Autumn Fifty - number 20

Morrissey - Ouija Board, Ouija Board

I'm very surprised that this was higher in the chart than the superior Interesting Drug. Perhaps this is because it was released later in the year, about the same time people'd be voting. The video is quite fun (based on Blithe Spirit, I presume), but when the vid eclipses the song, you know the tune isn't that great. I do like the idea of the dead not wanting to be contacted though: S-T-E-P-H-E-N-P-U-S-H-O-F-F

The Ballad Of Mitt Romney

I wrote a little song for Mitt:

Mitt wants to go back to Massachusetts,
Something's telling him he must go home.
But the lights all went out in Massachusetts
The day the voters left him all alone.

Tried to hitch a ride to Washington DC,
Gotta do the things he wanted to
But the lights all went out in New York City
And brought Obama back to see the way through.

Patrick's now the guy for Massachusetts,
A Democrat: the people were keen,
And the votes all went blue in Massachusetts
And Massachusetts is one place Mitt won't see.

Mitt will remember Massachusetts...
