Dave, Sharp eyes! Not only is "Superstar" featured, but "Bless the Beasts and Children" and "Flat Baroque" as well. |

Did you notice that they titled it "Bless The Beast and The Child"? So, what was the "A" side with "Flat Baroque"?
I wish I could post a photo of it here! I froze the frame and took a photo with my digital camera.

I froze the frame and took a photo with my digital camera. Hi Dave, Here is my screen capture: It looks like the name was shortened to "Bless the Beast & the Child" because the space alloted to the song title on the menu selection for the juke box was running out. Maybe "Bless the Beasts & Children" could have been squeezed in instead. The "A" side of the 45 rpm single with "Flat Baroque" is "It's Going to Take Some Time." Of course, one of the main points of this ad is to associate Hillary Clinton's name with "Superstar." The selection of Fleetwood Mac's "Don't Stop" for Bill Clinton's campaign seemed to work well. |

Ooooo, good capture!
Although I can't see HC using Carpenters for her campaign, she might want to be associated with "Superstar".

  Dave and I had fun bantering back and forth about THIS last night....did you notice all of the titles? Of course, they were all something Hillary COULD HAVE used as her theme song - some by Paul Simon (Me and Julio ?? don't know how that would translate) but the one I really got a kick out of, besides the Carpenter's references - Bless the Beasts to me was a reference to "It Takes a Village" and of course, Flat Baroque spoke for itself, as did Superstar....and then flip the page and there's Shania Twain's Rock This Country - I thought that one was a great one, and of course, the flip side was "You're Still The One." All great titles touting Hillary or with some play on the election. I believe her biggest "dig" if you will, to the Republicans was the "Dixie Chicks" prominenently listed there - don't remember the song, but the controversy that followed their comment regarding this current team of elected high officials I don't think will ever be forgotten. Kudos to whoever actually designed this ad for them. They were thinking through every detail. And, as we now know, Celiene Dion's tune is the one chosen for Hillary's campaign song. Tim

www.hillaryclinton.com/feature/song/How'd you capture that screen?!! I tried and tried, and wound up taking a photo with my camera! On the photo of the above link, we can see "For All We Know" and "Don't Be Afraid" visible. I thought that Nicolas Cage did well with how he used "Superstar" in his movie "Ghost Rider", but I'm glad that Hillary decided to use Celine Deon's more modern song instead. It was already used by a Canadian airline, if I'm not mistaken. Bruce Springsteen was not at all happy when Reagan attempted to use "Born in the USA".

It is interesting to note that a high number of tunes by the Carpenters are included in the Clinton videos and website materials, far outnumbering those by other artists. Can it be that Hillary Clinton or a campaign staffer is a big Carpenters fan? |

How funny, Dreams - I had just made the same statement to my wife, after Dave sent me the link to Hillary's campaign song that he posted above. That's THREE 45's of Carpenters songs....more than any other artist got, I believe. SOMEBODY (and my guess would be Bill) is a Carpenters fan. Tim |
