Where the Hell is Bill?



Don't get me wrong - I hate Bill Clinton just as much as the average Republican, maybe even more, since I ain't a Republican. Nor a Democrat, contrary to evidence. (And no way am I stinking Libertarian. Ha-ha! - those guys crack me up!)

But. As I like to say. But. Where the hell is Bill?

When it comes down to celebrity comics having to chide you for not doing enough for your party and its candidate, you know you're messing up.

I was going to modify the lyrics to this timeless political anthem to suit Bill Clinton more appropriately, but upon closer reading I see absolutely no reason to do so.

Sing along - you all know the tune!

Where, where the Hell is Bill?
Where, where the Hell is Bill?
Where, where the Hell is Bill?
Where, where the Hell is Bill?
Well, maybe he went to get a sideways haircut
Maybe he went to get a striped shirt
Maybe he went to get some plastic shoes
Maybe he went to get some funny sunglasses
Well, maybe he went to get an Air Force parka
Maybe he went to get a Vespa scooter
Maybe he went to get a British flag
Maybe he went to go Mod Ska dancing
Well, maybe he went to get a mohawk
And maybe he went to get some gnarly thrash boots
Maybe he went to go ride his skateboard
Maybe he went to see the Circle Jerks
Though long a traditional part of the American folk repertoire, this version is ascribed to a little known jugband/mimetroupe/blackface/vaudeville group from the American West, known as "Camper Van Beethoven." Historians assume the name of this travelling group was innaccurately transcribed from ancient sources. It's just too silly to be real.
