Let Us Go Then, "You and I"

Over the past month, Hillary Clinton has been on the hunt for a campaign song, with her "exploratory committee" website inviting her followers to vote on a winner. Finalists included born-and-bred American bands like U2 and Shania Twain, as well as tried-and-true musical legends like Smash Mouth. This morning, however, the winner was announced. And Hilary Clinton's 2008 campaign song is...that Céline Dion song from that Air Canada commercial! It's such a good song it didn't even need to be on the ballot to win!

You can check out Hillary's announcement about the song if you want, but we advise against it—the song starts playing right away and there's absolutely no way to stop it, just as there is no way to get it out of your head once it gets in.

Barack, those of us with dual citizenships just added another plus to your column.

Cheers to Idolator for beating us to the punch so spectacularly.

Just for some totally unrelated and useless trivia for you aviation nerds, the music video for "You And I" was directed by Toronto-based photographer Andrew MacNaughtan and featured not only the brand-new (at the time) Terminal 1, but the swanky first Boeing 777 in Air Canada's fleet, which hadn't yet been put into service when the video was shot.

Anyway, carry on.

English major much, David?

Another proof! CELINE IS THE BEST!!!! :-)

Hillary is a neocon asswipe

The campaign song is great, the song was suggested by me and voted for by the public not Hillary herself.

Alas, that's a A340, not a 777. The 777's only arrived years later.
