Super Pancake Tuesday!
Tuesday, February 5th, 2008
It’s Mardi Gras - time to stuff your face and then fast for 40 days! Woo hoo! More flapjacks, please, Aunt Jemima!
It’s also Super Tuesday in the U.S., with voters in two dozen states either going to the polls or caucus today. I came across a list of tunes that presidential candidates are using on the campaign trail, so I thought I’d share them with you:
John McCain has replaced Johnny B. Goode by Chuck Berry with Abba’s Take a Chance on Me. Bad move, Johnny. You’re taking a chance, alright.
Hillary Clinton has been using American Girl by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. Good call, not only because it’s a great song, but also because that was the tune that kicked off the halftime show at Super Bowl.
Barack Obama was spinning Stevie Wonder’s Signed, Sealed, Delivered, but he recently replaced it with Lovely Day by Bill Withers.
What do you think of these tunes? Do you think they’re good choices? What would you pick? If I were running, I’d choose something a little edgier, like The Who’s Won’t Get Fooled Again or Right Now by Van Halen or maybe even Revolution by The Beatles. Have your say in the Comments/Reply section below.
