Well, in keeping with the topicality requirement, I thought I would try to find a song that celebrated something all the Republican candidates had in common, and I think I’ve found it, in two versions. This group was a true one hit wonder, though according to what I read while wandering through youtube, they parlayed the song into appearances in two movies. The group was the Castaways, and the song, well, like I said, a tribute to all the candidates. There are no non lip-synced versions, by the way. Maybe it’s because it was actually physically impossible to replicate those high notes live.
Now, I’m including this second version only because it shows the truly bizarre range of things you can find on the internet generally, and youtube specifically. According to the description on youtube:
“Liar, Liar,” by 1960s garage rock band The Castaways. Dance performance by The Honey Bees (Mary Ann, Ginger and Lovey) of Gilligan’s Island.
I used to watch Gilligan’s Island. Yes, I’ll admit it. But I have absolutely no recollection of “Lovey”. One thing this video does prove is that Mary Ann and Ginger couldn’t dance worth a lick, and Lovey, well, she isn’t even trying. Maybe it was being stuck on that island for so long.
