i'm gonna go out and get absolutely drenched in mccain
So, um, there's this video, by McCain supporters (one presumes), which kind of filks 'It's Raining Men'.

As Dan Savage notes, this is a disrespectful and, more importantly, badly sung misappropriation of an early gay anthem. However. If this is how McCain supporters want to promote him, I say bravo. Please, pudgy off-tune ladies, misappropriate some other movement anthems. My boyfriend recommends 'In The Navy', for one. Why not '(You Spin Me) Right Round' or 'I Just Died In Your Arms Tonight'?
But why even limit yourselves to the gay movement? We've all been waiting for a conservative cover of 'I Am Woman, Hear Me Roar' or 'Rebel Girl' by Bikini Kill. How about 'War' by Edwin Starr, or 'Mosh' by Eminem? Lend your atrophied vocal cords to the cause. The results are bound to be hilarious and do nothing whatsoever for your candidate.

Eeeeyagh. I got about a minute into that (to "I'm going to go out and let myself get absolutely ... John McCain") and I had to go bleach my brain forever. THANKS SO MUCH YOU BASTARD.
