

For example:

Song: #15 - If Nobody Believed In You
RNC Version: If Nobody Believed In You, You'd Need a Convention As Full of BS as This One Is

12. I got my own song
Wrote this a while back.
(To the tune of "Proud to Be An American")

Proud to Be A Republican

If tomorrow all the blacks were gone
All the poor and all the queers
I think that I would celebrate
With a couple frosty beers.

And I'd thank my lucky stars
To be livin' here, today.
'Cuz I still got my SUV
And they can't take that awaaaaaaaaaaaay.

CHORUS
And I'm proud to be a Republican
Where at least I know I'm free
To belittle and humiliate
Those worse off than me
And I'll gladly stand up
Next to you
Just as long as you're not gay
'Cuz there ain't no doubt I love this laaaaaaaaand
But keep those types away

From the mighty hills of Texas
To elsewhere in the South
It's fun to hear the silly things
That tumble out our mouth

From tax cuts for the wealthy
To drilling in the snow
And I sure as hell can't figure out
Why we passed on Kyotoooooooooooo

CHORUS (Version 2)
And I'm proud to be a Republican
Where at least I know I'm free
To belittle and humiliate
Those worse off than me
And I'll gladly stand up
Next to you
At the next commercial break
'Cuz there ain't no doubt I love this land
But O'Reilly's on at 8......

13. Brilliant, comicstripper!
I thought that was simply beautiful. I am wiping away a crocodile tear as I type.
