Presidential campaigns and country dancing aside, 72 year old John Mccain is undoubtedly most loved for his unique singing voice and enjoyably unorthodox song writing abilities. Excitement rippled across America therefore upon the news last week that Mccain is taking some time out from his busy schedule to record his 18th studio album, entitled “John Mccain – Home Again”. The news came as a very welcome surprise to music fans throughout the world, many of whom believed that due to the ageing Mccain’s political ambitions, his sensational falsetto voice would be on permanent hiatus.
Rumours first emerged of Mccain’s return to the studio at the Democratic Party Conference last month. Mccain was understood to be disturbed by remarks made by his presidential rival Barack Obama, about his previous 1998 release “Mccain u believe it”. Obama was overheard ridiculing the experimental garage album, apparently describing it as "likeable to a fiendish chipmunk's giggle" and "a squeaky disaster”
Determined to win back any credibility he may have lost from this mockery, Mccain reportedly set to work on the long awaited follow up, and wasted no time in recruiting Cannon and Ball to produce the project. Rap superstar Jay Z has also recorded a duet with Mccain entitled “99 houses (owned by me)”, which is reportedly to be the first single. Any hope of a duet with campaign partner Sarah Palin however was dashed upon the realisation that Palin believes music to be the “Spawn of Satan”. Her singing voice, according to the inhabitants of Alaska, was also described as sounding like “the squawk of a drunken puffin”
Fans of Mccain’s music, such as Magnum P.I. actor Tom Selleck, are struggling to hide their excitement over the news of the forthcoming album. Selleck commented to all who’d listen that
“A new dawn has broken and given the world hope. From it, a voice so high, so clear, so awe inspiring; a voice that tells us we have nothing to be afraid of, no reason to fear, no need for bass. Plus Jay Z’s on it, who’s quite good I’m told”
Producer Bobby Ball added “It’s good to see John Mccain back to doing what he does best, Cannon and I were honoured when he asked us to produce.” Asked if there were any zany surprises on the album in store courtesy of the hilarious pair, Ball responded “Could be! It may be Mccain’s project, but it wouldn’t be fair to rob his listeners of some humorous quips between squeaks”
