am I the only one that hears "Hail to the Chief" and thinks of the movie Dave
where Kline is in the shower singing "Hail to the Chief, I'm the one they all say Hail too"

I think of that scene...
Hilarious!

5. I think of that or Jack Lemmon's and James Garners's versions in My Fellow Americans
Lemmons: "Hail to the chief, he's the chief and he needs hailing. He is the chief so everybody hail like crazy."

Garner: "Hail to the chief, if you don't I'll have to kill you. I am the chief so you'd better watch your step you bastards."

:rofl:

8. I was thinking of the movie "Dave" strictly from all the Secret Service agents
all over the place, and how stressful this kind of event is for them :o

9. Followed by the subtle implication by Sigourney Weaver
that the Commander in Chief is starting to salute.

10. "Hail to the Chief, he's the chief and he needs hailing"
Edited on Tue Jan-20-09 11:00 PM by orangepeel68
Thanks to some movie I barely remember with Jack Lemon and Walter Mathieu, I always hear it like that.

On edit: Oops! James Garner. I should have read the rest of the thread first!

13. I think of MASH
MASH the movie, that is:

Hail to the Chief
He's the best of all the surgeons
He needs a queen
To satisfy his urges.

Hail to the Chief
He's the best of all the Trappers
He needs a queen
To sit upon his lapper.

Hail to the Chief
He's the best of all the cutters
He needs a queen
To satisfy the others.

Hail to the Chief
Our Colonel did elect him
He took his orders
And shoved them up his rectum.

Radar's verse:
Long live the Chief
The Colonel did elect him
He took all his orders
And shoved them up his nose.

He's got the power, that's why he's in the shower!

18. I don't know, but I always wanted a pair of presidential pajamas.
Do they really give that to you if you are President?
