Some time ago, fellow Kosling WendellGee made
this diary entry. I was a littoe bored at work today, so I decided to see what I could come up with. So, here it is.
This should be sung to the tune of James K. Polk, by They Might Be Gaints. If you don't know it, you should give it a listen. Not for the sake of my meager little sing, but because it's a good song by a great band. And it has a solo done not be a guitar, but by a singing saw. Yes, a saw. Like you use to cut things.
Anyhow, here it is.
In Two Thousand and Four, the Democrats were split
The nine nominees for the Presidential candidate
Included Senator John Kerry,
A Viet Nam war vet
And the Elfin Kucinich
Joe Lieberman, a moderate
Wesley Clark, a general and multilateralist
From Montpelier came a great surprise
Dr. Howard Dean, the Governor of Vermont.
Austere, sincere, he held the people dear
His oratories made his allies cheer.
But the party couldn't see
He'd be just the man they'd need
To bring about victory
Reverse international animosity
And return us to fiscal reality
And yet, the people know the answer was
Dr. Howard Dean, the Governor of Vermont.
Month after month, he crushed fundraising goals
Won Iowa, New Hampshire and many of the polls
His Meet-Up numbers swelled
And the Democrats beheld
His electability
His campaign's ingenuity
And his stalwart faith in our Democracy
And when the vote was cast, the winner was
Dr. Howard Dean, our 44th President
Yes, Howard Dean, the Governor of Vermont.
Yes. Well. Let me know if you like it.
Or, add your own. I'm sure someone can come up with something better, or at least something done to a more familiar tune.
