The UN's musical tribute to Bush?
This might be a stretch, but aren't the lyrics an apt intro to a Bush speech?

UNITED NATIONS -- It was one of the many odd touches on the first day of this year's U.N. General Assembly: The world's premier gathering of diplomatic stars began with a plinking synthesizer version of "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star."


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twinkle_Twinkle_Little_Star

Ah ! vous dirais-je, Maman,
Ce qui cause mon tourment
Papa veut que je raisonne,
Comme une grande personne.
Moi je dis que les bonbons
Valent mieux que la raison

(Ah! I would tell you, Mom
what causes my torment.
Papa wants me to reason
Like an adult.
Me, I say that candy
Is worth more than reason.)

1. funny story sorta related . . .
many years ago, when I was a kid, Queen Elizabeth was making an official visit to the U.S., which at the time was a pretty big deal . . . lots of tv coverage, including a formal ball at the White House . . . so what number does the band play as the Queen arrives? . . . "The Lady is a Tramp" . . . I kid you not . . . :)
