When The Lady Smiles

Category: Music

she looks like a barracuda, frankly.

It’s been widely reported that Hillary Clinton has selected a new campaign song. which, if true, would have been a decidedly odd choice.

It’s called “When The Lady Smiles,” and it’s by the Dutch rock group Golden “Radar Love” Earring. What really raised eyebrows, though, was the video, in which a nun is raped and a dog is seen eating a dead man’s brains. Apparently MTV refused to play it, forcing a reshoot or at least big edits by the band.

Alas, it all appears to be a hoax, There’s no mention of it on her official website and a commenter in this BoingBoing thread points to that paragon of journalistic ethics, The Huffington Post, which seized on the fact that the song was played at one of Clinton’s campaign stops and made up the rest of it . So I’m guessing that Arianna is auditioning for the role of Obama’s new hatchetman.

A pity. Some of the lyrics seem quite appropriate:

My friends tell me, she’s the beast inside your paradise
I guess you’ve heard it all before
A fallen angel, that has got you hypnotised
and that always needs some more.
