Poll question: Proposed Kerry campaign song: Crystal Blue Persuasion

Crystal Blue Persuasion
(Tommy James, Ed Gray, and Mike Vale)

Look over yonder, what do you see
The sun is a-risin', most definitely
A new day is comin', people are changin'
Ain't it beautiful, crystal blue persuasion

Better get ready, gonna see the light
Love, love is the answer, and that's all right
So don't you give up, now so easy to find
Just look to your soul and open your mind

Crystal blue persuasion, mm-hmm
It's a new vibration
Crystal blue persuasion, crystal
Blue persuasion

Maybe tomorrow, when He looks down
Every green field, and every town
All of his children, every nation
There'll be peace and good, brotherhood

Crystal blue persuasion
Crystal blue persuasion.....

4. I don't think so either

Probably shouldn't have anything from the 60's era, unfortunately. But if it were my choice...

Little darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter
Little darling, it feels like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
and I say it's all right

Little darling, the smiles returning to the faces
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
and I say it's all right

Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...

Little darling, I feel that ice is slowly melting
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been clear
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun,
and I say it's all right
It's all right

6. Not that I'd not want to stick with Bruce and U2 (two of my all-time

favorites!).
But I've been saying Here Comes the Sun would be great, too!

5. I'm CRUSHED!

:cry:

8. The problem with the original version

is that it's rather slow. Typically, campaign songs have a faster tempo. If there's a faster-paced version of it, it might work great on the campaign trail. I like the song, but the tempo keeps it from becoming a campaign song, IMO.

7. Sucks as a campaign song, but.....

anything's better than Sammy fucking Hagar!
