Herman Cain is done reassessing his presidential campaign. He's out. Now this doesn't mean he won't reassess his reassessment at some later time and jump in the race again in a few weeks only to reassess all over again. This is Herman Cain we're talking about here. My one regret in all of this is that I couldn't get the novelty song "Herm Cain" set to the tune of Eric Clapton's slow blues rocker "Cocaine" recorded before this final (maybe) flame out. My friend Neil Hutchinson first came up with this idea in the comments section of a Facebook status update, and we started trading verses back and forth. I actually practiced the number with my band but I just couldn't get it recorded and posted on Youtube in time. Since it looks like we won't have Herm Cain to kick around anymore, for your enjoyment at his expense, here are the lyrics:
His pizza pie is always piled high; Herm Cain
He don't know Iran from Uzbeki-beki-bekistan; Herm Cain
It's a nine and nine and a nine; Herm Cain
He won't let you abort, he settles out of court; Herm Cain
If you want a job, you've gotta' stroke his knob; Herm Cain
It's a nine and nine and a nine; Herm Cain
If your job's on the shelf, you've gotta blame yourself: Herm Cain
When you get bad press, you've gotta reassess; Herm Cain
She don't like, she don't like, she don't like Herm Cain
It's a nine and nine and a nine; Herm Cain
That dirty Herm Cain
There are probably more words to this floating around on Facebook right now. This thing just went on forever, and started to write itself. I did have trouble finding something to rhyme with Libya though. Here's a karaoke vid of the song so you can all sing along while Herm Cain is still in the news cycle..
Searching the webs before posting, it turns out that some Herm Cain supporters way beat us with this, and were driven enough to get their vid on Youtube, but they're lyrics really suck. "If you're sick to your soul, of all this government control; Go Cain." Now I obviously don't see the world in the same way as your average Cain supporter, but it seems pretty sick to make a campaign song out of a tune about doing rails of toot. Then again, you've gotta' have a high level of congnitive dissonance to support Cain in the first place.
