I think this is the first thing I've ever seen that makes me like Hillary Clinton.
-
Wow
That's actually...funny!

The real question...
What song SHOULD they have nominated that ISN'T on this list.
Cause, I mean, come on, this list sucks. Other than the obvious winner "Beautiful Day", the rest of these songs really don't have a lot going for them.
Browsing my music collection, I was immediately struck by a couple ideas...not all of them serious.
"For Goodness Sakes, Look at those Cakes (Part 1)" - James Brown
"She's the One" - Bruce Springsteen
"Short People (got no reason to live)" - Randy Newman
"She's like the wind" - Patrick Swayze (Awesome!)
"She's my man" - The Scissor Sisters (sorry, but how could I help it)
"Every Little Thing She does is Magic" - Police
"Sister's are Doing it for Themselves" - Aretha Franklin and Annie Lennox
"Everyday People" - Sly and the Family Stone
and my personal favorite
"Is she Really Going out with Him" - Joe Jackson
-
Brilliant!
I have to say that it's refreshing to see Hillary in this light. She shows that she has a sense of humor and her wry smile during the video indicates a lighthearted sensibility about poking a small bit of fun at herself. Go Hill!
-
Wonderful!
I've always read that she has a wry sense of humor. And this proves it.

AP wire today Clinton Commits to Iraq Deadline
Since AP wires shown on Salon cannot be commented on I'm putting this here. What the heck is AP doing writing such a slanted, partisan-sounding "news" as the item labelled "Clinton Commits to Iraq Deadline"? The item tries to paint her as waffling. Yet all it sounds like she did is vote yes that a bill should come up for debate and tell reporters that she didn't plan to give a preview of how she would vote on a bill in advance. Then later, perhaps once it seemed reporters were going to make a stink about her daring not to answer them, indicating she supported the bill.
It is sad that our once respected press now wishes to leave no room for the complexities and subtleties of the political process, no patience for a lawmaker who indicates she wants to listen to other points of view about a bill before making a final decision on her vote, and what seems like a failure to even understand that today's laws are highly complex documents that are anything but as simple as "bring the troops home" or "cut funding". No wonder the press has seemed to favor the simple and bullheaded Bush for so long -- it is harder for them to get confused by his views because they have no little or no thought behind them and never change.

Ha!
She's more dangerous than I thought. lol
-
Unorginal
She still comes off as pandering and unfunny. The first humorous ad which I have seen is from Bill Richardson.

Foo Fighters - "Next Year"
I know it's the "Ed" song, but still...
Im in the sky tonight
There I can keep by your side
Watching the wide world riot
And hiding out
I'll be coming home next year

What A Joke
This is the same as everything that Mrs. Clinton does. PHONY, PHONY, PHONY.

Pretenders (or Annie Lennox) “Thin Line Between Love & Hate”
Barry Mcguire: “Eve Of Destruction”
Don Henley: “The End Of The Innocence”
U2: “Still Haven’t Found What I’m Lookin’ For”
----------------------
Also-Rans:

Bad Company: “Runnin' With The Pack”
Blind Faith: “Can't Find My Way Home”
Bob Marley & Wailers: “One Love, One Heart”; “Get Up, Stand Up”

Something by GG Allin would be nice
If I had to choose a song for Hillary - I would go for one of the classics from the GG Allin songbook. Maybe "Die when you die", "Commit Suicide" or "Suck My Ass It Smells" - just call me an old romantic
-
advice from an amateur
That was surprisingly funny! The only flub was the ending -- she should have replaced "unless" with "until" I win.
-
I'm a Believer
Was NOT written by "Smash Mouth", whoever they are.
Neil Diamond wrote that song in his Brill Building days. The Monkees had the first hit with it.
-
ha ha
She's actually kinda funny, although her delivery isn't all that sharp. Good idea though.
