Lyrics to Heart's Barracuda

"If the real thing don’t do the trick
You better make up something quick
You gonna burn burn burn burn it to the wick
Ooooooh, barracuda?"

You just gotta love this!  The Republicans pick a them song for their VP candidate with all the same attention to detail they gave to . . . . Picking their VP candidate.

What about this little insight into McCain-Palin

 "No right no wrong, selling a song-

Or how about this:

I bet you gonna ambush me
You’d have me down down down down on my knees
Now wouldn’t you, barracuda?"

If you read this diary earlier, you know I did not really understand this song.  Maybe because I was a horny 16 year old when I developed a ridiculous crush on Ann and Nancy Wilson, I thought the "barracuda" was a sexually prowling guy.  Now, I learn it is the predatory music business.  Even more appropriate that the Republicans would use a song criticizing exploitive corporate power over women to intro the women they are exploiting at the moment.  My apologies to two of my favorite rockers for assuming it was all about sex.

 Here is the entire song. Not exactly a Republican heartland anthem under any interpretation.
