Isn't the song called "Raisin' McCain" a poor choice?

Question

John Rich (I've never heard of him either), recently wrote a theme song for John McCain called "Raisin McCain". I assume it's supposed to be like "raising cane", it sort of works but that seems like a stretch.

"we're all just raisin' mccain" is a line in the song, and it just sounds like we're all just bringing him up. I've got my own kids to raise!

isn't this just a lazily written song?

mccain is 72, so i don't know if i would want any song that sounds like mccain is a raisin. he reminds me of a California Raisin already, even before I heard this terrible song.

what do you think of this song? Does the theme of the song work?

Answer 1

It makes good fodder for the stand up comics.

I can hear Jay Leno now.

"Does he really want to use the word "raisin" next two his name?  Does he not think people have noticed his wrinkles yet?"

(Ok, I'm certain he would write a bettter joke than that.)
