They may as well play "The Hook," by Blues Traveller just to round that list of irony out.
no "Eminem - slim shady" on the list?
hmm, i wonder why they dont use it
love how halfway through you just gave up "quoting" the song names lol
I got lazy haha
...Does the campaign realize what House of the Rising Sun is about?
That's not important. As long as the Voters don't know or don't care, it does the Job
Or "Keep on Rocking in the Free World"
Or "Fortunate Son"
Or "Born in the USA"
To be fair, completely missing the actual message of “Born in the USA” is a longstanding republican tradition.
Which is a bit surprising since that's kind of hard to do.
I mean if you literally just ignore all of the lyrics except the part where Bruce is nearly screaming "born in the usa" like a lamentation... I guess it's possible.
Or "Electric Avenue"
My guess is… they got some one managing trumps twitter to post it so they could boost sales.
Because. I mean. Who’s actually listening to nickleback? And not, like, just at a strip club?
It was probably Rock star.
Apparently it was in fact photograph
Though I’m sure I’ve never heard that song…
