As you know, the tune "Hail to the Chief" is played to announce the entrance of the President at ceremonial functions. It is, in fact, the OFFICIAL anthem of the President of the United States (POTUS). As an aside, in the six years since Bush's coronation most people with a memory of decency have referred to the tune as "Hail to the Thief" or "Jail to the Chief".
This is all well and good, but it seems to me that the office of Vice President has been short-changed in the anthem department and am herewith starting a campaign to rectify this slight to the second highest office in the land. Let history record that the groundswell for real anthem reform started right here.
All important societal advances take a long time, so until the anthem suggestions are in and the final choice is codified into law, I offer these to serve until the 2008 election.
For those occasions when both George Bush(POTUS) and Dick Cheney(SCROTUM) (not an acronym, but it is what he is) appear together at a function, play "Pomp and Circumstance", which would become "Chimp and Monkey Dance".
For functions at which SCROTUM appears alone, I recommend:
1) WATER BOY
2)YOU GOTTA HAVE(a)HEART
3) SAVE THE LAST(rope) DANCE FOR ME
4)ACHY BREAKY HEART
5) theme from THE LYIN' KING
6)UNCHAIN MY HEART
7)SMILE
8)CHICKEN(hawk) DANCE
9) theme from UNFORGIVEN
10) TAPS - ( my favorite)
Please compile your own favorites an send them to
selections committee@whitehouse.ugh
The winner will be awarded a trip to a Syrian prison. Best of luck!
