Now that Orange-a-Lardo (aka Don the Con, aka Two Toned Donny) has been given a get out of jail and proceed directly to the White House card, I believe we need a new song to welcome the Commander-in-Thief whenever ever he walks into the room. Hail to the Thief is an obvious choice but Im not aware of a good recording of this sentiment, yet. So, I submit two sections of songs for your approval. Please listen and vote:
Joe Cocker singing the Randy Newman song, Guilty
Listen at 1:20- 1:49
Guilty, Im guilty.
And Ill be guilty for the rest of my life.
How come I never do what Im supposed to do
Simon and Garfunkle, The Boxer
Listen 3:18-4:43

Lyrics
Don't wanna be an American idiot
Don't want a nation under the new media
And can you hear the sound of hysteria?
The subliminal mindfuck America
Welcome to a new kind of tension
All across the alien nation
Where everything isn't meant to be okay
In television dreams of tomorrow
We're not the ones who're meant to follow
For that's enough to argue
Well, maybe I'm the faggot, America
I'm not a part of a redneck agenda
Now everybody, do the propaganda
And sing along to the age of paranoia
Welcome to a new kind of tension
All across the alien nation
Where everything isn't meant to be okay
In television dreams of tomorrow
We're not the ones who're meant to follow
For that's enough to argue
Don't wanna be an American idiot
One nation controlled by the media
Information age of hysteria
It's calling out to idiot America
Welcome to a new kind of tension
All across the alien nation
Where everything isn't meant to be okay
In television dreams of tomorrow
We're not the ones who're meant to follow
For that's enough to argue
