"I might put some gospel beats into 'Hail to the Chief,' OK?" Cain explained.


Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain said Sunday that if elected, he would "change the mood" of "Hail to the Chief" by adding a gospel vibe.

"It's traditional and that's all well and good, but I happen to believe there comes a time when you need to change the mood of it just a little bit, not drastically," Cain told Fox News' Chris Wallace. "It's kind of like in marketing. Periodically, companies that have been successful at branding might modify their logos just a little bit to give it a fresher look. I think 'Hail to the Chief' needs a little bit fresher sound."

"Hip hop?" Wallace asked.

"I might put some gospel beats into 'Hail to the Chief,' OK?" Cain explained.

1. The racists in the Republican Party would shit out their internal organs.
Maybe Cain's idea is not so bad. :evilgrin:

3. No worse than today's butchering of the Star Spangled Banner.
Perforamnces keep getting worse: scooping up to notes, elaborate cadences at the end of phrases, and that out-of-nowhere passing-tone notes on "ba -ah -ner-er yet wave" (c-d-eflat-d-c-Bflat). People will soon begin to hate that song (some have already). It's fine as an instrumental but horrible as a vocal.

2. Oh that's gonna piss off the TeaBaggers big time
You know how they are about their 'values'. The racism will be hurling out of their mouths as soon as this gets around.
