Killing Me Loudly – Roll Call

Killing Me Loudly

It’s a story as old as time itself: the campaign ditty that tugs at the heartstrings and propels that particular candidate into higher office (and beyond).

This post is nothing like that.

Instead, feast your eyes/ears on perhaps the two most misguided and totally inane political jingles EVER.

And the pain is widespread. From the disharmonious singing to the sickeningly guttural bridge to the fact that images in their anti-Romney collage begin to repeat about two-thirds of the way through this effort mars both sides of the audio/video coin.
