Depending on where you stand, this is either the best piece of political performance art of the 2014 election or the worst. Or maybe it’s both. Supporters of embattled Mississippi state Sen. Chris McDaniel, who is challenging longtime incumbent Sen. Thad Cochran (R-Miss.) in the June primary, have composed this charming jingle, asking Cochran to “please come home.” These kinds of supporter-generated videos can often be tacky and amateurish, or woefully off-message. But this—this is art. Watch:
Lyrics below:
Won’t you come home Thad Cochran,
Won’t you come home,
You’ve been there way too long,
We sent you up there, to do what’s right,
But now you done us wrongRemember that crazy health care, that gun control,
You voted for was oh so wrong,
Well, it’s really a shame,
And you’re partly to blame,
Thad Cochran won’t you please come home.2nd Chorus
Won’t you come home Thad Cochran,
Won’t you come home,
Our party’s gone off track,
With Chris McDaniel, we’ve got a chance,
To bring our party back,So pack your suitcase, and grab your hat,
Then catch a ride and get here fast,
We know you did your best,
But it’s time for a rest,
We hope this term be your last!3rd Chorus
Won’t you come home Thad Cochran,
Won’t you come home,
You’re spending way too much,
You’ve raised the ceiling of debt so high,
This country can’t catch up…And your pork barrel, is filled so full,
I think that it just may bust!
Please hear our call, as we plead one and all,
Thad Cochran, won’t you please come home.
Note: Thad Cochran doesn’t wear a hat:
