I think only Klobuchar picked someone local. Definitely the hippest choice.
What does America need? We need to love our country and to love each other enough to make some bold and necessary changes. We need to face some things that are difficult to face, and rise from the ashes of denial and despair to do something about them
Two Clash songs. I guess Trump will have to go with White Riot.
3: And De Blasio endorses "drinking brew for breakfast".
Bold move! Separates him from the pack.
Walkout music in fact means entry music?
De Blasio is literally the last person in the world who should be playing "Rudy Can't Fail."
5: Yes. For when you walk out onto the stage, not performing a walkout on a job. Let's table this discussion.
5: Yes - walk out on stage, not walk out of the arena.
I would rock Janáček, Sinfonietta. Pompous as fuck, but if you're running for president you're literally applying to have your own personal brass band, so.
6: I had that same thought but couldn't make it pithy.
6: His strategy is to hope people confuse him with "America's Mayor", because that guy is so darn popular.
Why isn't Biden on the list? Both because I don't get it and because I bet his song would have been funny.
I assume it's because he skipped the event.
Song for walking out: O Fortuna
Song for when I'm done: Walking on Sunshine
I'm trying to set a record for most times pwned in a thread.
You could walk out to the same song as the person immediately before you.
Song for walking out: Pink Flag (the whole album)
Song for when I'm done: Chairs Missing (ditto)
Biden would have gone with We Didn't Start the Fire.
Chillicothe.
Have we seen this? Universal Music just like let the WHOLE ARCHIVE OF MASTER TAPES going back to the 1940s go up in flames back in 2008 and never let on:
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/11/magazine/universal-fire-master-recordings.html
Song for when I'm done: Chairs Missing (ditto)
This is for Clint Eastwood, when he lectures the empty chair about being a bad American for an hour.
Biden:
Ebony and Ivory
Centerfield ('put me in coach")
Tube Steak Boogie
I keep trying to think of the worst walkout music, instead. Pink Panther theme? 12 Days of Christmas? a donkey braying?
31: The Wreck of the Edmund fitzgerald
32: (Recycling an actually funny joke into an unfunny one: Heard it originally as "what is the worst song to strip to?")
Or Biden could hearken back to his Scranton/Wilkes-Barre roots with "Timothy." He even gets name checked.
Timothy, Timothy, Joe was looking at you
Timothy, Timothy, God what did we do?
31: There was a good candidate for this in one of Al Franken's books - I think it was Michael Dukakis, election night 1988, the song was "Coming to America", but they didn't cue it up to the right spot, so he had to walk through a long croony intro that sucked the energy out of the room.
Looks like Joe Biden released a "summer playlist" in 2016.
"My Way", maybe?
32: Arguably a good song for Trump to use when he inevitably decides he's mad at Canada.
I keep trying to think of the worst walkout music
Tom Waits -- "Step Right Up"
Nick Cave -- "The Carney"
Bjork (Sugarcube) -- "Birthday"
I keep trying to think of the worst walkout music
The Who -- "Fiddle About"
The Who -- "Fiddle About"
or "Mary Anne with the Shaky Hand"
I enjoyed this take on the song choices.
Tim Ryan: "Old Town Road" by Lil Nas X
LOL, Tim, really? This song is good and I love hearing it 14 times every weekend in various bars, clubs, rideshares, and SoulCycle classes. However, I have doubts about any candidate's ability to make this work as a walk-out song unless said candidate is riding out on a horse. And even in that case, the song becomes the horse's walk-out music. I don't know, hon. Rating: 6 out of 10
Andrew Yang: "Return of the Mack" by Mark Morrison
Oh my God, someone's grad school party playlist just came on and these Iowans are not ready! The song lyrics repeatedly contends, "You lied to me," which is an odd choice here. But I don't mind. Andrew Yang is out here telling us that he is the Mack and he is returning --from where? and when?--and I have to respect the swagger. Rating: 8 out of 10
...
28 I've been reading that. Just awful.
33: "Thank Heaven for Little Girls"
Might have actually been used as walk out music at one time, but now would not fly -- "I Believe I Can Fly".
Thinking about songs which might actually work -- a song which lists a lot of place names, "American Ride" would be thematically appropriate for a walkout song, but probably not the right sort of energy.
"My Shot" from Hamilton. How did they all miss that?
46: "The Heart of Rock and Roll" -- might have been a good choice for Biden.
I keep trying to think of the worst walkout music, instead. Pink Panther theme? 12 Days of Christmas? a donkey braying?
Suicide, "Frankie Teardrop"
Biden's best choice would be the Rocky theme. The crowd would go wild when he came out punching.
Just figured out what would have been the absolute worst choice - even worse than Schoenberg, the Dead Kennedys, NWA, Sir Mix-a-Lot, the Chipmunks, etc
Fight Song by Rachel Platten.
I think Bon Jovi's "It's My Life" would actually work really well for him, to make clear he's young at heart and concerned about the working class.
The Chipmunks is cracking me up. I like the idea of these super-undignified songs that they have to pretend work really well. Maybe Happy Birthday.
Ernest Crofts managed to paint a picture of Waterloo with Mr. Bean commanding the French.
An awful lot of people can paint something that I can't tell wasn't painted by Monet even when it's in the same room as a painting by Monet.
It takes a while to see the genitals in Picasso's Embrace, but once you do, it's all you can see.
The Chipmunks is cracking me up. I like the idea of these super-undignified songs that they have to pretend work really well. Maybe Happy Birthday.
"Coco Jamboo"
"Mr. Saxobeat"
"Barbie Girl"
Crazy Frog
"They're Coming To Take Me Away, Ha-Haaa"
It's probably an honor for Warhol that his cows are in the same room as Picasso's vulva.
56: The National Gallery in DC has rooms and rooms of paintings by Impressionists and I most can't tell one painter from another.
Don McLean's "Vincent" would be a fine choice for a song.
Degas was a careerist pedophile who painted decorations for the houses of the rich or flattering portraits of them; Monet was a methodical visionary who gradually lost his sight, date of the work matters; Toulouse Lautrec was pretty much always great. I think that a lot of his critical work was painted in a hurry, a bunch of it is on cardboard. He was an innovative and skilled lithographer as well, if there's a chance to see his prints, lots of which were commercial, go.
I'm now looking at Dutch people's paintings of what they were about to eat before they prepared it.
Nah, I think it's important to assert that Rudy Giuliani cannot morally or practically stop you from walking out to "Rudy Can't Fail." I applaud Di Blasio. Has anyone ranked all the tracks on "London Calling" from best to worst for this purpose (walkouts, that is, not owning Giuliani)?
Also, how different is the gender ratio of artists from that of the candidates? Did anyone cross genders for the song pick?
Did anyone cross genders for the song pick?
What a great question!
I believe the only one that did is Marianne Williamson. Doing her part to end the war between the sexes!
Williamson did. I don't know if she's a RHCP higher ground or Stevie Wonder higher ground, though.
63: Well, surely if we go excluding people on the basis of "careerist," "decorations for the houses of the rich," or "flattering portraits," the global art canon more or less implodes. ("Pedophile" I think is one of those like "racist," where everyone has their own reckoning to make with art and artist.)
I didn't particularly think much of Degas until my last trip to LA, where the extensive holdings at the Getty and Norton Simon left me pretty thunderstruck by what he does with color, and I think better understanding his version of realism. "The Milliners" is just a tremendous picture of people at work.
Williamson did. I don't know if she's a RHCP higher ground or Stevie Wonder higher ground, though.
Maybe she used Ellen McIlwaine's version!
31: The End by the Doors is a contender.
What about the graduation processional song? Or Here Comes the Bride?
Or Here Comes the Bride by the Spin Doctors?
The James Bond theme. I'd be interested to see which candidates could pull it off.
"Here Comes a Regular" by the Replacements would be a downbeat but appropriate choice for Biden.
For Biden: Violent Femmes, "Blister in the Sun"
And he can go out with Hasil Adkins "She Said"
69.1: Is that one or two dimensions.
46. Delaney did that with the Cash song. Dancing in the Streets would be good too, though maybe too big city focused.
Biden should go with "Black Steel in the Hour of Chaos".
Warren comes across as too wonkish, so she should have gone with Sia's "Chandelier".
69 that is a nice one. Unusual for him in depicting the face of a particular woman, he usually depicts bodies but not personality of women, and sympathetic detail in portraits of (usually) men.
74. I have in fact considered having the Skatalites version of the James Bond theme as a personal audio flourish to play from my telephone whenever I enter a meeting, elevator, or subway car.
Sharon Jones's great "This land is your land" would be a good choice for anyone.
54: OK. The Chipmunks doing "Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald."
A friend once proposed a curse where "Eye of the Tiger" would start playing whenever the cursee got up to use the bathroom.
Anyway, I want to see Donald Jr. walk out to "Baby Shark."
So many candidates. Why are there so many candidates?
Because the Clintons are gone.
Service people in Quebec respond to my selections with "Perfect" or "No worries." It's starting to feel like they're afraid I'll get mad at them.
As I approach middle age I'm starting to think maybe I'll never achieve my lifelong dream of playing shortstop for the Baltimore Orioles, but, if I ever somehow do make it, the plan is for the walk out music for my at bats to be the Imperial March.
This is the background song to a slide show of your favorite moments from high school, and you're surrounded by your fellow high school students who are feeling really emotional and sad.
No, that was Green Day's "Time of Your Life" and Boyz II Men's "End of the Road."

I'm not planning to go with Sen Bennet, but if he was invoking this, well, it's was an amazing experience to be there, and I'd be willing to go to DC in January 2021, if we get to do something like this.
I skipped this one, but did see some of the other entertainments. (Ntably the Staple Singers with I'll Take You There.) Weren't we all so young!
31 The worst ending music would be Yakety Sax
39:
How is it that these songs (Tom Waits -- "Step Right Up", Nick Cave -- "The Carney") would indeed be the worst walkout music, yet each so fitting for Trump? "Step Right Up" could be his theme song.

93: Good Life is like those, but also trying to sell you a new SUV for your exciting college future.
"Everybody Knows" would be a good campaign song.

the House Select Committee on Committees, maintained that the House had become too permissive in granting committees subpoena power. "What has happened in the present situation," he argued in a 1974 hearing, "is that it becomes a matter of rivalry and prestige. If one committee has got it, the other committee wants it, too."|>

committee chairs will require the approval of the Bipartisan Legal Advisory Group (BLAG)|>
Yeah, 100 would make me seriously consider voting for an evil Democrat, in the hopes of having it replace Hail to the Chief. Same for Laurie Anderson's "From the Air."
Yesterday I saw a building-sized portrait of a Leonard Cohen, so it was on my mind.
All the male buskers in Quebec City have his hat.
I have now had the cheese plates at both the OnRoute service plaza outside Kingston, Ontario and at the Château Frontenac.
I'm tickled by the hypothetical worst walkout song prompt at The Other Place. So many hilarious possibilities! Enjoying the idea of some white pol walking out to Get Ur Freak On. Or someone using Ludacris' Area Codes. Loser, by Beck?
The temptation is just to come up with a list of great tracks, where the title or lyrics undercuts the politicians.

In a confusing development, Rory Stewart MP (walkon tune: "Eton Rifles", The Clash) has vowed that if Boris Johnson MP (walkon tune: "Master of the House", Claude Schoenberg) dissolves Parliament against its will, Stewart will walk across the road and set up his own Parliament in the Methodist Central Hall. History fans should note that the last time something like this happened the Stewart was on the other side.
