Here is former Democratic candidate and current Libertarian party candidate for president, ex-Sen. Mike Gravel, in his latest fun video. He is speaking the words of the Beatles' "Helter Skelter," which has been remixed into a Modern version, "Electro Skeletor." Other famous remixes of "Helter Skelter" include the Manson family.

Man, Nine Inch Nails be slippin'.
There's a part of me that deep down wants Gravel to be President, if only cause he'd probably turn snore-athons like the State of The Union address into a multimedia extravaganza filled with neon strobe lights and interpretive dancing.
My opinion of this obviously insane but nonetheless riveting whacko-crazy-batshit-performance-artist-cum-politician has, against my will and better judgment, just risen significantly. Does he take requests? Will he do "Sympathy for the Devil" if we ask really nicely?
Gravel/Icke '08
I thought April Fool's Day was yesterday.
Hey, Mike,
You say you got a real solution
Well, you know
We'd all love to see the plan...
But if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Paul
You ain't going to make it with anyone come this fall.
Next ad will be Gravel reading the works of Allen Ginsberg, music provided by Kronos Quartet.
@ Darehead:
Full credit.
If Mike Gravel is president you'll be able to smoke pot in church on Sunday.
It scares me that his policies are the most in line with my own beliefs.
I am the Gravel! I am the Gravel! Kookookachoo.
@Darehead: You win.
I was almost buying this right up to the point where he said "Hoo!"
I can't see LBJ getting re-elected once this gets out.
More pandering for Charles Manson's vote.
what....the crap?
Ladies and Gentlemen, the craziest motherfucker in the world...Mike Gravel. He reminds me of my psycho Uncle Jerry who constantly stands in front of the TV at Thanksgiving and says "Who keeps stealing my beer? I'm gonna fuckin' kill the next person that steals my beer!"
Uncle Jerry is from Alaska too.
Aw hell. Obama is my first choice but after that Gravel is a close second--what the hell else do I need to know about the man?
If it's good enough for "Squeaky" Fromme, it's good enough for me.
Rick flair called Mike he wants his Whoo's back.
@Rev. Peter Lemonjello: No kidding. I hear David Lunch is remaking 'Blue Velvet', but instead of an ear, Kyle MacLachlan finds Mike Gravel in that vacant lot.
Gravel is clearly both a lover AND a dancer. Alaska is a lucky, lucky state: A smokin' hot Guv and a Senator Emeritus who leads a killer Beatles cover band.
@FloraWay: Yeah, I may still vote for him; especially since California is almost certainly going to go blue.
I have no sound, but this video has propounded me into an existential crisis... WHAT ARE THESE PAULTARDS trying to do?
Now Gravel is the Libertarian Party's problem.
Maybe the second person on bottom of the slide is Ron Paul?
This video is what it looks like in my mind.
Wow I wish this guy was my uncle.
If Mike Gravel went through the Democrats, now he is in the Libertarian Party, and they will probably throw him out, and then he will choose some other party; He's doing exactly what he's saying in this song!
Amazing! I got to the bottom of Mike gravel's Helter Skelter and I didn't even need to play it backwards and faster!
Not sure how "a monthly check from the government to all citizens" reconciles with the core principles of the Libertarian Party.
But ... legalized weed, and free govt money every month? Pretty soon, everyone would all be smokin' the reefer, and sounding just like Mike.
It's the Audacity of Reefer Madness!
@Rev. Peter Lemonjello:
Actually, it will be Alan Ginsberg reading the works of Mike Gravel, music provided by the Clash.
Do the worm on the Acropolis.
