A good idea? If not, what should it have been?

"Springtime for Hitler"?

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Monday, 6 October 2003 17:28 (twenty-one years ago)

"She's On It" - Beastie Boys

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 6 October 2003 17:30 (twenty-one years ago)

Someone's campaign song should be "Working Men Are Pissed" - by the Minutemen.

Arnold's should be "Group Grope".

"California Uber Alles" would have been a classy pick.

― Charlie Rose (Charlie Rose), Monday, 6 October 2003 17:47 (twenty-one years ago)

If not, what should it have been?

"I Think We Should Make a Carla Sandwich" -- The Gropinators

In honor of Carla xxxxxx, who recited Arnold's lines when he tried to fondle her to the Los Angeles Times.

G'n'R's "You Could Be Mine"...oh wait, he already used that one.

Not in Kow-ee-fonia. The people rallying for Arnold and to throw
Davis out of office don't have it bad at all. Taxes are not
too high, certainly not the highest in the union. And property
taxes are ridiculously low and have always been so.

The aerospace and defense industries are doing well, particularly
around San Diego, Los Angeles and Vandenberg, thanks to the
forever war.

I see people driving ridiculously sized SUVs and many Hummvees
in Pasadena everyday -- where gasoline was $2.25 for most of
the summer. And no one bitched, no one's driving privileges were
cut into.

So the people making all the noise about things being shitty?
Well, they aren't.

The budget crisis is an unfolding calamity. But the people who
are complaining the loudest don't send their kids to public
school and don't depend on anything, really, that the state
provides -- so they have no interest in fixing it. Plus, Arnold's never going to be able to solve the crisis alone.

"Dumb" by Nirvana or hell, why not "Bad Reputation" by Joan Jett?

― Jeanne Fury (Jeanne Fury), Monday, 6 October 2003 18:04 (twenty-one years ago)

40 Thievez - No Pigeons

"Bitches Ain't Shit" - Dr. Dre

Right. Knew it. I mean in general .. Dennis Kucinich, for example.

― dave225 (Dave225), Monday, 6 October 2003 18:09 (twenty-one years ago)

I heard this over the broadcast of him arriving at some speaking engagement, and couldn't believe my ears. I don't know, I mean even if you agree with the lyrical sentiment, can you take a candidate seriously with this music as backdrop? I mean, I like the song and all, but he's running for governor of California, for crissake...

― Sean (Sean), Monday, 6 October 2003 21:57 (twenty-one years ago)

but he's running for governor of California, for crissake...

Exactly, and I live in California. What, exactly, should we not
be taking? Who has been giving Californians undeserved guff,
reducing them to penury, making it like living in Afghanistan or
Iraq?

No one. The sun is always shining. The property values are going through the roof. The public schools are horrible but no one cares because the only people who go to them are the underclasses.

It never rains on the Rose Bowl. Hummvees and SUVs sell fastest and mostest in California.

What's the trouble?

It's not even a place where rockers and other musicians can say they are much inspired to write protest music. They should try living in
Allentown, Pennsylvania, or someplace -- not a university town -- in
Ohio for a couple decades.

I mean, hey what are Scott Weiland and Slash gonna write about?
Set me free? Free from what? Freedom from the halfway house for
rich drunks and addicts in Pasadena?

What's Metallica writing about? All the agony of being a rich drunk,
drying out and getting family oriented? Of being picked on by
journalists and netizens who didn't like their opinions on Napster?

Boy, sure lots to complain of in Kow-ee-fonia.

― George Smith, Monday, 6 October 2003 22:59 (twenty-one years ago)

I live in California too, and while I agree it is a nice place to live I do think that there may be a couple things to complain about. But I would.

― Sean (Sean), Tuesday, 7 October 2003 06:18 (twenty-one years ago)

George, I don't like Arnold either, but making fun of his German accent getting in the way of his ability to pronounce the name of the state seems kind of petty.

― Dave M. (rotten03), Tuesday, 7 October 2003 06:41 (twenty-one years ago)

Arnold is Austrian.

― Damian (Damian), Tuesday, 7 October 2003 08:07 (twenty-one years ago)

Bustamonte's campaign should be "Bust a Move" by the way. I don't know why it isn't.

― dave225 (Dave225), Tuesday, 7 October 2003 10:32 (twenty-one years ago)

Bustamonte's campaign should be "Bust a Move" by the way. I don't know why it isn't.

So, So, So, So true.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Tuesday, 7 October 2003 12:57 (twenty-one years ago)

For some reason, I found myself humming Cruz Bustamonte's name will running this morning. It's very musical.

― Salmon Pink (Salmon Pink), Tuesday, 7 October 2003 13:38 (twenty-one years ago)

how do you hum his name? hmm hmm hmm HMM hmm.

― dave225 (Dave225), Tuesday, 7 October 2003 14:23 (twenty-one years ago)

The idea that Arnold will be governor of CA is mind-numbing. It would only be appropriate that as a campaign theme song, it should be some bubblegum fluff song. Obviously that is all that the voters of CA have between their ears.

― Davlo (Davlo), Tuesday, 7 October 2003 18:19 (twenty-one years ago)

"We're Not Gonna Take It" is a great song

"We're Not Gonna Take It" is a great song

Who said it wasn't? I just think it's a strange choice for Arnold's capaign song.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Tuesday, 7 October 2003 18:37 (twenty-one years ago)

Now all we need is Mark "Neidermeyer" Metcalf to come back and play Gray Davis in the campaign video.

"A YES-ON-RECALL PIN???? ON YOUR UNI-FOOOORRRRMMM??"

― donut bitch (donut), Tuesday, 7 October 2003 18:41 (twenty-one years ago)

I liked it better when it was the theme song for VH1's PMRC movie.

― Geir Hongro (GeirHong), Tuesday, 7 October 2003 20:30 (twenty-one years ago)

Well.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 8 October 2003 04:15 (twenty-one years ago)

this is your daddy and this is what he does

"don't worry about the government"

― A Nairn (moretap), Wednesday, 8 October 2003 04:27 (twenty-one years ago)

Or better yet a Terminator
Like Arnold Schwarzenegger

― My name is Kenny (My name is Kenny), Wednesday, 8 October 2003 04:34 (twenty-one years ago)

"We're Not Gonna Take It" is a great song

Overheard onstage at Schwarzenegger rally over weekend:

Der Gropenfuhrer: Why aren't you vearing the vimmen's clothes?

Dee: Dummy, you wouldn't have invited us.
