Dead Man's Party...

My friend Ron is the second biggest Oingo Boingo fan I know, but he does not care for their cult favorite Dead Man's Party. As much as he dislikes this song, I dislike Hillary Clinton even more. Fact is, I've never met her. I've written her quite a bit, and I always get a form message telling me that since I don't live in her district, I can't communicate with her. That makes me like her even less. Sort of like how much I like bologna sandwiches.

Back to the lecture at hand. The opening salvo of Dean Man's Party features Danny Elfman saying, "Yea, yea, let him in." It's almost like Danny's a busy guy and besides, at this party, we take everyone, even Hillary - and even Danny confuses her for a man. But then again, maybe he is hopeful since at a glance he recognizes her Dead Man first.

And then there is a killer intro and the song begins "All dressed up with nowhere to go, walkin' with a dead man over my shoulder."

I've heard this line a thousand times. And at 1001, it occured to me, Danny is talking to/about Hillary Clinton. This is Hillary's new campaing song, officially. The Dead Man is Bill. The party is obviously the Democrats. The refrain about not running away is her begging the uber left to stay with her. Everybody's coming leave your body at the door - represents all the "dead" issues, the intellectually dead, the morally dead and the actual spiritually dead bodies piled high at the front door of the party. And as I mentioned before, everybody's coming and all are invited regardless of baggage, persuasion, morals, etc.

I bet if I told Ron that I have declared Dead Man's Party Hillary's official campaign song he would start to like it...a lot. Do you have any other campaign song ideas? Email me at jarretsharp@gmail.com. Love to hear from you.
