Yes, but Abraham Lincoln claimed he really like that song, so that really means --

-- aw, screw it! I got nothin'

malraux.bsky.social•125 days ago

was it the Elvis mashup version? Trump has a very specific playlist.

As Byron Donalds walked out, no? 🤢

They probably couldn't get the licencw for If The South Had Won The War

olemissrebel.bsky.social•125 days ago

lol, even the Ole Miss band doesn’t play Dixie bc of the racial implications

Playing "Dixie" in NYC is grounds for being stuffed into a locker and dumped in the Hudson by the 5th NY Zouaves

walteriv.bsky.social•125 days ago

They played it as Byron Donalds walked onto the stage and up to the mic. Because of course they did.

Old times there are not forgotten

It was walk on music for Byron Donalds, if memory serves.

sophiafhc.bsky.social•125 days ago

Played just before he walked out. There was a different song he walked out to.

sinclairlewis.bsky.social•125 days ago

Thanks. I knew it was for him, but having it be the walk off music is worse…if that’s a distinction one can make.

Played for Rep. Byron Donald's walkout! Whoever planned the music must have thought it was a "joke".

I only know the Tom Lehrer version.

Intentionally chosen for exactly that reason.

We sang that song at our 6th grade recital! I had a solo!

Mind you, this wasn't *all that* long ago either.

What grade are you in now?

pnxnotded.bsky.social•125 days ago

39th?

Sherman went too easy

kalilchernov.bsky.social•125 days ago

I read that it was right before Byron Donalds came on stage?

anagramdoe.bsky.social•125 days ago

they're confederates

At that event a week or so ago, that Trump turned into a weird sway-to-the-music party, they played Elvis’ rendition of “Dixie”.
