Wrigley 1, Bu$hleaguer into Can't Deny Me

I think that would be fantastic!  (Even though I assume they are not dusting off BL anytime soon)

    I support anything that gets them to play Bushleaguer.

    Why would they ever play Bushleaguer at this point? George W. Bush is a gentleman and a scholar compared to Trump.

    Yeah, but in Trump's case it's "born on the green, thinks he got an eagle".
    It's a hopeless situation...

    You're giving him too much credit.   Everyone knows Trump wasn't born, he was grown in a laboratory in 1946 by Josef Mengele.

    Or as Seth Meyers said, "Born on third, thinks he got a touchdown."

    I'm happy to see that judging by your username, I'm not the only one that misheard that lyric in "Rats." I figured, "Hey, they're basketball fans."

    I think Bu$hleaguer is too out of date to be played, but it would be cool if they used the song and just completely changed the lyrics to work for Trump.

    Sadly I doubt they would do such a thing. I can't see them wanting to make any of the ballpark shows controversial because none of them are political shows. Missoula was their chance for this, and they did manage to create a ton of controversy, lol, but I really don't think they want to carry that into Wrigley with them. EV may or may not say something political, but if he does, I think he'll be back to his "I don't want to be too political so I'll say something kind of political that's still basically neutral or at least just about everyone getting along" mode, like he's mostly been doing for years now.

    Yep!  Thought that is what he sung for the longest time. I still hold on to thinking that Ed’s intonation was  intentional.

    Have they played the entire Riot Act album yet? If not, that’d work perfectly.

    I don't know if it will ever show up in set again because the lyrics to Bu$leaguer are about specifically Bush and even the title is a pun on his name

    When Can't Deny Me came out though I always looked at that as their Trump version of Bu$hleaguer

    How does he do it? How do they do it? Uncanny and immutable
    This is such a happening tailpipe of a party
    Like sugar, the guests are so refined, (look like melting mice)
    A confidence man, but why so beleaguered?
    He's not a leader, he's a Yankee Leaguer
    Swinging for the hole, got lucky
    on the tee
    Drilling for fear, makes the job simple
    Born on the green, thinks he's an Eagle.

    [Chorus]
    Blackout weaves its way through the cities [x2]
    Blackout weaves its way
    I remember when you sang
    That song about today
    Now it's tomorrow and
    Everything has changed

    [Verse 2]
    A think tank of aloof multiplication
    A Russian wish and a Vodka decanter
    Retrenchment and hoggishness
    The aristocrat choir sings
    "What's the Stormy ruckus?"
    The haves have not accrued
    The immenseness of suffering
    And the odd negotiation, a rarity
    With onionskin plausibility of life
    And a keyboard reaffirmation

    Bump just for grins. 

    Agreeing with the folks that the band would more than likely not run BL but I love the altered lyrics and suggestions!

    Pretty sure this isn't happening but had fun with the idea.  Grass is mowed so it's time to make my way to Wrigley from the burbs!
    To those going, have a good time tonight!

    You'd really only have to change one word (Texas?) ... and even then, I'd leave it as is. The song is specifically about Bush, but it's generally about people like Bush ... and Trump is like the caricature of that caricature. It would be applicable, if they felt like playing it.
