Calling politicians “flip-floppers” is as tried and true of a tradition as there is in politics. That’s why it’s odd that there’s no song that makes fun of them in political ads. Well, I’m here to change all that, with my new flip-flopper song for political ads! I’ll use Mitt Romney as the example here for the sake of demonstration, since Rick Perry’s campaign is currently running a series of commercials bashing Romney for his flip-floppery, and using Romney’s own words to prove the claims. Now that’s all fun and stuff, but wouldn’t it be more fun with a song making fun of Mitt Romney for being a flip-flopper?
Well I think so! That’s why I wrote this little ditty! Imagine if you will an ad by the Perry campaign attacking Mitt Romney that opened with the following song:
(To the tune of “Here Comes Peter Cottontail”):
Here comes flippy-floppy tail,
Flipping down that floppy trail,
Flippity, floppity, Romney’s on his way!
Then they could show a freshly caught fish flip-flopping all over the deck of a boat (or on a stage in front of a microphone), but with Mitt Romney’s face Photoshopped onto the fish. Then they could run the quotes after the song, and continue to show the fish flip-flopping around in slow motion that gets progressively slower and slower.
Wouldn’t that be a fun attack ad?
