Jack and Dion

A cover of John Cougar Mellencamp's "Jack and Diane," with some alternate lyrics and clips from our friends in the TV media (who love parody and free speech, especially Strombo, who made up that wicked Dion/Harper video game smackdown). Huge thanks to GM for live performance and basement recording prowess. Walk on!

Lyrics:
Little ditty about Jack and Dion
Two Canadian kids talkin to Michaëlle Jean
Jackie's gonna be a cabinet star
Dion gonna help workers who make new cars

Sittin on the back bench with the Bloc and NDPs
Dion and Jackie got
Duceppe to say Oui.
Jackie say, Hey Dion, lets run off
Behind a shady tree
Take on those budget books
Fix the e-con-o-my.
And he say:

Chorus:
Oh yeah life goes on
Long after the chill of Harper is gone
Oh yeah life goes on
Long after the chill of Harper is gone they walk on

Jackie sits back reflects his thoughts for a moment
Scratches his head and thinks of a nation thats green
Well you know Dion we oughtta run this country
Dion says, baby you're really on to something.
Jackie say:

Oh yeah life goes on
Long after the chill of Harper is gone
Oh yeah life goes on
Long after the chill of Harper is gone they walk on

Gonna let it rock
Let it roll
Coalition come down
And save us all
Steves holdin on long as he can
Change is comin' round real soon
Get us working again.

Oh yeah life goes on
Though Iggy thinks Stéphane should be gone
Oh yeah life goes on
Long after the chill of Harper is gone they walk on

Little ditty about jack and Dion
It's time for the Tories to move on.
