I Want Condi!

Dean

I know a girl who's tough but sweet
She's so fine, she can't be beat
She's got everything that I desire
Sets the summer sun on fire

I want Condi, I want Condi

Vote for her when the sun goes down
Ain't no finer girl in town
You're my girl, just what the doctor ordered
So sweet, you make my mouth water

I want Condi, I want Condi

Condi on the beach, there's nothing better
But I like Condi when she's wrapped in a sweater
Some day soon I'll make you mine,
Then I'll have Condi all the time

I want Condi, I want Condi
I want Condi, I want Condi...

(Lyrics by Tall Dave. Music by Bow Wow Wow.)

Here's an article about earworms.
Unfortunately there isn't any known cure.

Cure...

I wonder if The Cure could cure Earworms...

Ah
We move like cagey tigers
We couldn't get closer than this
The way we walk
The way we talk
The way we stalk
The way we kiss
We slip through the streets
While everyone sleeps
Getting bigger and sleeker
And wider and brighter
We bite and scratch and scream all night
Let's go and throw
All the songs we know...

Into the sea
You and me
All these years and no one heard
I'll show you in spring
It's a treacherous thing
We missed you hissed the lovecats

We're so wonderfully wonderfully wonderfully
Wonderfully pretty!
Oh you know that I'd do anything for you...
We should have each other to tea huh?
We should have each other with cream
Then curl up by the fire
And sleep for awhile
It's the grooviest thing
It's the perfect dream

Into the sea
You and me
All these years and no one heard
I'll show you in spring
It's a treacherous thing
We missed you hissed the lovecats

We're so wonderfully wonderfully wonderfully
Wonderfully pretty!
Oh you know that I'd do anything for you...
We should have each other to dinner huh?
We should have each other with cream
Then curl up in the fire
Get up for awhile
It's the grooviest thing
It's the perfect dream

Hand in hand
Is the only way to land
And always the right way round
Not broken in pieces
Like hated little meeces...
How could we miss
Someone as dumb as this?

I love you... let's go...
Oh... solid gone...
How could we miss
Someone as dumb as this?

You already know what I think of this drivel, which sort of reminds of the same that was mounted on behalf of John McCain, Rudolph Giuliani, Patrick Buchanan and Colin Powell. Fizzlers into nothingness, every one of them.

But I won't be a spoilsport and interrupt your mass revelries over Condi with an extended diatribe.

Nobody gets appointed to the United States presidency. And so far, all Condoleeza Rice has achieved are executive appointments.

I take everyone seriously, and assume they mean what they say. Don't you?

(At least until they begin growling at the TV cameras like some sort of mad dog, as did the former governor of Vermont when he learned that he had indeed lost the election that he somehow imagined was going to help propel him into the White House and not the mad house.)

Actually, I have all kinds of fun that you and the rest of the world couldn't begin to imagine. Especially after she makes me a nice low-cal mackerel and green salad for lunch. Or re-assures me that I'm brighter than I know myself to be. Or smiles at me brightly and says: "Looks like you are back to losing weight again."

Besides. How do you know for sure I'm just not having fun with the rest of you folks in some sly way?

But there is very recent precedent for a move from one of the top intelligence posts to VP: George W Bush was director of the CIA iirc, and also later went on to be President.

Wow. Can you imagine 16 years of Vice-President and then President Condi? That would really be something.

I think the natural ticket, if the GOP hasn't gone blind drunk with power and forgotten that it does have to win the election, is Giuiliani/Rice. Rudy's the hero of 9/11, Condi is... well, Condi. He brings campaign experience, she brings heavyweight foreign policy gravitas. He's already a centrist and doesn't have to do the Kerry/Clinton shuffle-to-the-middle that leaves a bad taste in voters' mouths, she's the 2nd Amendment absolutist.

Dean Esmay:

Rudy is currently one of the frontrunners according to the polls. I'm a little surprised that Arnold doesn't take him seriously as a candidate.

I actually agree that Rice is a long-shot having not ever run for elected office. But as VP she would be very credible.

Hey Joe: It's obviously a Bo Diddley riff, but did he actually write the song?

Dean, have you heard "Hey Bo Diddly"? It's the same song. Bow Wow Wow just wrote new lyrics for it, and added the little guitar line at the beginning. But the melody line is the same.

Condi would make a good Veep candidate. McCain does fabulously well in matchups with Dems. If GOP wanted to win an earth-shattering victory that would make it the majority party for a generation or so McCain/Rice is the way to go. It would make liberals weep wail and nash their teeth b/c they like African Americans best as victims and protestors rather than free-thinking equal citizens.

Dean Esmay:

Joe: As I said, it's obviously what is known as a "Bo Diddley riff" by musicians, but I'll hold off on saying he wrote the song. Diddley essentially has two riffs that he built a career on, particularly that 7-note "BOMP buh-bump-a-bump, BOMP BOMP!" one that the Bow Wow Wow song is based on. However, if you know that riff well enough, you also know it's just a rumba beat that was also popular with hambone players when Diddley was a kid. Buddy Holly used it in "Not Fade Away," for example--did Bo Diddley write that? New Orleans songwriter James Crawford published the song "Jock-a-mo" (also known as "Iko Iko") in 1950 using the same riff, too--and Bo Diddley's first record didn't come out until 1955.

I'm not dissing Bo--I've actually seen him live--but if we're going to say he wrote every song that uses a 7-beat Bo Diddley riff, we're going to be listing him as author of hundreds
of songs he may never even have heard...

The first time I heard "I Want Candy," it was the Bow Wow Wow version, but that was just a cover. It was originally recorded by . . . wait for it . . . The Strangeloves.

I'm a real hardline Republican, and I've written publically that I'd vote for Hillary or Bredesen before voting for McCain.

Hillary would:
1. Be an honest enemy instead of an internal poison like McCain the Diva.
2. Actually be tougher on terrorists I think. I think she and W share at least one quality...both are mean and vicious to potential enemies. Hillary would extend that to Americans, but Americans are tough, we could deal.

One SF writer, in a rather B grade at best book, had Hillary listed as the harshest, most uncompromising on terror American President.

3. It might get much of the Democratic Party to stop being partisan blinded idiots about the GWOT. The media might all of a sudden start broadcasting the truth about Iraq.

As for Condi, yeah, I could deal with her as Pres. or as VP. It would be great fun, and I bet after W's stumbling accuracies, the other side would really hate getting precisely, and with great verbal skill getting sliced to ribbons by Condi. It would be like the professor agreeing with the redneck. Since she's a bit soft on abortion, I think we ought to balance the ticket by having someone more correct on that issue which rules out Guilliani, or McCain anyways.

Basically, if you want Rudy, you can't have Condi. The socons are a flexible and amiable bunch, but not that much. We'd make a deal, for sure, but we gotta get something.

SMA, a man's got to know his limitations, as Dirty Harry said, and I know mine. There are times when my substance is lacking. So I have no option but to make it up in style, or just shut my mouth.

But thanks for the compliment.

I've always wondered why as a Democrat, I secretly taken pleasure in keeping blacks in the victim status - now I know why? If only I had subscribed to the Limbaugh letter like yourself, I'd have known all along.

Well, this open minded liberal thinks that you have absolutely NO FUCKING CLUE about the socio-economic idealogy the majority of us on the left have. I can't believe you'd make such an ignorant statement like that and try and pass it off as intelligent political commentary. Didn't they teach critical thinking at your university?

JoetheFarmer (mail):

Dean, just listen to the song. The melody line is exactly the same. I'm not just talking about the beat. The line "I know a guy who's tough but sweet" is exactly the same melody as "Bo Diddly, Bo Diddly have you heard?", and "I want candy" is exactly the same line as "Hey Bo Diddly." I'm not kidding, it's the same song.

Tim:
I've got a clue alright--look at the viciousness with which liberals treat Rice, Thomas and other blacks who don't back their worldview. Where's your critical thinking degree from Tim? Did Democrats have an African American Secretary of State or National Security Adviser--Nope. Blacks are ensconced for Democrats in domestic Negro affairs departments. At election time they go to black churches with Revs. Jesse and Al in tow, waive the bloody shirt of civil rights, repeat victimhood narratives about stolen votes in Ohio and Florida and spout nonsense that 25% of black males in New York are unemployed--doesn't this sound like John Kerry.

Timothy Snyder:

Oh, so ALL liberals are the same are we? Hmmm, that would be like me saying that all Conservatives are like Santorum, and I know you don't want to be lumped in with him anymore that I want to be lumped in with Maxine Waters. Please, don't insult this blog with your Rush Limbaugh rhetoric. Did you just cut and paste from his website or what?

Funding education initiatives and supporting affirmative action is much more effective for the black community than appointing one or two people to high (and highly visible) positions in the adminstration. If affirmative action is so terrible, why do Colin Powell and C. Rice support it so strongly? Condi takes a hit because she's a "yes-man" to Bush. Powell was villified by conservatives because he wasn't. What the fuck do you people want!?!
