Yesterday's Gone

Did anyone else notice the bumper music for Bill Clinton's speech tonight? I couldn't believe my ears. Why in the world would the Clinton's allow the lyrics Yesterday's gone, Yesterday's gone be playing while Mr. Clinton took the stage?
It was hilarious.
I am looking for a video.

If you wake up and dont want to smile,
If it takes just a little while,
Open your eyes and look at the day,
Youll see things in a different way.
Dont stop, thinking about tomorrow,
Dont stop, itll soon be here,
Itll be, better than before,
Yesterdays gone, yesterdays gone.
Why not think about times to come,
And not about the things that youve done,
If your life was bad to you,
Just think what tomorrow will do.
Dont stop, thinking about tomorrow,
Dont stop, itll soon be here,
Itll be, better than before,
Yesterdays gone, yesterdays gone.
All I want is to see you smile,If it takes just a little while,
I know you dont believe that its true,
I never meant any harm to you.
Dont stop, thinking about tomorrow,
Dont stop, itll soon be here,
Itll be, better than before,
Yesterdays gone, yesterdays gone.
Dont you look back,Dont you look back.

UPDATE.
I cannot find a video that starts with the bumper music, but here are a couple of comments from Rachel Lucas' blog

Nylecoj - that song was used at the 1992 convention, except it was looped for what seemed like an eternity. It’s the Clinton’s theme song. (Darn shame too - that’s actually a pretty catchy song.) It is ironic, though, that a song about forgetting the past is used to inspire people to remember the past.

I did not realize that it was their theme song, but I think they were not too swift to allow it to be played in this context. All I heard was a not so subliminal message of out with the bad old (Clinton’s) and in with the new. I think the DNC is tired of the Clinton’s. The Hill and Bill show will have a fight on their hands to stay ‘relevant’
The funniest thing about this is that is about the only two minutes I sawe of this thing. I didn’t hear his speech. I heard the song on my way out the door to go home from work.
Cosmo Says:
Nylecoj: Then there was the Michelle Obumper music, “Isn’t She Lovely” by Mr. Wonder. Stevie’s blind, but even he ought to be able to see through to the anti-American hatred fermenting in Michelle’s soul.

Indeed!

The song "Don't Stop" by Fleetwood Mac was used by Clinton's campaign, so apparently it serves as his theme song; that the part about yesterday being gone was playing when he made his entrance was just a delicious little morsel of serendipity...

Now I'm sorry I missed it. I was sort of "Dem'd out", so I put in a movie instead. Actually, I'm surprised I watched as much as I did of the DNC. "It took guts, I tells ya... real guts!"

(:D) Best regards...
