Republicans are rocking out to "My Sharona"

[Zorro]

Sheesh.

[muntrv]

1. Don't tell them that the lead singer's brother is Jeffrey Feiger, Dr. Kevorkian's lawyer.

[louis-t]

14. Doug Feiger died a few years ago.

I'm sure Geoff isn't real pleased with repugs using that song. He's a true Democrat.

[The Second Stone]

15. I didn't know that. Feiger is a damn good lawyer.

Rock on

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. Did anybody actually listen to the lyrics before choosing that song?

Ooh, my little pretty one, my pretty one
When you gonna give me some time, Sharona
Ooh, you make my motor run, my motor run
Got it coming off o' the line, Sharona

Never gonna stop, give it up, such a dirty mind
I always get it up, for the touch of the younger kind
My, my, my, aye-aye, whoa!
M-m-m-my Sharona

Come a little closer, huh, a-will ya, huh?
Close enough to look in my eyes, Sharona
Keeping it a mystery, it gets to me
Running down the length of my thigh, Sharona

Never gonna stop, give it up, such a dirty mind
I always get it up for the touch of the younger kind

and so forth. Family values...

5. Well. This is reminiscent of...

...Bush 41 and Quayle celebrating to the strains of one of the iconic songs from La Cage Aux Folles. I about LMAO.

[lillypaddle]

13. Rocking out?

hand clap ... head nod ... clap ... smile ..hand clap ...nod ... etc. Oh yeah! Rock it you repug assholes!

[Sheepshank]

17. Mostly rocking out when the camera showed them on the big screen

otherwise it was break time.

audience members trying so hard to have energy at the appropriate moments...and it failed so badly.

[LeftRant]

18. All of that is OK (if you're not gay).

[TexasBushwhacker]

19. And Sharona was 17 to Doug Feiger's 25 n/t

[rurallib]

3. Will this get them a cease and desist order from the band?

like it usually does

[CincyDem]

4. I think The Knack was a one hit wonder.

So there's probably no name brand personality to push on the publisher to shut it down. Maybe all their music choices for the week with be one and done bands - just like the Trumpster himself.

[matt819]

6. Has beens from the 1980s wasn't good enough?

Now they're going for music from the 70s? Truly bizarre.

[maxrandb]

7. One of the best guitar solos of all time though

[matt819]

9. Hey, I'm not saying I don't like the song

I just think it's a riot that there damn near 40 years have passed, so you would think they could find more recent, non C&W, music they could use. Are there any RW rock musicians?

[maxrandb]

8. I thought for sure it would be

Drowning Pool's "Let the Bodies Hit the Floor"

[bravenak]

21. It should be

But I like that song so I don't want them to ruin it for me

[nolabear]

10. Now "Stay With Me" as they prepare for rollcall.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

11. You must have a high pain threshold

[fun n serious]

12. They are now playing

" You shook me all night long" ACDC.

[blue neen]

16. That's what they were playing when I turned on this circus. I mean, do they have any idea?

This whole debacle is absolutely crazy!

[DemonGoddess]

20. heh, betcha they get sued for that
