While we're on songs, does anyone know the history behind Rush L. playing The Pretender's song during every show. It's a song about people cluttering and polluting Ohio and yet it appears to be one of his favorites. Granted he doesn't ever play the lyrics...

I was going to suggest Randy Newman's "It's Money That Matters", but Mitt's got that one...

We could always suggest "The World's Greatest"--he'd believe it about himself. Just don't tell him it's a song by R Kelly with ALMOST NO WHITE PEOPLE in the video!

My list. Money for Nothing ( His tax plan for himself and friends) Industrial Disease(what we'll have after he guts the EPA)- Dire Straits. And now from my fav band, a quartet from Britain famous for building walls. Echos(for the echo chamber he lives in), Run Like hell(if he becomes President) Dogs( you need to read the lyrics), Pigs (same reason), Young Lust(for past and any future wives)/ The Thin Ice(what we are all skating on), Good Bye Blue Sky(if he's elected), Brain Damage(what he has) / Money ( his motives)/ and of course, The Trial(my dream for his future)

When all else fails, there's "Ghostbusters", since Newt looks like the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man.
