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.

Politics haven't ever been so epic.

That is the weirdest headline I've ever read. I thought it was surreal enough that Herman Cain was referencing the Pokemon movie at his campaign events, but this takes it that next step more crazy.

God, I love this song. Even when it's about Ron Paul, it's awesome.

Words cannot describe how amazing this is.

Pure Gold!

Yet another reason that I wish I could vote for Ron Paul...
by LilJOV Sunday, May 06, 2012 at 09:59 PM

Kyle, he has to catch all the votes, thus "Catch Them All".

This makes me feel scummy. GOP or Democrat; politics should stay far away from things as awesome as the Pokemon theme song.

Also, "Ron Paul: Gotta Catch'Em All!" doesn't really make sense to me. I suppose they're talking about delegates, but....it's really only applicable if he's trying to catch all 500+ Pokemon. I cannot make the mental shift here. :)

This is going to be on the Daily Show.. it is certain.

rons not going to win people v.v sigh god why
by ZimmerRemmiz Sunday, May 06, 2012 at 10:37 PM

That is just amazing, I literally love this, also now I am seriously going to be voting for Ron Paul...

What's with politics and Pokemon?
by Troutfisch Sunday, May 06, 2012 at 11:13 PM

This is awesome, first Herman Cain and now Ron Paul?

POLITIC-MON!
by GeneralChurch Sunday, May 06, 2012 at 11:15 PM

still a moron...
by Sean Grant Sunday, May 06, 2012 at 11:22 PM

I don't think "I'll teach you" should be included in a song about a hardcore Libertarian....
by Randomdivinedragon Sunday, May 06, 2012 at 11:29 PM

wow... just... wow
by Brandon Allen Sunday, May 06, 2012 at 11:32 PM

Well, it's awesome/hilarious and all, but reading the comments kinda makes me sad. I mean, Paul is crazy. Not Santorum or Perry crazy, but still pretty crazy. And a majority of the movement behind him seems to based on the legalizing marijuana issue. That's it. To seriously consider voting for him at this point is a wasted vote, too. Just wish people would do some research about what they're voting for. Anyways, even if it's awesome, I don't think Pokemon mixes well with politics unless it's Herman Cain. He did it first, and on his own.

Originality is better off than Remix....
by xking595x Sunday, May 06, 2012 at 11:45 PM

so uhhh......how many people said "poke'mon" aloud every time the song was supposed to?
by awmace5 Sunday, May 06, 2012 at 11:49 PM

What an embarrassment.
