'You and I' No More?

December 04, 2007 4:11 PM

ABC News' Eloise Harper Reports: Less than 30 days before the critical Iowa caucuses, there's a shake-up in the Clinton presidential campaign.  Hillary Clinton and Celine Dion appear to be parting ways.

For months, the soprano headlined Clinton's, D-N.Y., campaign appearances as Dion's "You and I" served as the former first lady's campaign theme song.

"High above the mountains, far across the sea," bellowed Dion over loudspeaker after loudspeaker.

"I can hear your voice calling out to me, Brighter than the sun and darker than the night, I can see your love shining like a light," the Canadian songstress would sing as the aspiring American president took or departed the political stage.

At first, Dion and Clinton hit a all the right notes, as they're likely to say in the inevitable VH1 Behind the Music special.  Brought together in an inventive and original contest, "You and I" was unveiled as the people's choice for Clinton's destiny (not child's) filled run for the White House.

The song played on, from Iowa to South Carolina, without missing a beat.  But, now, only the sounds of silence can be heard from the Clinton camp's Celine CD.

Instead on the trail these days, Big Head Todd and the Monsters are in and their "Blue Sky" is seemingly the campaign's favorite as the New York Senator enters and exits the stage.

The Clinton camp had no response when pressed by ABC News to explain why the sudden change from chick-favorite Vegas-anchored Dion to the masculine, Colorado-native Monsters.

Fortunately, for just these circumstances, VH1 has created some consoling music selections to document this critical juncture in the 2008 race: the top 40 break-up songs ever.

Anybody remember that little Celine-Babs tiff?

Posted by: Dan McNeil | Dec 4, 2007 6:23:23 PM


Another 'bad day' for Hillary. First, her favorite 'Hillraiser', Norman Hsu was indicted. Next, Pres. Bush tell us that Iran stopped its nuclear program 4 years ago, and yet Hillary signed on to give Bush the authority to 'get tough' on Iran. But now, we have yet another 'Flip-Flop' by Hillary, as she dumps Celine and picks a new group.

Perhaps the best thing for you to do now, is to step up your attacks on Barack. I am sure that this strategy is working.

Posted by: WashingtonPete | Dec 4, 2007 6:59:10 PM

I hope this doesn't mean we have to listen to Streisand now.

Posted by: Bob in NJ | Dec 4, 2007 7:30:40 PM

Celine Dion song for a theme? What was it, the theme to the "Titanic"? Hillary is sinking faster then anyone can believe. She does not have 1/100th the personality of her husband. No one will be able to bail her out.

Posted by: Joe Barron | Dec 4, 2007 7:35:00 PM

Perhaps the theme song to the Mary Tyler Moore show?....

Who can turn the world on with her smile.... who can take a nothing day and...

Perhaos not...

LOL!

Posted by: Jeff | Dec 4, 2007 7:40:46 PM

Payback for Bab's endorsement. can't stand Celine and has feigned illness just to avoid getting blasted off the stage by her better (much) vocals.

Posted by: Richard | Dec 4, 2007 7:41:04 PM

Hey, stop picking on HRC. She's trying to concentrate and decide what her new position will be on Iran...duh

Posted by: cash | Dec 4, 2007 7:41:56 PM

When Strisand came openly into the fold, you could count the hours before Celine would be dumped by Hillery. Loyal to the end as always.

Posted by: Julia | Dec 4, 2007 7:43:35 PM

Hillary is attacking the KINDERGARTEN comments of a rival for president??????

Are you kidding me?????????????????

She is the smartest woman in America, yet comments from Barrack in Kindergarten are fair political game????

Hillary is a buffon of the first order!!!!!!!

Posted by: Darrel | Dec 4, 2007 7:44:37 PM

Her theme song should be "SEASON OF THE WITCH"

Posted by: Ed Silva | Dec 4, 2007 7:45:53 PM

Hillary can't even remain consistent on a campaign song, one day one view, the next day another( i.e driver's licenses for illegals).

Posted by: Tobias2012 | Dec 4, 2007 7:46:31 PM

If Hillary had integrity or self-respect she would have ensured the last sound Bill Clinton ever heard years ago was her re-loading!

Why is anyone surprised she is all over the map now?

Posted by: Alison Carnie | Dec 4, 2007 7:51:03 PM

Hillary is soooooo over.

Posted by: bonnie dudley | Dec 4, 2007 7:51:27 PM

And this is exactly why Mrs Hillary Rotten Clinton wil NOT occupy the White House again! The Clinton Crime Family is done, stick a fork in them!!

Posted by: courteous wolf | Dec 4, 2007 7:53:52 PM

"The Internationale" would seem to be a perfect theme song for this state-socialist's campaign.

Posted by: Geoff | Dec 4, 2007 7:54:58 PM

Her highness needs a new theme song - How about "The Adams Family" theme song - that fits.

Posted by: K. West | Dec 4, 2007 7:55:40 PM

FreeRepublic had a great collection of songs for HRC.
They included:
Witchy Woman
The $itch is Back

These might have had greater staying power.

Posted by: Del | Dec 4, 2007 7:57:51 PM

Well, at least they didn't substitute The $itch Is Back.

Maybe she should use Stand By Your Man.

Posted by: tw111 | Dec 4, 2007 7:58:16 PM

thank god she dumped that celine song!! go hillary!!!!

Posted by: robert | Dec 4, 2007 8:00:16 PM

I personally like "The $itch is Back." My liberal son in NYC suggests "War Pigs" by Black Sabbath.

Posted by: eastbaygrease | Dec 4, 2007 8:04:04 PM

How about a little 'dazed and confused' by Led Zep.....or is that just all part of her act?

Posted by: Robert | Dec 4, 2007 8:06:28 PM

Eh? Hillary who?

Posted by: Wicked Warren | Dec 4, 2007 8:11:59 PM

Ah, the musical tributes are limitless, aren't they? Well, as long as she can never use "Hail to the Chief" (Chiefess? Chieftest?) oh well, you know what I mean. We can continue to hope!!! It's getting more fun everyday.

Posted by: Virginia | Dec 4, 2007 8:14:34 PM

Hillary.....Oy vey!! What a morsel of moral ineptitude this woman? is!! She and her husband are so crooked they will have to screw them into the ground when they pass away. You lefties deserve her!!

Posted by: Jack | Dec 4, 2007 8:16:49 PM

"itch is Back" was tailor made for her.

"I entertain by picking brains,
Sell my soul by dropping names"

Posted by: Rocco Tool | Dec 4, 2007 8:17:34 PM

how about a 'new' theme song for hillary, my vote goes to "crash course in brain surgery" by Metallica. or even better "south of heaven" by slayer. or "highway to hell" by ACDC. anyone??

Posted by: roger | Dec 4, 2007 8:19:11 PM

Remember these famous words "I did not have sex with that woman Ms Lewinsky". Here is the President of the United States lying to the American people. Then Hillary takes it and uses it as the poor wife that never knew he was fooling around. Then tells the American people he has an addiction to sex. Give me a break.

Posted by: Dan | Dec 4, 2007 8:20:50 PM

How 'bout the old Elton John standard - "the $itch is back"

Posted by: JJ | Dec 4, 2007 8:26:13 PM

I spoke with Mick Fleetwood recently and told him I'd never forgive him for the Clinton administration. Remember , "Don't Stop Thinking About Tomorrow'?

I love it when the wheels come off.

Posted by: Ardmoor Oakes | Dec 4, 2007 8:29:50 PM

I thinke she is smart, she talk like them and me and she be a good leeder too. pleeze vot fur her. rememmber that when her and bill get divorsed they still be brother and sister.

Posted by: I vot for her | Dec 4, 2007 8:30:56 PM

Oh, come on now! We need Hillary in the general election so she can get her %$& kicked and finally, yes FINALLY, go awayyyyy!

Posted by: regis49 | Dec 4, 2007 8:33:29 PM

Clearly Elton John's classic "The $itch is Back" is the obvious favorite. What does it tell you about a presidential candidate (of either party) who is viewed so negatively by so many?

Posted by: Douglas Love | Dec 4, 2007 8:36:21 PM

Why not change her theme song? She has changed her theme on mud-slinging. Just weeks ago she was saying that her concern was only for the American people and not mud-slinging against her democratic rivals. Now with the change in polls she has forgotten the American people, but obviously not their vote. Just further proof that the only one thing Hillary is for, is Hillary. She has flip-flopped on everything and now even her campaign theme song.

Posted by: Ed | Dec 4, 2007 8:37:05 PM

Ha Ha Ha. Just you wait. They don't call Bill Clinton the comeback kid for nothing. Hillary will win in Iowa and be in the Whitehouse in Jan 09

Posted by: bill | Dec 4, 2007 8:39:00 PM

We haven't even had the first primary and I am so sick of listening to the Clinton spin and scandals - not to mention their attempted character assassinations of anyone who disagrees with them.

We have so many serious problems in the world and all we have is the Clintons worrying about themselves - and Barack Obama's kindergarten days.

We have so many good people to elect to public office for the Presidency on down without resorting to the Clintons. Let's exercise our rights as Americans and leave the Clintons in the past where they belong.

Posted by: Laurie | Dec 4, 2007 8:40:38 PM

I never liked Bill Clinton but I have to say this one positive thing about him; when it comes to honesty, integrity and character he is head and shoulders above his wife.

Posted by: Old bit head | Dec 4, 2007 8:41:24 PM

Get real! Does she really think that people are dumb enough to put her into the WH based on a theme song? She is toast!

Posted by: topaz | Dec 4, 2007 8:42:17 PM

How about "Communication Breakdown" by Led Zeplin? I suppose that after Hillary gets her &$* kicked in the primaries Bill will say that he never supported her in the first place. Just please go away already.

Posted by: Tim | Dec 4, 2007 8:42:24 PM

What was the title song to "Taming of the Shrew"?

Posted by: agnus | Dec 4, 2007 8:42:42 PM

Hillary was never a woman of any stature, I live in NYC and I am glad to say that I never voted for her when she ran for the senate both times, just because she can win in NY dont mean that she can win nationally. Here is my prediction, Hillary will never be president.

Like I've said before, as a flag waving, bible touting Republican that if Hillary is the Democratic nominee that I will vote for the Devil over that FemiNAZI Hillary. She is the only person that can unite the Republican party.

Posted by: Kalik Crick, Brooklyn, NY | Dec 4, 2007 8:50:01 PM

H. Clinton just went from Mrs. Disingenuous to Mrs. Nasty. Hillary the wheels have come off and you are drowning in your own stupidity (his kindergarden teacher said). Hillary's now running for kindergarden cop.

Posted by: kevin | Dec 4, 2007 8:57:54 PM

Give H a break I WANT her the democrat candidate. She can be SO beat in the general election.

Posted by: RayRay | Dec 4, 2007 8:58:03 PM

We need to trounce her in the general election so she won't run ever again!!

Posted by: RayRay | Dec 4, 2007 9:04:03 PM

How about Donovan's "Season of the Witch"?

Posted by: Sunny | Dec 4, 2007 9:10:29 PM

New song for HRC The Rolling Stones %&TCH

Posted by: Gil | Dec 4, 2007 9:12:35 PM

Suggestion; Tammy Wynette's Stand By Your Man.

Posted by: gster | Dec 4, 2007 9:18:16 PM

Don't count the big H out just yet. I am sure that she "don't feel no way tahrd" and will show just how nasty she can be. Obama is about to feel the wrath.

Posted by: Foster | Dec 4, 2007 9:21:45 PM

I can hardly wait to send her & Slick back to the rock that they crawled out from under. I will dance a merry jig the day she is gone.
I think her song could be "Beverly Hillbillies"..

Posted by: Jackie | Dec 4, 2007 9:26:23 PM

Two things: First, her attack on Obama makes you want Obama more than ever. Second, what made her think her theme would win any support? Queen Hillary needs to be denied the throne.

Posted by: mike | Dec 4, 2007 9:30:42 PM

Hillary the magic female lived by Bill C, she frolicked in the White House in the land called DC.

Posted by: bill | Dec 4, 2007 9:31:33 PM

Suggestion:
Poor Unfortunate Souls
Sung by Ursula the Sea Witch (Disney's The Little Mermaid) My daughters have been playing this dvd over the span of a dozen years. Ursula reminds me of Hillary; and the song had to have been written especially for her.

Posted by: Dr Den | Dec 4, 2007 9:38:43 PM

Perhaps, Elton John's hit, "The $%tch is back" would be a more appropriate theme song for Shrillary.

Posted by: Jay | Dec 4, 2007 9:40:57 PM

Just a suggestion for a replacment,
Black Eyed Peas, MY HUMP. Bill Clinton would approve...

Posted by: Chester | Dec 4, 2007 9:41:01 PM

Here in Quebec most people hate Celine Dion. The only people here who care about her is dying old ladies in old people homes. . we are so happy you moved to the states.. where people like you belong

Posted by: Gagnon Oedipe | Dec 4, 2007 9:41:59 PM

hillary clinton and celine dion were outcasts as girls and squares as women.

they may be rich but both are homely losers with very weird husbands.

Posted by: deroy | Dec 4, 2007 9:44:51 PM

She won't dare go outside when it is raining because she might melt.

Posted by: RobG | Dec 4, 2007 9:46:08 PM

When she loses it will be interesting to see how long the Clinton's remain in New York or together for that matter. I detest how the mainstream media gives her a pass on so many things, especially her marriage to a habitual cheater. Bill's just hanging on for another shot at the white house while making it look like they actually have a marriage. Hillary couldn't run at all if she had divorced Bill when they left office. It's more of an arrangement than a marriage. Clinton = Deception.

Posted by: Craig | Dec 4, 2007 9:47:51 PM

It's the honesty, stupid!
Obama inspires Clinton mires.
Vote Obama 2008

Posted by: TruthbeTold | Dec 4, 2007 9:56:33 PM

Have raised five kids and not a one ever wrote an essay in kindergarten! They did well to write their names and the A, B, C's. This just shows that either Obama is a genius or Hillary is a liar. I wonder which is true. I'm putting my money on both.

Posted by: Peggy | Dec 4, 2007 9:56:37 PM

If there is any doubt in anybody's mind that this woman needs to occupy a jail cell instead of the White House...read Kathlee Willey's new book. Though Willey appears to be a few cards short of a deck, there is enough corroborating evidence to make one wonder how HC has eluded indictment on a number of charges.

Posted by: Judy | Dec 4, 2007 9:59:50 PM

Maybe she can get the Dixie Chicks to sing an anti american song for her. They seem to be in the same boat anyway with America.

Posted by: Willy | Dec 4, 2007 10:05:15 PM

To quote Toby Keith:

"She's a Canadian, ain't she?"

'Nuff said.

How about using my song Mr. Potato Head.

Posted by: Mary Kay | Dec 4, 2007 10:07:35 PM

Here come the Clinton haters again. The same folks that brought us Bush and Cheney. I hope we don't listen to these folks again.

Posted by: Steve | Dec 4, 2007 10:11:08 PM

Hillary has had sex with more women than Bill ever did. Les Be Friends.

Posted by: Doug | Dec 4, 2007 10:12:37 PM

Lola by the Kinks is good.

Posted by: Willy | Dec 4, 2007 10:17:10 PM

Hey Hillary! You might want to consider an old country favorite, Stop The World And Let Me Off."

Posted by: PETER QUINTON | Dec 4, 2007 10:19:50 PM

Doug - It depends on what you mean by 'sex'?!?

Posted by: Craig | Dec 4, 2007 10:21:12 PM

If Hill's so proud of Billy's record why doesn't she use "Don't Stop Thinking About Tomorrow" as her theme song?

Posted by: Duane Steil | Dec 4, 2007 10:22:22 PM

Hey Hillary! You might want to consider an old country favorite, "Stop The World And Let Me Off."

Posted by: PETER QUINTON | Dec 4, 2007 10:23:20 PM

Hillary Clinton switches theme songs the way she switches policies. Not a good example of presidential leadership.

Posted by: Sheldon | Dec 4, 2007 10:23:22 PM

Hillary boasts that Obama is not qualified to run the country? Where does she figure SHE is? I'm missing something. Again.

Posted by: risavjl | Dec 4, 2007 10:30:06 PM

Oh, no, don't worry. We've got a lot MORE questions for Hillary to answer, don't we folks?

Posted by: Yupdatsme | Dec 4, 2007 10:32:32 PM

Possibly an instrumental would be best.... or maybe 'Lyin Eyes' bye the Eagles... "You can't hide your lyin' eyes And your smile is a thin disguise
I thought by now you'd realize There ain't no way to hide your lyin eyes" How fitting.

Posted by: Craig | Dec 4, 2007 10:33:43 PM

Hillary is a neo-con who would vote to bomb Iran.

Posted by: David | Dec 4, 2007 10:53:06 PM

Possible replacement song?
"We're Off to See the Wizard"
(With Hillary as "the man behind the curtain")

Posted by: bev | Dec 4, 2007 11:02:03 PM

Yo, Jim Wagner...I don't know if anyone has let you, or the rest of the Bush haters in the world, in on the secret or not, but George W. BUSH (not BUSCH) isn't running for President this time around. Don't you think it's about time all the Dim candidates started concentrate on slapping each other down?

And as long as you're talking about Condi Rice, I'd be interested in hearing what you have to say about Janet Reno (you know, never married, no kids). Hmmm, Jimbo, how about it?

Posted by: Mike | Dec 4, 2007 11:02:20 PM

The only thing genuine about Hillary is her phoniness.

Posted by: Ann Martin | Dec 4, 2007 11:04:01 PM

I guess someone finally told Ms Clinton that her campaign theme song was also the advertising jingle for Air Canada?

Posted by: Jim | Dec 4, 2007 11:06:11 PM

Hillay has a) been married for decades (something Rudy Guliani and Fred Thompson can't seem to do) and b) has a child that wasn't conceived as a science project. Hillary's daughter had a real Dad.

Hillary will be a better commander than G.W.Busch, the DUI president.

Posted by: Jim | Dec 4, 2007 11:13:15 PM

Hillary should use 'Evil Woman' by ELO as her new campaign theme song.

Posted by: Mark | Dec 4, 2007 11:18:46 PM

What about 'Highway to Hell'?

Because that's what American will become if Hillary becomes president.

Posted by: Timthy | Dec 4, 2007 11:30:32 PM

How about "Walking Contradiction" by Greenday?

Posted by: Brian | Dec 4, 2007 11:33:55 PM

Hillary does not have a snowball chance in Hell to be the Pres. It is a Man's job to run this country and no way will the military take its orders from someone who hate them.
GOD save America from another Clinton Nightmare.

Posted by: Robert | Dec 4, 2007 11:35:08 PM

I think the "ADDAMS ' family theme would be best

Posted by: scott | Dec 4, 2007 11:44:41 PM

Choosing leader of the free world and they write bilge like this.

Posted by: jake | Dec 4, 2007 11:59:33 PM

A bounty of new campaign songs from my favorite band, Queen. "Scandal", "Don't Try So Hard", "Play The Game", "I Want It All (And I Want It Now!)", but most appropriately "KILLER QUEEN"! And just for good measure, a few for Bill: "Man On the Prowl", and "Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy". But hopefully the Iowa voters will sing "Another One Bites The Dust"!

Posted by: Donna | Dec 5, 2007 12:12:35 AM

How about Green Day's AMERICAN IDIOT?

Posted by: Kathy | Dec 5, 2007 12:39:49 AM

Hillary is sooo 2007... next

Posted by: Kimberly | Dec 5, 2007 12:40:18 AM

For fear of having a fatal accident I still must say STOP THE HILDER-BEAST, we are Americans not Joe 6 pack who is so lazy that we'll let King Clinton and gang take over the White House. Out of 300 Million Americans I find it hard to believe that some are dumb enough to think the Hilder-Beast is entitiled to be President.

Posted by: GILBERT LENCHUS | Dec 5, 2007 12:46:22 AM

I think she should use Stevie Nicks Fleetwood Mac song, "Tell Me Lies, Tell Me Sweet Little Lies".

Posted by: Robert | Dec 5, 2007 12:48:17 AM

Maybe she should stop switching the dial on the radio and talk about some of the world problems a president has to face.

Posted by: James | Dec 5, 2007 12:52:26 AM

Much about nothing. Celine and Hillary, what a pair. Neither are worth the cost of e-mail access.

Posted by: slow boat | Dec 5, 2007 12:59:13 AM

" Bat out of Hell " would work or better yet " Fade to Black " and the sooner the better. Behind it all I think Bill will get a real inner satisfaction if she gets beat. Then he can dump her and go bimboing.

Posted by: Dick Sicario | Dec 5, 2007 1:01:21 AM

Hillary lasted longer than anyone thought, but, come on, she looks, sounds and acts like everyone's bitter ex-wife...A world leader? That shrill, insincere shrew? Not a chance.This race has turned out to be the Democrats to lose. Just hope the winning republican is better than the last few turkeys....

Posted by: Ron | Dec 5, 2007 1:15:55 AM

For the new campaign song, how about "The &$tch is Back" by Elton John?

Posted by: Ryan | Dec 5, 2007 1:22:55 AM

Since the elitist one seems to want to change campaign songs I have a few to offer. "the $itch is back" Elton John, "Another one bites the dust" Queen, Its a long way to the top. ACDC. "Wanted Dead or Alive" Bon Jovi. Dont forget to remember me, Carrie underwood Before he cheats, Carrie, Ramble on Led Zep. And my last 2 favorites Good as Gone, Little big town, and I fall to pieces Patsy Cline

Posted by: Jim | Dec 5, 2007 2:29:03 AM

I'm a true Democrat. I WILL NEVER VOTE FOR THIS WITCH....NEVER.

Posted by: Susan | Dec 5, 2007 2:58:17 AM

HOW ABOUT....?

"Springtime for Hitlery in Germany"...definitely a flop...!

Posted by: Enrique S. | Dec 5, 2007 3:15:26 AM

The best song for the Hillary campaign HAS to be "Everybody Loves Me Baby" by Don Mc Lean
