Click 'Watch Video' to see the ad June 20, 2007 -- WASHINGTON - Hillary Rodham Clinton never looked so tough as boss of the family. The New York senator and Democratic White House front-runner yesterday unveiled her much-anticipated campaign theme song with an uproarious Web spoof of The Sopranos final scene, with Bill Clinton cast in the supporting role of doting spouse. Swiped from controversial final moments of The Sopranos : The diner booth, Journey s Don t Stop Believin blaring over the speakers, a nearby table of Boy Scouts, black teenagers, a menacing-looking man at the counter and a daughter outside parallel parking.
As is the dramatic cut-to-black when the former first lady drops a fresh quarter in the jukebox to reveal her new campaign song - Celine Dion s You and I. The Sopranos spoof comes after a month-long campaign drive to have supporters vote online to pick Clinton s theme song, an effort that drove more than 1 million potential voters to her Web site. Like Tony Soprano, Hillary Clinton settles into a back booth - facing the door - as she flips through the jukebox selections in a diner in Mount Kisco, near her home in Chappaqua.
While Tony selected the Journey song, the tune is already playing when Clinton begins flipping through - and the songs she peruses were culled from the 10 announced finalists in the campaign theme song sweepstakes. The door opens and, like Tony, Hillary s head snaps up to see her ex-president husband, wearing a Soprano-style short-sleeved, button-down shirt, stroll in the door. As he takes a seat, Hillary invokes Tony Soprano when she announces, I ordered these for the table, as a server delivers a basket of carrot sticks to the table.
No onion rings? the former president asks forlornly. I m looking out for you, she responds.
As the former president takes a bite of a carrot, the camera cuts to the man at the counter. Vincent Curatola, who played New York mob boss Johnny Sack Sacramoni in the series, glares back at them.
