Who among us has not been entertained and amused by Teddy K singing in Spanish? Jalisco! Jalisco! At one point, I thought I might have recognized the piece he was singing, but then...no.
He was just a few days too soon with that little number, though. If he waited, he could have belted out Hillary's new Hispanic campaign song. I am not kidding when I tell you that I am positively obsessed with this after just one listen. You will be too. The full story complete with lyrics can be found at Wonkette.
Oh, pleeeeeze , Associated Press - please give me a photo of HRC onstage somewhere is Texas with Walter Suhr and the Mango Punch! playing this in the background. Wouldn't you like to see her dancing around to the happy beat?
I'm not even making fun of this! I'm partial to Tejano music. This is too much pleasure for me. Listen:
Hillary, Hillary Clinton (por ella voto yo)
Hillary, Hillary Clinton (por ella voto yo)
Too bad her big yap has to open up at the end and endorse the message. Harsh!
UPDATE: Mi gentes! Obama's got a Reggeton campaign song! El gigante!
"Como Se Dice...Como Se llama? (OBAMA, OBAMA)"
"Como Se Dice...Como Se llama? (OBAMA, OBAMA)"
This one is almost as good as the Optimum Online Triple Play commercial. Free advice to the Obama campaign people - try to buy 877 393 4-4-4-8 as the phone number to get people to volunteer/ donate/ whatever for your candidate. It can't miss. And that disco whistle! I want this played at his Inaugural Ball.
Where is John McCain's campaign song? Better get a move on, Johnny. How about some Champagne Music? Maybe the Lawrence Welk Orchestra is still together? Or you could prop up Huey Lewis and the News for a recording session.
I just know I won't be able to work at all today because I just died and went to Campaign Song Heaven.
I am so sick of that stupid Optimum commercial. Especially when the song gets stuck in my head. Argh!

Whenever I hear these assaults on my ears and nervous system, I always tell myself, in my softest, most coddling, reassuring tone...much like the way I would speak softly to a child: "Eight hundred five eight eight two three hundred....Empiiiiire." And then, as if by magic, I feel all better.

Forget about Teddy singing this song.
I can't get past the size of his head. ;^}
