What music does John McCain use for his campaign?
http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/07/11/mccain-opts-for-easy-listening-on-campaign-trail/">CNN reports that Barack Obama has used many popular songs at his campaign stops, such as U2’s “City of Blinding of Lights”.

What are some of the songs you'd expect to hear at John McCain campaign stop?

My pick is "Nearer, My God to Thee", the song they played as the Titanic sank, what's your pick?

19. That's the right style of music, but...
...McCain is too old to do any of the things the Candyman in the song does.

12. ABBA
Yes, I'm serious. Caught the end of one of his stump speeches on C-SPAN a while back, and "Take a Chance on Me" played as he left the stage.

Outsourcing the campaign music.... typical Repuke.

23. I think he's down to Sea Shantys and Gregorian Chants
No modern songwriter wants anything to do with him.

Luckily, it's the music from his childhood.

26. Witch! Blasphemer! What is this thing called "music"?
Because somewhere a right-wing nut bag told McCain that music is for heathens... so now McCain is against music

44. Depends by Blink-182, followed by the tune Changes
I don't want to urinate on myself
I don't want to urinate on anyone else
Well, I guess that really doesn't matter anymore
Because I can't control my bladder anymore

Well, I guess it all depends (undergarments)
Well, I guess it all depends (undergarments)

Step back into life
No more soiled nights alone
But I guess I don't have a care
Because there's not a load in my underwear

I'm sick of offending everyone I meet (go, go, go, go)
I'm sick of crying myself to sleep on rubber sheets (go)
I had an accident today
I left a soil on a bus seat, I didn't know what to say

But, I guess it all depends (undergarments)
Well, I guess it all depends (undergarments)

Step back into life (go, go)
No more soiled nights alone
Well, I guess that I don't have a care
If I don't have a load in my underwear
