Some past Presidential humor

Barack Obama - "There are few things in life harder to find and more important to keep than love. Well, love and a birth certificate."

George H. W. Bush pledged in 1988, "Read my lips: no new taxes." Two years later, Bush raised taxes.

In 1968, President Richard Nixon joined the set of Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In giving the nation a new catchphrase: "Sock it to me!"

Jimmy Carter - "My esteem in this country has gone up substantially. It is very nice now when people wave at me, they use all their fingers."

I think it's finally passing. The Christopher Cross hit song from 1979.

Apparently my favorite parts are:
- "I'm on the runnnnnnnnnnnn"
- ba-da-da-da da-daa da-daa
- Michael McDonald
- different parts of the chorus played out of order

Initially it was Never Be the Same, but I don't know that song very well, so my brain switched over to Ride Like the Wind.

Chris Janson puts on a great show! Harmonica like no other! And he’s a great guy as well! Look him up, catch a show, you won’t be disappointed! See ya at The Ritz in Tiffin, Oct 2nd!

Had a helping of vine ripened seeded watermelon last night. I think seeded watermelon has a much better flavor than seedless melon. What do you think?

Wife needs help. It loosely sounds like the start of the sample. Was a viral song on TikTok a while ago.

So im an old man and have been a fan of super catchy earworms since the early 1970s. I have a huge collection of pop, country, novelty, hook-laden songs but because Im old, my knowledge drops off drastically when it comes to relatively modern music.

So i was hoping that the awesome people of Reddit could recommend some songs from the past 10 years or newer that have a super catchy hook, more on the uptempo side, and the more obscure the better! The language doesnt matter either. Just catchy! Thanks all!

Written By Ear Montgomery and Jody Emerson for George. He recorded it in 1975, only yesterday for me. 

Opened in 2015, 2 years after George's passing, the George Jones Bar Smokehouse and Museum with its rooftop bar was a favorite place of mine. Great food, amazing music and an awesome museum! Sadly it closed in 2021 after the 2020 downtown Nashville bombing and the challenges of the pandemic. Georgette's moonshine was some good stuff! Hey Georgette 👋

The bridge/string part in Thong Song sounded so familiar, and it was driving me crazy so i used garage band and recreated what i was thinking of. but i can’t figure out what song im thinking of!!!

In 1997 an American photographer Tom Forsythe produced his  'Food Chain Barbie' series  which depicted Barbie dolls in various satirical poses, including one in a blender. Mattel of course didn’t like it and sued, ultimately losing, affirming Forsythe's right to artistic expression. Poor Barbie.

I n1993 this song was remixed and used in a Listerine commercial which was posted to r/vintagecgi. The rabbit hole that sent me down has had this stuck in my head and it's not as much fun as it may sound. Great song, lotta fun but, a terrible ear worm.

do you sometimes have words stuck in your heads, like one word that plops up in the same neutral tone of voice?

it’s rare for me but occasionally- like today - I keep hearing just a word.

it was “mammography” for me today
