File under: "The KKK Took My Baby Away":
Linda Ramone, widow of the seminal punk guitarist Johnny Ramone, visited a McCain phone bank in Nevada with Meghan McCain and Sarah Palin’s brother Chuck Heath. Maybe she was negotiating the use of this song for the GOP candidate’s rally:
Twenty-twenty-twenty-four hours to go
I wanna be sedated
Nothing to do, no where to go-o,
I wanna be sedated
Just get me to the airport, put me on a plane
Hurry hurry hurry, before I go insane
I can’t control my fingers, I can’t control my brain
Oh no oh oh oh oh
Just put me in a wheelchair, get me to the show
Hurry hurry hurry, before I go loco
I can’t control my fingers, I can’t control my toes
Oh no oh oh oh oh
Just put me in a wheelchair, get me on a plane
Hurry hurry hurry, before I go insane
I can’t control my fingers, I can’t control my brain
Oh no oh oh oh oh
Chorus:
Ba-ba-baba, baba-ba-baba, I wanna be sedated
Ba-ba-baba, baba-ba-baba, I wanna be sedated
Ba-ba-baba, baba-ba-baba, I wanna be sedated
Ba-ba-baba, baba-ba-baba, I wanna be sedated

Why paraphrase when you can have the original?
Well I recall when Meghan posted this Ramone’s song on her Blogette site
“[My] Brain Was Hanging Upside Down”
AKA “Bonzo Goes To Bitburg”
Ooops! Clueless Meghan had no clue that Bonzo was Ronald Reagan! Despite the fact that the cover of the single was pretty obvious. How can a “real” fan not know this? She’s a faux punk…and probably listened to Britney Spears or the Backstreet Boys until her friends told her that it was “uncool”.
