Against "Our Country," Cont'd

From Cracked's list of "Five Songs That Don't Mean What You Think They Mean," #1 is America's least favorite beer commercial anthem:

While there's plenty of room for confusion in the lyrics, there is one thing most everyone can agree on. Those fucking Chevy commercials need to stop. Since approximately week three of the 2006 season, NFL fans nationwide have entered into each and every commercial break paralyzed by the fear that, at some point during the break in action, the words "The dream is still alive" will act as the harbinger that signals the beginning of the 30 least pleasurable seconds of their Sunday football watching experience. The least pleasurable, that is, until the whole experience is repeated 15 more times throughout the game. And the game after that.
My advice for Obama: don't let Johnny Cougar anywhere near Denver during the convention. Got it?

My nightmare is that he lets will.i.am re-mix "My Country" and turns a bad rock song into a bad rock song and a bad hip-hop song.
