[CAPEbetterthanMV]

great. fucking. song. obama 2012.

[LaLaGrunge]

screw rush and obama. i just like this song.

[caveman123ization]

How all you guys can beat up on a guy for playing a song he likes on the radio is beyond me.

[deanlibertyoldtimeco]

prophetofthegoat show a little class.Vulgar and disgusting

[kingediii]

Rush Limbaugh is a great American you hippie!

[ProphetOfTheGoat]

when I saw "Rush" in the comments i thought people were talking about the band. after further reading i realized that people were talking about that turd-stain of a human, limbauuugh. please dont associate one of the greatest bands of all time with him, even if he does have the same fake first name as the band. and the pretenders deserve much better than to be his fucking background music, for that i am deeply saddened to have discovered. fuck the lawyers who allowed this to happen. figuratively

[spacejerkerdotcom]

@ProphetOfTheGoat Go suck a pimple covered dick, preferably your dead maggot father's.

[waislandres]

@ProphetOfTheGoat Thou think you protest too much, I smell a Rat !

[somuchtoseeanddo]

@ProphetOfTheGoat Interesting u were not aware of this music being associated w/ Rush Limbaugh, since it has been for pushing 25 years. U can spew ur vulgarity, but I bet u could not quote 1 thing from Limbaugh. He stands so much stronger for ur liberty to spit ur ignorate ugliness than any "progressive" ever will. Go ahead, & be ever more controlled by this destructive government. When we go bankrupt, u will likely be one of the first fools "protesting." Sheepish libs! GO RUSH Limbaugh!

[jaseins]

unless they re-released it, this song isn't on the greatest hits, which is why i'm here (i have the greatest hits).

[shawnorlando1]

Rush is a loudmouthed hypocrite .... the guy did so much cocaine i thought he had stomach bypass cause he lost so much weight....it was the coke not jenny , or ww ,and i should listen to him ...why what has he done .... nothing but complain .... heck i can do that ... heck anybody can ....nice job rush ...crissy rocks, u snort it !

[awlklear77]

....Thank You

[kaviar101]

How about we all just shut up and enjoy the song, huh?

[kolanut2kankee]

Are the pretenders jus pretendin"? I remember when Rush cried when he couldn't get in the weathermen. Far, far left to off the edge (right). Right? Reefer is better than over the counter. REMEMBER!

[Mastophales]

@NSNorfolk you can say thanks to GREEDY FRKN UNIONS !!!

[averageb1]

Still hot.

[CityLoch]

my city is gone tooo.....most churches per capita in the US....turned into secular world b/c of the dot com boom...SF, CA...still a couple catholics left

[tsartodd]

self-styled PatriotConservative proves that if since Teatards can't convince normal people with logic or dazzle them with brilliance, drown them out with repetitive simplistic bullshit.

[kaviar101]

@tsartodd I take it English isn't your first language.

[tsartodd]

@kaviar101 it is my first language and i speak it fluently. if you didn't understand what i wrote, it's because i don't speak moron. which may be why i don't understand what Fatso Limpblob says or his appeal, either.

[kaviar101]

@tsartodd Ok, it makes sense now, you're 14.

[tsartodd]

[twog83]

@PatriotConservative1 I think I speak for most people here who came here to listen to the Pretenders when I say GO F**K YOURSELF. No one wants to hear the delusional self opinions of a hate mongering drug addicted waste of humanity like Limbaugh!

[utahnole]

@twog83 Looks like Twog 83 I.Q. has a little hate issue. Rush took a good song and made it his radio show intro. Now, due to his unparalleled popularity and success, people hear the song and think of Rush before they think of The Pretenders. Truth hurts.

[bighitter42]

@twog83 Not a fan of Rush, but it's worth pointing out that fortunately for you, you don't "hear" opinions on this video. In fact you don't even have to look at them to enjoy it. Grow some self control.

And "hate mongering?" Really? America is becoming a eunuch....

Rush Limbaugh is the St.Peter of Conservatism

[raccoonradio2]

Hynde's vegan restaurant in her hometown of Akron went out of business--as she readily admits due to the economy. How's that hope and change workin' out for you? (Hynde at a concert during Bush years: "Are we at war yet? Bring it on, I hope the Muslims win! Down with the economic s--- this country represents!") Way to go Ohio! (No word if her food tasted more rubbery than Goodyear or Firestone products...)

[benttoolip]

@raccoonradio2 the food was delicious.

[stregadisalem]

too bad Rush Limbaugh crapped conservative turds all over this song.. I don't listen to the radio so that some bigot with an addiction to prescription drugs can feed me b-s. I listen to the radio to listen to decent music. And that's why I'm here, for the MUSIC, for this particular Pretenders song.(ducking for cover waiting for the darts of attack to be thrown)

[bighitter42]

@stregadisalem How does someone using a song interfere with your ability to enjoy it? Grow up.

It's mildly ironic and funny...you talking about bigots, and then using the phrase "conservative turds." Was it on purpose? :)

[PoeJoe8]

@stregadisalem Lol! This is so typical of lefties, you make a post calling people names, degrading anyone who doesn't agree with you and then make a statement about "darts of attack" to be thrown? lol...poor baby!

[70goldtop]

@stregadisalem If you were here for the music you'd keep your gay mouth shut

[heidiberg19]

SHIT REMASTER>  They ALWAYS blow it.

[sportstuber11]

I'm here because of the brilliant Rush Limbaugh.. The Dr. of democracy!!

[NSNorfolk]

From the perspective of one who grew up just outside of Cleveland and watched the city simply melt away under the influence of vote buying politicians and the unions, the wording in this song is certainly appropriate. The Lorain Steel Mills are gone, Ford Plant, gone, US Steel in the bottom, gone, Fruehauf in Avon Lake, gone. National Tube, gone. The ore docks, closed. Where'd they go? China, Indonesia, India. Why? High cost of doing business and over the top regulation. Crap, that sucks.

[LeeTheProducer]

Here I am, El LeeTheProducer, listening to this song on the golden computer, having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have...

I just basically reenacted an hour of Rush's show.

[funkyfreshkid08]

AKRON, OHIOI!!

[kewe65]

"Rush Limbaugh's use of this song is epic". What you really mean is that The Pretender's suckering of Rush into becoming a royalty cash cow was epic.

[MrAirborne75]

Who cares about rush limbaugh. This is supposed to be about the PRETENDERS music!

[PatriotConservative1]

@MrAirborne75 Hate to break it to you but Rush Limbaugh is way more important than "The Pretenders". Most people would never of heard of them if this song wasnt Rush Limbaugh's Theme song!!

[MrAirborne75]

@PatriotConservative1 Really? You sure about that? I myself heard of the pretenders long before I ever heard of rush. The pretenders did not and don't need anyone to make their songs famous. They did that themselves. Anyone who thinks or says different is dillusional.

[alteal]

The beautiful singing lady of The Pretenders, Chrissie Hynde, has said that she does not object to Rush using her song on his radio show.

She actually makes a little more money every time her songs are played on the radio.

[spacepatrolman]

@alteal He was initialy in trouble for copyright infringement he had to pay his way out of that one

[kmvoss]

I have to admit I am perturbed that this song was allowed to be played on that vile human's radio show.

[cabmaker66]

@kmvoss

...so IF you disagree with a person's politics..that makes THEM vile ???

[kmvoss]

@cabmaker66 No, it doesn't. Why would you assert such a thing?

[cabmaker66]

@kmvoss

you previously stated "that vile human's radio show"... I wasn't aware of any vile acts on his part... but i guess THAT depends on one's definition of "vile" ???

[brendanlenobel]

admittedly, youtube isn't the best place to discuss such things... i would like to know the impact that the new healthcare system has upon debt at all levels. Admittedly, the program will increase federal debt levels, but if it is countered by decreased stress on state, municipal, corporate, and personal debt levels by reducing overall system ineffeciencies through vertical integration.. then it seems like a good idea... sounds like it is far different from the system we use in canada though

[Concepcion8able]

Good sound..And she was a fine looking Woman too..*

[MrAVGTIGER]

Wish you were from Cali girl! The cities in Cali will never be gone!

Great song!!! Ohio's theme song! Go Ohio St!!!!

[VanHalenFan08]

Rush Limbaugh is amazing!!! Those liberal goons hate him, thats why we love him!!!!!!!

[dflat0821]

rush is a drug addict blabber dithiring idiot self centered moron

[perlewitzaudio]

@dflat0821 How is he self centered smart one?

[bdressman1]

IM HEAR BECAUSE OF CD 101... I LIVE IN CBUS , LOOKING AT THE OLDER POST AND I DIDNT NO THIS WAS A POLITICAL DEBATE CHATROOM,, ANYWAYS GOOD SONG

[EstreetToTheDeath]

I'm not a political individual and the sound of politics gives me explosive gas when mentioned. But for any politician including the Dirty Laundry Windbags who would end up like Ralph Nader after every election, I wish them luck in expressing their OPINIONS about a nation and a world that really doesn't GIIIVVVE A SHITTTT!!! get a life people or throw yourselves down a flight of concrete stairs, because...Believe it or not most people don't know your ideas and the others don't care. Good Night.

[EstreetToTheDeath]

Stop talking about Rush. It's like going to Alabama and saying their theme song is from a band that existed 200 years after it's statehood. Rush is a skidmark on the underpants of Ohio, not to mention The Pretenders.

[sharonheretic]

I love that all these people came here because of Rush. Face it libshits, your girl Chrissie took the weevil capitalist money Rush offered and ran. So much for conviction, eh?

[brendanlenobel]

@sharonheretic Just so you know.. she only agreed to allow him to use the song once he donated the royalties to peta... so ... sorry i had to "shit" on your message... and he began using the song with out her permission... wait..wouldn't that be a violation of property rights? aww... fantastic conviction...

[SuzukiRider420]

The reason God invented radio........Welcome to the Rush Limbaugh institute of advanced conservative study

[Gronad]

@SuzukiRider420 . . . With Talent on loan from GODDDDD !!!!!

[10041960]

By no means am I a Limbaugh fan,but if Chrissie Hynde and the Pretenders didn't give Limbaugh exclusive rights to this song,then it wouldn't be his theme song...Ha! Hynde is either a sell out or a hypocrite.... or Both!

[caveman123ization]

Thumbs up if Rush brought you here.

[jeax30]

Broadcasting from high atop the WABC broadcast center, overlooking Madison Square Garden in midtown Manhattan, this is New York City's most listened-to talk radio host: Rush Limbaugh!

[irondragsportster]

Chrissie is in London with Ray Davies....No income, no income taxes!!!

[BeefyRalph]

Chrissie Hynde would put a foot into Limbaugh's nads if they were ever in the same room. Chrissie tells the truth, Rush is a self serving liar.

[kingjamization]

i went back to detroit and my family was arrested with quami killpatrick

[urah2525]

@sonic1f15

YES I AM - Limbaugh is the 21st Century Will Rodgers:

1. Enjoy Him , OR

2. Reject Him

That is all. Dr. Shalit

I went back to METUCHEN and my Boro was gone...

[urah2525]

Rush should be using THIS Version - if he is not already.

[Paulodactyl]

Screw the politics, this came from the UK, and Chrissy is still amazing.

[intscout4x4]

THANK YOU FOR PUTTING THIS ON...ive been looking for it for awhile now.

[applby2]

Rush Limbaugh is awful. The song is epic.

[autumnlordsrock]

she is sayin ohio sucks!!! they ruined her town!!!its all gone!!! rush is a moron who gets rich by yanking peoples chain,and spreading mis-information. chrissy wants to enlighten you,rush wants blind followers. he doesnt deserve to use this song!

[kingjamization]

just as awsome as Rush limbaugh himself

[toucansam3]

The only good part of Rush's show is this song, I change the station when he starts talking.

[unsplintered]

me def, not a limbaugh fan, he is not in the know of all the truth, 

[aBerlin1945]

Rush Limbaugh's use of this song is epic.

[pjs2005rdking]

@aBerlin1945 rush is a dick head!!!!!!

[perlewitzaudio]

@pjs2005rdking Please explain why you would say this? This is the problem with liberals and brainwashed people like you, they just bash all of the republicans and conservatives without any explanation! If you would listen to Rush Limbaugh, you could really learn something, but you probably never have listened to a whole show, so you just be ignorant just like any other liberal, and call inappropriate names the just show how rude, and foolish people like you are! Think before you say!

[pjs2005rdking]

@perlewitzaudio I say that because he spews a lot of crap. He put's down people who do drug's , when he is hooked on oxyconton.Did he bash Bush as bad as Obama? I don't think so, and I bet you think bush did a good job as president! He has agenda's , like brain washing simple people like you.This site isn't the the place to argue about him,I just don't like the fact that he is tied to such a great song/band.The only good thing about it is that he pay's to a charity to use the song.

[perlewitzaudio]

@pjs2005rdking That's what a lot of people say about him. And I never said that Bush did a good job at president because he really didn't do a good job. But all that Obama has done is increased our debt even more with these failing healthcare and stimulus bills. And you think Bush had agenda's? Take a look at Obama!! And I am NOT brainwashed because I pay attention to not only the news, but I listen to all political talk shows out there whether it's liberal or conservative.

[perlewitzaudio]

@pjs2005rdking I'm not a dummy like all other's that just take whatever they hear and make conclusions without actually looking into it. I take time to study. And I'm NOT saying that you are dumb, because you probably study too. I'm not mad at you or trying to make enemies, I find it interesting about what people from each side has to say. But no more arguing, because I'd rather listen to this awesome song! :)

[dflat0821]

@aBerlin1945 rush is a drug addict

[perlewitzaudio]

@dflat0821 and...

[lululapeache]

@aBerlin1945 - Why is it "epic" to pay a weak willed, money grubbing vegetarian to pervert the original message of a song to further a crass political agenda? 

[KAUISTAY1]

reduce to parking

[sonic1f15]

LOVE this song. The fact that Rush (Mr. Negativity) Limbaugh uses this for his show makes me gag.

[stevenhonse]

@sonic1f15 Take heart, I am a Rush Limbaugh fan that has also become a Pretenders fan. I would have never learned how great this music is without Rush. This music is stunning, crystal clear, and insightful. It makes me think and makes me feel. Does it really make you gag to know that the Pretenders have been exposed to tens of millions of people, most of whom would have otherwise never had a chance to hear this epic song?

[uschdog]

@sonic1f15 Do you know that her parents are big fans of Rush?

[ricelake30]

yup back to Ohio.................

[19chucki74]

And this has been the theme for 'The Rush Limbaugh Show' for over 20 years. The guitars really stand out, and the bass keeps the tempo very well.

[tnmbrown]

Also love the drum echoes!

[ChessieSeaboardX]

Love the bass line in this song!!!

[fullbritches]

o-haeyyyooo

[Chuck65201]

Best mix so far I have found on YouTube!
