X Marks The Spot

I know everyone is probably sick to the back teeth of reading about the forthcoming election, so, the last place you probably expected to read about it was in Mol’s Sound Words? Right? ... Wrong!

So, for a bit of a twist on the usually bullshit you’ve been listening to over the last month from lobbyists, journalists and spin doctors I was thinking about what songs should the respective candidates for the post of Prime Minister adopt for their election campaigns.

Here are a few suggestions I had in mind:

Gordon Brown: It’s got to be Street Fighting Man by The Rolling Stones. Brown is a big, bawdy monster of a man capable of ‘having anyone’ in the ring I reckon (that basically means he can kick Cameron and Clegg’s head in easily). Perfect song for him I reckon. It might also be a good idea to have Golden Brown by The Stranglers only with the words changed to: “Gordon Brown, taxes the poor” . and finally, after this weeks debacle in Rochdale, maybe a track by The Audio Bullies wouldn’t go a miss? (get it?)

Nick Clegg, in my opinion, Slick Nick looks more like a pill-popper from the summer of 1989 looking for a ‘love in’ on Ainsdale Beach after necking a few ‘Gary’s’. I think his track should be original version of ‘You’ve Got the Love’ by The Source. This is mainly down to his new found popularity amongst the (young) voters of this country. A big smiley t-shirt, a beaney hat and a pair of semi-flares instead of a suit also wouldn’t go a miss

David Cameron: ah, good old foppish Dave with his dodgy side part and rolled up sleeves (supposedly representing the working class man). It’s a tough one which song to choose for ‘Dodgy Dave’. Personally I think ‘Liar’ by Henry Rawlins would be perfectly suited. Either that or ‘The First Cut Is the Deepest’ by Rod Stewart as it seems that is the first thing his party are (allegedly) planning to do if they get into Downing Street

So, who ever comes out on top could well be singing we are the champions and the two runners up (obviously without the result of a hung parliament) might just have to listen to don’t look back in anger

Tally ho!
