The sounds of the Legislature

Posted at 1:33 PM on May 18, 2007 by Tom Scheck

Governor Pawlenty started his radio show this morning with the song "We gotta get out of this place" by the Animals as a way to sum up his mood at the Capitol.

It wasn't the only music played this week. DFL Senate Majority Leader Larry Pogemiller was playing U2's "With or without you" last night when he wasn't sure if there were going to be any other budget negotiations that evening.

The Rolling Stones "Under my thumb" was also playing in the Senate Majority Leader's office.

Republican House Minority Leader says his theme song from last week was "What part of no don't you understand?"

What do you think the music should be as we head into the final week? How about Johnny Cash's "All over again" since they keep meeting nightly or "Negotiate with Love" by Rachel Stevens? How about "More Money, More Problems."?

UPDATE: Seifert says his latest theme song is "I will survive" by Gloria Gaynor
