Inspired by the Thatcher and Reagan threads, though not specifically looking for negative songs [it's OH SO EASY, though!], name a political leader or a few and the songs that match them best!

Me?

George W. Bush: "Sleep Now in the Fire" - Rage Against the Machine.

Figured I'd start off with an easy target. And...

Rush Limbaugh: "Pusher Man" - Steppenwolf

And in the interest of "equality":

Al Gore: "Has Been" - William Shatner

Kim Beazley: The one tonne Rodeo TV advert music

Pauline Hanson: I Don't like it

Harold Holt: Under the sea

[edit]Peter Beattie: Razzle dazzle

Even though I am an avid Republican and Bush-supporter and voter, I just can't pass up this opportunity....George W. Bush - "George of the Jungle". I'm pretty sure he'd get a laugh out of it too. Now, who else?

John Kerry - "The Munsters"
Ralph Nader - "Part of That World" (you know, from the Little Mermaid)
Saddam Hussein and Osama Bin Laden - "Hit the Road, Jack"
Bill Clinton - "Oops I Did it Again"

Dude, you took the words right out of my mouth. But I think an even better choice for Dubya would be Weird Al's "Genius in France". Insult his intelligence, and bring France into it, too. That's a one-two punch!

sorry about all the posts, but this is fun... lol

the Pope (not really a politician, but basically head of state of the Vatican): Ding dong the pope is dead (as heard in Wizard of Oz)

That is exactly what went through my head when I found out the pope died! Granted then I felt like a horrible person, but I couldn't really help it ^_^

Ralph Nader

"A Drug Against War"- KMFDM

Michael Peroutka

"Preach / Pervert"- KMFDM

Bill Clinton

"Sex Offender"- Front Line Assembly

Lewinsky/Clinton:
*The Bad Touch - The Bloodhound Gang
or
*Let's Misbehave - Cole Porter (from Anything Goes)

Dubya:
*Wonderful - from Wicked

Yeah... I doubt anyone here has heard about "Let's Misbehave" or "Wonderful" unless they're into musicals, like myself. The title, "Let's Misbehave" probably speaks for itself, but here are some of the lyrics from "Wonderful" so you can get the gist...

A MAN'S CALLED A TRAITOR -- OR LIBERATOR
A RICH MAN'S A THIEF -- OR PHILANTHROPIST
IS ONE A CRUSADER -- OR RUTHLESS INVADER?
IT'S ALL IN WHICH LABEL
IS ABLE TO PERSIST
THERE ARE PRECIOUS FEW AT EASE
WITH MORAL AMBIGUITIES
SO WE ACT AS THOUGH THEY DON'T EXIST

ok. Sorry for my obscure song choices...but hey! It works, right?

P.S.
