Adwatch: I Like Joe (For Congress)

Okay, today’s Adwatch wasn’t on TV and isn’t an official campaign ad, but I don’t care. It’s a minute-long ad with a bouncing ball — so you can follow the words! — about how Curt Weldon needs to go, with a little bit of Joe Sestak praise thrown in at the end. And it’s done by former members of the Squirrel Nut Zippers.

Because if there’s one group I want to tell me who to vote for, it’s the Squirrel Nut Zippers. (Perhaps their next hit can be, “If you vote for Bush… D and the A and the M and the N and the A and the T and the I-O-N.” Ho ho!) Follow me after the jump for the ad.

Okay, so it’s no I Like Ike (For President), but it’s certainly close to it. As I said, the music is from former members of the Squirrel Nut Zippers who are fed up and aren’t going to take it anymore! The music is from “Put A Lid On It,” a Zippers song, and the vocals are from Rickie Lee Jones. Kinda catchy, too.
