So how would Cain update poet Walter Scott's and composer James Sanderson's classic refrain?

"It won't be hip hop," Cain said. But "I might put some gospel beats" into the song, he hinted.

Imagine the reactions from Republicans if Obama said he wanted to change the music to Hail To The Chief.

I imagine Republicans would appreciate if Hail to the Chief were not played for Obama at all.

This would be more appropriate to portray the Obama agenda:

Meh. Is this really a controversy? I think Herman Cain has a sense of humor.

Actually I think it's time for a electronic/trance version of "Hail to the Chief" imagine how that would sound.

I'd hire Kraftwerk to do it and Armand van Helden to remix it.

Something like this? Just change the lyrics around a little!
