How about SOS by ABBA? Just trying to help…
By Zoltan Abraham / The Rag Blog / September 18, 2008
Check out our suggestions below.
McCain has a music problem. He has a hard time using songs at his campaign rallies without being challenged by the artist for copyright infringement.
Orleans, John Cougar Mellencamp, Mike Myers, Frankie Valli, Jackson Browne, Van Halen, Heart, and ABBA have all complained, and in some cases have even initiated legal action.
But since McCain seems undeterred, why not give him some suggestions for the songs that he *should* use at his rallies?

And for old times’ sake, here is the old Bush and Blair lovesong – not in the best of taste, but still wickedly funny:
Zoltan Abraham is affiliated with Progressives for Obama.
LOVED IT, LOVED IT! I’ll send you the lyrics and video link so you can check out one called
THE REDNECK IN WASILLA – you might add that to your musical suggestions for McCain & Palin
THE VIDEO OF BUSH AND MAJORS WAS SPECTACULAR!
POST SCRIPT: I liked ENDLESS LOVE and SHOULD I STAY OR SHOULD I GO that I also found on the video list!
This is terrific.
I sent a link and cartoon to Richard – I titled that with the song title, DO IT TO ME ONE MORE TIME.
Reference? McCain/Keating/this mess we’re in right now!
