Original Pokemon Theme Singer Remixes The Song For Ron Paul

Jason Paige sang the original theme song for the Pokemon TV show in 1998, and now he's back singing the same song with new lyrics about Ron Paul.

Paige says that, "almost all the original lyrics fit as is," which may be a bit of a stretch, because I'm not sure if Ron Paul is interested in training them all (all being his constituents, I guess). In any case, video games and Ron Paul seem to be having more and more in common than I'm assuming Mr. Paul probably realizes.

well, the lyrics really aren't that great haha. It was a good effort though. He should do a song for George W :P

God, stop ruining my childhood. Just leave the *** politics and idolizing out of it, ok?

It might be worse than that stupid Tim Tebow's fire crap.

Just stop.

Man, if Ron Paul has caught all 649 Pokemon...we're screwed.

Wow. Just wow..

Please keep my video games and politicians separate.It's bad enough Obama advertised his political campaign in video games.I just hope this is as far as it goes.

Not a rant,Ok maybe it is a little(and yes I know a supporter did this).
by shmahadle Sunday, May 06, 2012 at 07:20 PM

No.

Video games and politics combine when discussing the debates about government regulation of video games based on content (which Paul is against) and net neutrality (also against). So it makes sense that he would be prevalent in video game news. Though this is not the place for political discussion, I found this to be entertaining and, at the beginning, informative.

Love Pokemon. Love the original them song. Love this remix/whatever you want to call it? Not so much.
