Sounds like it could make a fine tune.

Say does that star spangled banner yet wave?

Has it been banned by the Aww thor O taze?

It’s the one song from the musical Les Miserables (”Lay Miz” to the Absolutely Fabulous ... kiss-kiss crowd) that people might walk out of the theater humming. The historical context for the Victor Hugo book was the Revolution of 1848 which moved Europe from a lingering 18th century hangover toward a preview of the 20th. So it’s a very clever theme for a campaign wanting to convey an image of overturning a sclerotic and deeply corrupt establishment. This goes over most peoples’ heads, but to the self identified intellectuals on the left and right it’s a hard cold slap in the face. Completely f#$@ing brilliant.
