Obama Versus McCain: Battle Of The Bands
February 18, 2008
This is the story of...
Double Funk Crunch Versus The Mad Bavarian Brass Band
Recent finance reports from the candidates for President revealed that Barack Obama paid $1,700 for a band called Double Funk Crunch to play in California and John McCain paid $1,600 for a group called the Mad Bavarian Brass Band to play in New Hampshire.
Whether or not Obama and McCain face off in the general election, we can always have a Battle of Their Bands!
Barack Obama's Double Funk Crunch (aka DFC)
A nine-piece band out of San Francisco, California. They are self-described on their MySpace page as being, "Quite popular and successful... a high energy, fun party band." Their stated mission is "to bring quality, high-energy entertainment and a positive musical experience to everyone that hears them".
Pros:
- A jamming version of Cheryl Lynn's disco classic "Got To Be Real"
- Multi-Ethnic members
- Non-threatenng funk-lite sound appeals to seniors
Cons:
- Adult contemporary cover of Pink's "Get This Party Started" misses it's mark
- Glossy, slick, Las Vegas show biz image
John McCain's Mad Bavarian Brass Band
Like McCain himself, much about this band is shrouded in secrecy. From photographic evidence, they appear to be a 12-member ensemble. While their website only has two cryptic pages, we know that these Mad men specialize in German Marches, Waltzes, Polkas, Happy "Musik" and Picnics. Will they be able to March over their competition?
Pros:
- Rousing beer-hoisting German polkas
- Cheaper
- Matching uniforms
Cons:
- Can sound like music from a Leni Riefenstahl Hitler documentary
- No stop button for music on madbavarians.com
- German music could be more American
And The Winner Is...
John McCain's Mad Bavarian Brass Band
At $100 less than Obama's band, the Bavarians were a better fiscal choice. McCain's decision to use a German marching band at an American campaign rally was daring.
Presidential Candidate Mr Breakfast will continue to point out the foibles, goofs and bands of all the candidates (regardless of party) until they reveal a position on the importance of breakfast.

The loser is: John McCain... Have you ever heard the Mad Bavarians? They're awful... strictly an amateur group, and his money was wasted...

The Mad Bavarians are the premiere German Beer Band on the East Coast. I believe that selecting them was the height of McCain's 2007 campaign. Besides, funk bands went out with Parliament/Funkadelics in 1986.
Hinten Hoch!
