The worst-kept secret in American politics has finally been confirmed: Hillary Clinton is officially running for president. With this announcement comes a crucial decision that could set the tone for her campaign—selecting the perfect theme song.
Why focus on a song when Clinton is still formulating her campaign message? The choice of a campaign anthem often serves as a reflection of its candidate’s image. Back in 2008, Clinton stumbled with her pick of the decidedly untrendy Celine Dion’s “You and I.” In stark contrast, Barack Obama’s inspiring message led to the creation of the viral video “Yes We Can,” featuring will.i.am and Scarlett Johansson, which resonated widely.
Clinton understands the power of a great song; after all, music played a role in her husband Bill Clinton’s successful 1992 campaign. Fleetwood Mac’s “Don’t Stop” helped to underscore a message of optimism during a time of economic recovery. Although some joked that the campaign should have embraced “Love the One You’re With” instead, the right tune can elevate a campaign significantly.
This election cycle has already seen its fair share of musical missteps. Senator Ted Cruz referenced John Lennon’s “Imagine” during his announcement, yet later confessed to distancing himself from rock music post-9/11. Similarly, Senator Rand Paul faced challenges with his campaign video when it failed to secure rights for John Rich’s “Shutting Down Detroit,” leading to a YouTube removal.
In light of all this, our team at Cervical Insemination has compiled a list of potential songs that could help Clinton resonate with voters on her journey back to the White House. Without further ado, let’s explore these anthems:
- Katy Perry’s “Roar”: Perry is already an avid supporter, expressing her desire to write a song for Hillary after reading her autobiography, Hard Choices. This empowering anthem could serve as a modern “I Am Woman,” rallying support and perhaps keeping challengers like Elizabeth Warren at bay.
- Taylor Swift’s “Shake It Off”: Hillary could take a cue from Taylor, who effortlessly silences her critics through her music. The only concern? Clinton’s dance moves might be reminiscent of Elaine Benes from Seinfeld—expect some awkward wrist turns.
- Idina Menzel’s “Let It Go”: There’s an undeniable parallel between Clinton’s chilly media interactions and Elsa’s frosty demeanor. Just like Elsa, it seems that Hillary knows how to let go of the past and focus on the future.
- Stevie Nicks’ “Stand Back”: With Nicks enjoying a resurgence in popularity, selecting one of her tracks could evoke memories of the last successful Clinton administration. Written on the day of her wedding, this timeless classic remains powerful and fierce. If Clinton wins, she could even convince Nicks to perform “Landslide” at her inauguration—now that would be a showstopper.
