GOP Video: Dems On Saddam's WMD'sWho you gonna believe, them or your own lying Times? Subliminadabbubble Messages? Traffic Non-Santa points out the music playing in the clip is Traffic's Low Spark of High Heeled Boys, which, I guess, he supposes is some kind of gay joke. Not necessarily. The song's about whores. Male whores, gay whores, hustlers, yes. But whores first and foremost. I'd say the "hustler/whore" message is the intended one, not the "fruity fairyboy" one. 'Sides, a lot of hustlers aren't even actually gay. (Or so the movies tell me.) Same as a female prostitute isn't really all that in to having sex with you. If the RNC really wanted to push the gay thing, the song would have been Relax (Don't Do It) seguing into Duran Duran's Wild Boys, which, for my money, is even gayer than the Frankie Goes To Hollywood one. NRO acclaims Insty's knowledge of Traffic's songbook. Identifying their most famous song? C'mon. Reciting lyrics from the song proves something. Like this: The percentage you're paying is too high a price Or something pretty close to that. From memory. That second line looks a little off. If Instapundit really wants to show off his knowlege of Traffic, he can answer this question: Which Traffic album is Can't Find My Way Home on?

CommentsYou've gotta love Traffic's "Low Spark of High Heeled Boys" as soundtrack to the perfidy of todays Dems. Life is So Grand!! Posted by: Shivas Irons on November 16, 2005 12:44 AM
What is it with the GOP these days, anyhow? It's like they're competing with themselves, trying to get the longest most drawn out rope-a-dope strategy they possibly can. Is it like some weird contest? "Good one, Karl. But, I bet you can't go two years without responding. By that time, it'll be too late to undo the damage." / "Oh yeah? Just watch me." I think that Rove has been, in a manner of speaking, taking the party for a joyride. "Oh yeah, let's see how this baby handles!" Or maybe that's just the Val-U-Rite talkin'. Posted by: sandy burger on November 16, 2005 12:51 AM
The more important question is: Did Traffic ever use COWBELL? I can't believe a major political party's main talking point is 'we are too dumber than Bush'. Its like the Carter Presidency... but with a _whole_ lot more Carters. Posted by: Al on November 16, 2005 01:02 AM
Cant find my way home is from the Band "Blind Faith" in which winwood was lead singer. The band had Clapton and Baker and Grech in it also. God I am getting old. Posted by: bill on November 16, 2005 01:07 AM
"He's a moron, but he fooled all of us democrats!" doesn't say much about the democrats... Sounds like a declaration of fundamental unfitness for office to me. Posted by: Purple Avenger on November 16, 2005 01:09 AM
right, trick question. Posted by: ace on November 16, 2005 01:09 AM
"Can't Find My Way Home" isn't by Traffic. Blind Faith did that one. ;-) Posted by: Stillers on November 16, 2005 01:10 AM
I know, I know. It was meant as a trick question. Posted by: ace on November 16, 2005 01:11 AM
Same as a female prostitute isn't really all that in to having sex with you. Generally speaking, yes, but a female prostitute can still want to have sex with Ace...for free nonetheless. Just sayin'. Posted by: Feisty on November 16, 2005 01:21 AM
Isn't that the album with the, um, questionable cover on the import copy? I have that one. I have kids. It stays at the back of the bus. Posted by: Tom M on November 16, 2005 01:26 AM
That second line is: "while you're living beyond all your means" Posted by: Dan Wismar on November 16, 2005 02:44 AM
" Its like the Carter Presidency". Yes, Billy Carter Posted by: Master of None on November 16, 2005 02:51 AM
A better, more hip song for the lying/skeezer theme: Mellow Man Ace so I told the girl in Spanish I said hey ya me voy Isn't that cool? Y mañana es otra cosa. Today you say one thing and tomorrow you say another thing. Posted by: Bart on November 16, 2005 03:31 AM
Okay. I'm digging out my John Barlycorn Must Die CD. I love Ace of Spades sing alongs: Come down from your throne Posted by: on November 16, 2005 06:29 AM
I thought Mr. Fantasy was their most famous song. But then again, I'm only 26, so most of my knowledge of classic rock has been distilled through those Time Life CD collection commercials. Posted by: Mark V. on November 16, 2005 09:27 AM
Fuck all you geezers. I'm 25, and I know more about Winwood, Traffic, Blind Faith, The Spencer Davis Group, or any fucking '60s/'70s group for that matter that isn't named after a city, state, or municipality. DON'T FUCK WITH THE ROCK TRIVIA JESUS. Pray for me. Posted by: Jeff B. on November 16, 2005 09:49 AM
There are as many theories about the meaning of Low Sparks as there are Democratic senators whinging about intelligence failures. Not their own, amazingly enough. Posted by: tongueboy on November 16, 2005 10:07 AM

Spencer Davis Group They played at my high school. Scary but true. Not even in the auditorium but in the, gasp, gym. Posted by: on November 16, 2005 11:06 AM
I wonder, how long before we hear from Steve Winwood (or someone else from Traffic) speaking out for or against the Bush administration co-opting their signature tune? Do they even still hold the rights to the recording or does Island Records, or someone else? Posted by: Joshua on November 16, 2005 01:06 PM
Geez, it's Posted by: Uncle Jefe on November 16, 2005 02:12 PM
Whupps, looks like Lurker caught that earlier. Posted by: Uncle Jefe on November 16, 2005 02:18 PM
"To be honest, I completely spaced on that line, and just made up words with about the right number of syllables and with an approximate rhyme at the end." I've been doing that for years, on stage, with songs I wrote myself, no less. I blame the alcohol. And the drugs. And Bush, of course. Never, ever the fact that I'm just not very good. Much like today's Democrats, for example. Posted by: Mike on November 16, 2005 03:20 PM
Hey, Steve winwood did not authorize the GOP authorize use of this song. check the web site out. www.stevewinwood.com. GOP volated copy right laws. if that means anything to you guys since you are GOP and laws mean nothing to you. from the web site: 'Many fans recently have written about the use of “The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys” in a Republican National Committee video about opposition to the war in Iraq. Steve was not aware of the RNC's plan to use Traffic’s music nor did he authorize the song's use in any way. We are currently working to have the song removed from the video.. Post a comment

Atari to release former competitor Intellivision with 45 games for $149
I always thought Intellivision was kinda lame (to the extent a cutting edge videogame box can be lame). Intellivision insists upon itself. Pitfall was a really good game. I don't know if it was available on Intellivision. Update: It was. But I don't know if it's included in the new unit.

From Archimedes: Democrats are really now arguing that it's time to open the Big Tent to Nazis:
At Insty:Link to Ed Driscoll's post here Black Conservative Perspective says there's a "Woke Civil War" going on in the left over this Nazi, with Race Marxists -- mostly black -- absolutely determined to cancel him, while the straight-up Communists -- mostly white rich-bitch nepo babies -- are fighting like hell for him. As many have noted: Communists are always willing to make a tactical alliance with Nazis. (And, of course, Communists are just totalitarian socialists with an internationalist foreign policy, while Nazis are totalitarian socialists with a nationalist foreign policy. They're two anti-human peas in a pod.) The white communists are fighting hard for this guy because he is an open, avowed communist, and they think his completely-fake "normal blue-collar guy" persona can be used to do what they cannot do, sell communism to the working class.
