Between that and the "raising McCain" song from Rich of Big and Rich, I don't see how McCain could lose.
I haven't heard that...of course I only know one B&R song, so it would probably sound stupid to me no matter what he said...
I like Bocephus. I can't defend him against being a 'redneck dumbass', but probably like his daddy, he is a 'redneck dumbass' with songs that I like. It would be interesting to know who wrote those lyrics. Here is a transcript from Marc Ambinder for any who don't want to bother with the YouTube link. Sorry if the formatting is bad. I still have trouble typing in this tiny box: McCain - Palin Tradition By Hank Williams Jr. The left wing liberal media have Always been a real close knit family But, most of the American People Don't believe em anyway ya see Stop and think it over Before you make your decision If they smell something They're gonna come down strong It's a McCain - Palin tradition Now this old Union's got problems That is plain to see The Democrats bankrupted Fannie Mae N Freddie Mac Just like 1, 2, 3 The bankers didn't want to make all those bad loans, But Bill Clinton said you got to Now they want a bail out, what I'm talking about Is a Democrat liberal who doo CHORUS John N Sarah tell ya Just what they think And they're not gonna blink And they're gonna fix this country Cause they're just like you N ole Hank Yes John is a maverick And Sarah fixed Alaska's broken condition They're gonna go just fine We're headed for better times It's a McCain - Palin tradition I am very proud of America's name Bu no society is perfect And we have had our stains If I'm down at the coffee shop and Somebody wants to give our flag friction We say please move on Cause we're standing strong That's an old John McCain tradition CHORUS John N Sarah tell ya Just what they think And they're not gonna blink And they're gonna fix this country Cause they're just like you N ole Hank Yes John is a maverick And Sarah fixed Alaska's broken condition They're gonna go just fine We're headed for better times It's a McCain - Palin tradition Some are bound to tell you I'm Preaching to the choir And that is very true And we are going even higher Like a mama bear in Idaho She'll protect your family's condition If you mess with her cubs She's gonna take of the gloves It's an American female tradition CHORUS John N Sarah tell ya Just what they think And they're not gonna blink And they're gonna fix this country Cause they're just like you N ole Hank Yes John is a maverick And Sarah fixed Alaska's broken condition They're gonna go just fine We're headed for better times It's a McCain - Palin tradition
Maybe the dumbest lyrics I've ever seen. Shame he had to ruin one of his own signature songs. Takin' off the gloves to defend her cubs? C'mon.
I was a huge HWJr fan in high school, while I was still developing mentally and educating myself. While there are a few songs that still appeal to me (perhaps only due to the wistful memories they invoke), as I grew both in body and mind, I also grew away a great deal from the not-fully-educated teenage mentality to whom much of his music appeals. That's about all I can see this song appealing to, as well.
You guys need to relax and have fun once in a while. Hank Williams Jr is some of the best tailgating music around!! - Family Tradition - Country Boy Can Survive - Whiskey Bent & Hell Bound Awesome!
