Subject: ADD: VOTE!! (Spook Handy)
Spook Handy came out with a great song for the 2008 election. It's called simply "VOTE!!

There's a version for the current election, but I haven't found it yet other than about 20 minutes into this Facebook Video Concert

VOTE!!
(Spook Handy, 2008 version)

1. When politicians come to town
    and kiss babies til their noses turns brown
    you can bet your bottom dollar they want your vote.
So speak your mind, cause believe it or not
this world has become a big melting pot.
It's easy to get yourself lost in the lot
cause the world's made up of all kinds of people, so

Chorus:

2. We've got fuzzy headed peace loving carrot chomping farmer boys,
    Skin headed neo-nazi face bashing paranoids,
    Fat cats sitting back scoffing at the tabloids, yup.
And theres cross burning, homophobic, church going family types,
Flag burning, anti-war, give the poor more types,
Out of school, know it all, Cliff Clavin prototypes,.....

Chorus:

3. Weve got men hating aggravating right wing feminists
    Pro-life clinic burning gospel preaching terrorists
    City dwelling unemployed folks who can't stand it no more,
Sky choking river killing free market advocates
Tree loving owl hugging pro-environmentalists
Urban folk high on dope raising up their clenched fists.........

Chorus:

4. Now Farmer Josh lives up on the mountain.
    grows his own food drinks from Mother Nature's fountain
    and only gets down into town around once a week.
And all the pretty young gals from the near by high school
stop by his farm cause they think he's so cool
chewing on wheat grass and spitting out philosophy.
    He says, "Looking at life cosmologically,
    we're all cells in the body of the Almighty
    and with God-like nature we create our own reality.
But down here on Earth - that's a different ball of wax
We've got to eat, pay all kinds of taxes,
and form governments that have laws to pass cause the world's made up of all kinds of people, so Vote!
