   “Hey, what’s the name of that Who song where the guy goes…yeeaaaahhhhggggg.”

   With three musical remixes of his Iowa concession speech on the Billboard charts and his chances for the White House shrinking by the minute, Howard Dean announced that he will become a recording artist. “I’m bigger than CLAY AIKIN!” said the former governor.

   “Jimi Hendrix appeared to me in a dream and taught me this song on the hotel faucet.”

   Uh-oh, I think I sat on the microphone stand.

   “Spent my days with a woman unkind
   Smoked my stuff and drank all my wine.
   Made up my mind to make a new start
   Going to California–and NEW YORK! And SOUTH CAROLINA! And MICHIGAN! . . . .”

   All together now — My head hurts, my feet stink, and I don’t love Jesus . . .

   No one was able to distinguish the singin’ from the howls of all the neighborhood dogs.

   To boost his sagging popularity in the polls, Howard Dean strikes a deal with the Ford Motor Company to replace Toby Keith as their “Ford Tough” singing spokesperson.

   Yip Yur!

    “…and now for a song of great social and political import”

    “Oh Lord, won’t you please, give me more votes.
    John Kerry’s been winning, now New Hampshires my hope.
    Worked so hard in Iowa, but I screamed like a dope.
    Oh Lord, won’t you please, give me more votes.”

    (A la Julie Andrews…)

    “Let’s start at the very beginning. A very good place to start. When you read you begin with A-B-C. When you freak, you begin with Do-Re-AAAAAAHHHHHHH!”

    I’m going to hit it big by remixing myself. Everybody else seems to be doing it.

    “If I had a hammer/ I’d hammer on John Kerry/ I’d hammer on John Edwards/ I’d hammer on Wes Clark / And then George Bush… “

    “I’ve done a lot of campaigning / And Lord knows I’ve looked like an ass / But I had a huge lead out in Iowa / But I pissed it away so fast/ Never meant to last / My ass is grass.”

    “Now it’s time for the second verse of my Janis Joplin sing-a-long”

    “Oh Lord, won’t ya please, Pump up my votes.
    I’m not bad like past Dems, I’m no o’er sexed goat.
    Dukakis had tank hair, Al Gore was a joke.
    Oh Lord, won’t ya please, Pump up my votes.”

    “Thank you, Thank you, there’ll be a third verse when it comes around on the guitar.”
18. Kathy K January 24, 2004

    Imagine there’s no Kerry
    It’s easy if you try…
19. Kathy K January 24, 2004

    Sorry, Jay Tea, Tiger got my vote.

    Though I’ll trump both of you with:
    Changes in latitutes, changes in attitudes, nothing remains quite the same. Through all of my running and all of my cunning, if I weren’t crazy I wouldn’t be insane….

    (With apologies to J. Buffett.)

    Oh, Allah wins.
21. Timmer January 24, 2004

    You’ve heard the orginal track over and over and over again. You’ve heard remix after remix…

    Now, Viacom in association with VH1 proudly presents…

    “YEAAAAGGGHHHH!!!! Unplugged.”
22. Jay Tea January 24, 2004

    Kathy K:
    I think I score SOME points for adapting the original, although you and Tiger both did find appropriate lines…

    OK, a non-song lyric:

    “I was taught this one by my good friend and supporter, Art Garfunkel. He also tossed in a little bag of seasoning inside it, but I can’t tell if it’s parsley, sage, rosemary, or thyme.”
23. Rodney Dill January 24, 2004

    “Ok folks now its time for the third verse, please note that just like my campaign, things go from bad to worse.”

    “Oh Lord, won’t you ful-fill my POTUS hopes,
    Knock off my competition, then make George Bush croak.
    If you can’t whack dubya, then please let the Pope,
    Oh Lord, won’t you ful-fill my POTUS hopes. “

    In other news, Joan Baez was found in a sleazy New Hampshire hotel today, apparently the victim of a drive-by yeaaarrrghhh.

    “Goin’ to Carolina, won’t be long ’til I’ll be there.”

    (Sorry, Dickie.)
27. Kathy K January 25, 2004

    Jay Tea,
    I did adapt the lyrics. I changed a ‘would’ to a ‘wouldn’t’ and plural to singular.

    (If I hadn’t changed the lyrics, I wouldn’t have apologized to Mr. Buffett.)

    After Dean’s “grinding his axe” electric guitar performance proved too aggressive for most fans, Dean switched to a more mellow acoustic style.
