Nixon Back From the Dead

[Peter]

Not Richard Nixon, and not really back from the dead, but his grandson is running for Congress in Long Island.

Key quote: "I've honestly only seen upside at this point. Wherever we go people say that my grandfather was their favorite president."

...sure thing, buddy....

Also read to the end where Richard Nixon basically sings Tubthumping for us.

New plan: we need to record Mike reciting Chumbawamba lyrics using his Nixon voice.

[Peter]

You know they did the soundtrack for Frost/Nixon, right?

[Mike]

Chumbawumba is Hans Zimmer's side project.

You're never going to keep him down...

[Mike]

Sure you can, just tell him he can't write music in 3/4.

Actually I think Sherlock Holmes' score was in 6/8 or 4/4... I can't remember. All I know is that it was awesome and it wasn't like everything else he's ever done.

What is the Chambawamba voice? and how can it be adapted to Nixon's voice? I would love to hear that.
