Music Box: Presidential Debate (Nashville Edition)

I know it appears that, seemingly, My New Boyfriend is morphing from a momentary place for hilarity and levity to a political ranting pit stop.  My apologies, but I can’t deter my passions sometimes.  So, to even things out, here’s a juxtaposition of both.

Here, in 3 minutes, is last night’s Nashville Presidential debate/song and dance.  Usually, when asked “So, who won the debate?” my answer is “Whoever you’re voting for”.  Last nights victor was this brilliant young man from New York named Michael.  You need to spelunk his YouTube page for other strokes of genius.  Check it out here ~  SCHMOYOHO

Enjoy.  And one last thing ~ I dare you to just try to STOP humming “Who’s gonna work it out, baby, who’s gonna work it out…” It won’t work.   Oh, and if you wanna to sing along (and you will), he has the lyrics on his YouTube page~

Politico: Les Misbarack

“Les Miserables” – one of my 5 or so favorite musicals – ended with pretty much every Revolutionist perishing, so I hope that this video ~ as hilarious and clever as it is ~ is not indicative of what’s to come.  Let’s hope Act 2 of the upcoming presidential election ends on a sunnier note than the fates of 99% of the characters in the play. 

It’s a stirring, depressing, monumental musical (the 1987 original, not the recently closed revival) and “One Day More” ends Act 1. 

(It was a stroke of genius to have Putin…I mean Palin…as Madame Thenardier and McCain as Javert. How apropos!) 

Picture it, November 3rd 2008…
