So, if you head over to John Tory's website, www.leadershipmatters.ca, you'll find a section called Take Action.
If you go there, you'll be given the opportunity to Pick Dalton McGuinty's Theme Song.
The leaders of the pack so far:
Would I Lie to You - The Eurythmics
Don't forget me when I'm gone - Glass Tiger
You Had Me, You Lost Me - Joss Stone
So far, the list proves one thing: Progressive Conservatives have really weird taste in music.
The whole thing seems weird.
One of the things John Tory seems to really have is dignity. Dalton has it too. They're both respectable people, and not dirty. I keep expecting this campaign to be clean, about issues, without many, if any, personal attacks.
This Pick Dalton's McGuinty's Theme Song thing just feels kind of immature and pointless.
It feels like something more fit for Stephen Harper's people, something like the Kyoto Dog Blog, or the whole notaleader.ca campaign.
Besides, I'm pretty sure this isn't a real contest to find the most voted-for songs. It is, like the entire Take Action area of the site, just a way to get your email address so they can put you on the mailing list and remind you repeatedly over the next couple of months that John Tory is a real leader, and Dalton McGuinty a liar.

Went over there and even dropped down my own song suggestion. Then took pity on the guy.
I've been contributing considerable chatter to McGuinty's YouTube sites.
My song suggestion?
Would work for John Tory too.
And Mississauga Council for that matter.

For Dalton’s Song I nominate, Muskrat Love by The Captain & Tennille; because it was filled with such supercilious unforgettable irritating noises coupled with insipid lyrics which in the end turned out to be of no consequence.
However if Dalton and John Tory were to collaborate and re-release Muskrat Love as a duet; I might learn to like it. I’m also the one who learned to like Crème de Menthe served with liver and onions.
My second nomination is, In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida by Iron Butterfly; because for a full seventeen minutes this ear splitting psychedelic drama builds you up and up and up and up to. . . . nothing.
Furthermore it is rumoured that the title, ‘In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida’ was really supposed to be
‘In the Garden of Eden’ but the band members were too drunk to pronounce it properly when asked what to call it.

Dalton’s Musical Repertoire Part II
How about Dalton’s song being, ‘Piltdown Man’ by Mike Oldfield. This was a track from the album Tubular Bells. It was in reference to a fourty year hoax perpetrated upon the anthropological community in 1912 and was only debunked in 1953. It is not that people didn’t know better at the time, they just wanted to believe, so they got sucked in
If none of the previously mentioned will do, or you are just looking for a longer concert going experience I suggest, Obscured by Clouds by Pink Floyd. No need to explain this selection is there?
