Obama Theme

I have Rhapsody for my Verizon phone which means I have access to about every song, so I try a lot of music on my phone, grabbing playlists of a bunch of songs I never heard of just to try new things. I heard a song called “Shove It” by Santogold yesterday, and here are the lyrics for the chorus (repeated over and over):

We think you’re a joke
Shove your hope where it don’t shine

Is there anyway to hear that and not think of Obama?

  1. “we think you’re a joke— shove your hope where it don’t shine” That sums up the feelings of people I have talked to lately. Even As#$%le liberals are starting to turn on THE OBAMA. Has anybody else noticed OBAMA 08 bumperstickers disapearing ? I have Two niegbors that had OBAMA 08 stickers on thier cars that are not there now.

  2. The intent isn’t very clear to me, nor is the identity of the antagonist(s). After reading through the lyrics, it seems like another song about “whitey” or “the Man” trying to keep the black man down.

    “Shove your hope” made me immediately think of Obama though.

  3. This one by Hoyt Axton seems fitting, even a reference to glo-bull warming in there!

    “Work your fingers to the bone , and what do you get?
    …Bony fingers, bony fingers.”

    Grass won’t grow and the sun’s too hot
    The whole darned world is going to pot
    You might as well like it cause I’m all that you’ve got
    Maybe things will get a little better in the morning
    Maybe things will get a little better

    Work your fingers to the bone and what do you get?
    Bony fingers, bony fingers

    Rain coming down and the roof won’t hold her
    Well I lost my job and I feel a little older
    Car won’t run and our love’s grown colder
    Maybe things will get a little better in the morning
    Maybe things will get a little better

    Work your fingers to the bone and what do you get?
    Bony fingers, bony fingers
