The Republican Primary in Florida made me think of this song by Wilco, Monday. It's on their "most excellent" album, Being There. They take the name from the 1979 movie of the same name - which was one of Peter Seller's last movies. Trailer is below. It's worth a look.
Monday:
Choo-choo Charlie had a plenty good band but he couldn't understand why no
one would go
A world record players on a tour of Japan, Charlie fixin' his van with the
left arm tan
He said
Monday, I'm all high, get me out of FLA
In school, yeah, I fooled ya, now I know I made a mistake
Blister on a turnpike, let me by, I only wanna wonder why when I don't die
Ewww, I shot ya, yeah, I know, I only wanna go where my wheels roll
Monday, I'm all high, get me out of FLA
I fooled ya, in school yeah, now I know I made a mistake
Everybody's wonderin', "where he'd go?" He must be down in Pensacola
hidin' from the snow
The world record players on a tour of Japan, Charlie's fixin' his van,
he's waitin' for a postcard
And he said
Monday, I'm all high, get me out of TLA
Well, I cut class, in school yeah, now I know I made a mistake
I made a big mistake
Alright
Yeah, alright
Alright
(Man, I've been listen to Creedence Clearwater Rivival)
Son of a.....

I liked that song...I'm ashamed to say I don't know much Wilco...mostly through junky and Barb (Barb Zombie...you should check out her blog sometime, I think you might like it).
Barb does have a good site. I'll give her a bit more time.
Wilco does the music for VW car commercials too - check them out.
