Dean's a Believer:

From Marni Soupcoff, who is a bit skeptical about Howard Dean’s sudden profession of religious faith:

Dean’s a Believer

(Sung to the tune of the Monkees’ I’m a Believer)

I thought God was
Only true for Republicans
Meant for some white trash
But not for me
God was just so kitschy
That’s the way it seemed
Wind-powered energy
Was more for me

And then I saw the polls
Now I’m a believer
Not a trace
Of doubt in my mind
I’m pi-ous
I’m a believer
I couldn’t leave God
If I tried

I thought God was
More or less for low-class dupes
But the less I prayed the worse
I polled, oh yeah
What’s the harm in claiming
Jesus is my guy
Southern votes got me kneeling
That’s no lie

And then I saw the polls
Now I’m a believer
Not a trace
Of doubt in my mind
I’m pi-ous
I’m a believer
I couldn’t leave God
If I tried

God was just so tacky
That’s the way it seemed
Organic pilafs

Were more for me

And then I saw the polls
Now I’m a believer
Not a trace
Of doubt in my mind
I’m pi-ous
I’m a believer
I couldn’t leave God
If I tried

Then I saw the polls
Now I’m a believer
Not a trace
Of doubt in my mind
Now I’m a believer
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I’m a believer
I’m a believer
I’m a believer

And if you love dogs, I’m a retriever

And if you’re a football fan, I’m a receiver

And if you’re into wool, I’m a weaver
