With John McCain’s recent addition of Ogg the Caveman to his ticket as his 2008 vice presidential candidate, the elderly Viet Nam veteran has thrown down the gauntlet in trying to woo the younger voters to his campaign.
In a move reminiscent of Bill Clinton’s use of Fleetwood Mac’s tune “Don’t Stop” to motivate America, McCain has selected a song to stir the patriots among the twenty-somethings who have voter registration cards tucked in their wallets.
The silver-haired 71-year-old candidate has called upon writers to put a McCain twist on a hip-hop classic in order to introduce his VP running mate to the masses.
It’s not O.P.P. that will have the voters dancing into the booth, but an O.G.G. version of Naughty by Nature’s song from 1991.
Here are the revised lyrics and below them the song that sampled the Jackson Five in its original form.
O.G.G.
Votin’ army with harmony
McCain drop a load on ‘em
OGG, how can I explain it
I’ll take you frame by frame it
To have y’all debatin’ he’ll be right wingin’ it
O is for Other, G is for geezer minus Fred Thompson’s wrinkle
The last G…well…that’s not that simple
It’s on your voter card, the initials are written
It’s Huckabee we are dissin’ here
We dig on occassion at the other party
At a poll ‘n it seems I gotta start to explainin’
Spin it
You ever had a voter and met her on a nice hello
You get her name and number and then you feelin’ real mellow
You get home, wait a day, it’s exit poll info you wanna know about
Then you call up and it’s her accountant or Mitt Romney’s house
It’s not a front, F to the R to the O to the N to the T
It’s just Huckabee’s at her house (Boy, that’s what is scary)
It’s OGG, time other people’s vote, we get it
There’s no room for debatin it, there’s just room to elect it
How many pundits out there know just what I’m gettin’ at
Who thinks it’s wrong ‘cos I’m spittin’ and admittin’ at
Well if you do, that’s OGG and you’re not down with me
But if you don’t, here’s your membership in the terrorist community
Chorus:
McCain down with OGG (Yeah you know me) 3X
Who’s down with OGG (Every last GOP)
McCain down with OGG (Yeah you know me) 3X
Who’s down with OGG (All the GOP)
As for the ladies, OGG means something gifted
The first two letters are the same but the last is something
different
It’s the oldest, frozenest, dean — I call it the keenest
It’s a seven letter word rhymin’ with hammer and Alabamer
I won’t get into that, I’ll do it…via…caucus see.
I say the last G…hmmm…stands for Glamour.
Now lady here comes a promise, send a vote back to me, now tell me
exactly
Have you ever known a Repub who steps across the aisle
And you just had to stop and say Reagan never had that vice.
Voters looked at him, he looked at them and you knew right away
That McCain had someone who was gonna be his running mate this day
You could be seen with him and honestly you didn’t care
‘Cos in a room behind a door no one but y’all are there
When y’all are finished scheming‘, y’all can leave and only y’all would know
And then y’all could throw the dinosaur bones right in the closet yo’
Now don’t be shocked ‘cos if you’re down I want your hands up high
Say McCain-OGG (OGG) I like to say with pride
Now when you do it, do it well and make sure that it counts
You’re now down with a senior discount
Chorus:
McCain down with OGG (Yeah you know me) 3X
Who’s down with OGG (Every last GOP)
McCain down with OGG (Yeah you know me) 3X
Who’s down with OGG (All the GOP)
Super Tuesday I was without OGG see
I had a swing voter and she knew that matter-of-fact my opponent was slammin’ me
Had a fall out, disagreement, yeah an argument
I had to woo her so we went to Tennessee, caucus it, filibuster it
That was the thing, it must have been the way she hit the ceiling
‘Cos after that the delegates kept on coming ready for backroom dealings
I said, “Let’s go to the polls. The election is coming so you gotta punch a ballot”
She said, “Oh no, I’d love to but don‘t want to leave a hangin‘ chad.” I said, “Now voter please”
You gots to leave, come grab your coat, right now you gotta go
I said now look you to the stairs and to the polls
This was a thing, a little thing, you should vote your heart
‘Cos you know I’ve got OGG, hell it’s a brand new start
Come on, come on, now let me tell you what it’s all about
When you get down, you can’t go ’round runnin’ off at the mouth
That’s rule number one in this OGG establishment
You keep your mouth shut and it won’t get back to a voter on a whim
Exciting isn’t it, a special kinda business
Many of you will catch the same vibe from OGG. It’s older than Huckabee’s 6,000, but
he for sure is never going to admit it
When OGG comes, damn — skippy I’m with it
Chorus:
McCain down with OGG (Yeah you know me) 3X
Who’s down with OGG (Every last GOP)
McCain down with OGG (Yeah you know me) 3X
Who’s down with OGG (All the GOP)
Break it down!
Here’s the original version of the ditty.
McCain hopes a hip-hop OGG will help put Republican rival Mike Huckabee in his rearview mirror on the way to the GOP convention this summer.
