I only saw this part on closed caption, but apparently when Sarah Palin came out at the end of John McCain’s speech last night, they played Heart’s “Barracuda” which has recently been re-made famous through inclusion in Guitar Hero:
It’s her nickname, to be sure, but the lyrics seem a bit off-message:
All that night and all the next
Swam without looking back
Made for the western pools – silly fools!
If the real thing don’t do the trick
No, you better make up something quick
You gonna burn burn burn burn it to the wick
Ooooooohhhh, barra barracuda.
Basically, I think we need more Abba.
