Recently, a country music video, Stand with Hillary, was produced by a new super PAC of the same name. If there is a point, it is that it’s never too early to release a music video to implore Americans who drive pickups and tractors to get behind the Hillary Clinton for President machine. The video shows a hunky cowboy type singing about, well, Hillary.

Let’s be clear, there isn’t a cowboy this side of Brokeback Mountain that’ll vote for Hillary in 2016. The video inspires no one, not even the Dixie Chicks –and I think they actually like the former First Lady, senator, secretary of state, expert cattle futures speculator and Monica Lewinsky rival.

As songs go surely someone can do better to more accurately reflect what Hillary Clinton is all about. So, as a public service, I am stepping forward with my contribution to the cause. I think this better captures the essence of Hillary. (Cowboy hat is optional.)

Hillary!

(Sung to the tune of Yesterday – I’m sure Paul McCartney won’t mind)

Hillary, ’08 was supposed to be for me

This is harder than it needs to be

But, I believe in Hillary

Apparently, I’m not as broke as I had claimed to be

There’s Benghazi hanging over me

My book tour ended suddenly

Why I have to run, I don’t know, Bill thinks I should

It’s been way to long, it’s my turn I understood

Wondering if I really have just what it takes

Hope nobody sees I’m just a fake

Oh, what difference does it make?

Politics, it’s so easy for just Bill to play

I don’t know what I’m doing anyway

But, Hillary is here to stay

Why might Warren run, I don’t know, she wouldn’t say

If she even tries, I’m sure Bill will make her pay

Bill tells me, I’ll have to run in every primary

Says other Dems I’ll need to pillory

‘Cause I believe in Hillary

Me me me me me me meee

The Grammy nominating committee has already been provided with my email address and Twitter handle so they know how to contact me. I look forward to appearing on the same stage at the Grammys as Jonathan Gruber, who will certainly win the award for Best Spoken Word recording. (So many to choose from!)
