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.

But inserting POTUS’ name into your hook, stringing together a synth-pop baseline and surrounding oneself with the non-dancingest group of rejects from Benetton’s fall catalog a Katy Perry does not make.</p> <p>Exhibit B: “Mitt Romney Wants Me to Die” by Carbonic Smog</p> <p> <iframe src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/51090734" width="445" height="250" frameborder="0" webkitAllowFullScreen="" mozallowfullscreen="" allowFullScreen=""/> </p> <p> <a href="https://vimeo.com/51090734">Mitt Romney Wants Me To Die</a> from <a href="https://vimeo.com/user11000239">Anaconda Project</a> on <a href="https://vimeo.com">Vimeo</a>.</p> <p/> <p>If Dada remains the ever-optimistic agent of “hope” and “change,” consider these <a href="https://anacondaproject.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Garden State-born disciples of death metal</a> the harbingers of musical doom. 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. The Internet is bursting with blogs/Tumblr/Twitter accounts devoted to chronicling GOP hopeful Mitt Romney’s every awkward moment, and you all couldn’t fill a 3-minute video?</p> <p>Now, if you’ll excuse us, we need to go rinse our brain with <del>a good</del> any Carly Rae Jepsen parody.</p> <p></body>
