Trump's campaign co-opted the star’s song “Freedom” just days after accusing Harris of “copying” him.

Should have went with Radiohead Creep. They are such weirdos

[-] Rhaedas@fedia.io 21 points 2 years ago

If you go by the song's full lyrics, even that doesn't fit. The person at least is acknowledging (right or wrong) that they are not worthy or great for the other, and just wishes they could be good enough. There is nowhere near that much self-awareness with Trump and friends.

How Bizarre, by OMC?

I could see it in an attack ad. Black and white footage of Trump looking confused and tired - “what the hell am I doing here?”

"I want you to notice.... when I'm not around..."

Cut to Harris smiling and waving with some of her campaign goals on screen

"You're so very special... I wish I was special..."

Cut to Trump with his duck face pose, with various SA accusations, "grab them by the pussy" quotes, and 34 convictions.

"But I'm a creep... I'm a weirdo..."

Cut to Trump looking confused and tired.

"What the hell am I doing here?"

Cut to Trump standing awkwardly near previous presidents, or just a picture of presidents from both parties talking without him in it.

"I don't belong here..."

Cut to sad dejected Trump

"I don't... belong... here."

You leave radiohead out of your sick fantasies.

The lyrics fit, but Thom Yorke's delivery makes Trump way more sympathetic than he deserves, unfortunately.

[-] MinorLaceration@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

I would pay to watch that ad.

"...I don't belong here."

Don't give the fucking orange-cheeto nazi bastard any ideas. Unless he wants to play Electioneering, and then less than 1% of attendees would understand he's admitting to his grift, stay the fuck away from Radiohead.
