Paul Ryan's new theme song: Rock 'N Roll Train. Really? Really?

Workout Paul Ryan meme: Runaway train, running right off the track. Buzzfeed notes that Paul Ryan's unofficial theme song, AC/DC's "Rock 'N Roll Train," seems a curious choice for him, given, um, the lyrics and stuff. (Mind you, it's not like the campaign has many possibilities to choose from, given how many times the Romney/Ryan camp has faced irritated artists demanding they stop using their songs. Past examples: Rage Against the Machine, Twisted Sister.)

Some partial lyrics from newest song Paul Ryan has adopted as his own:

One hot southern belle
Son of a devil
School boy's spelling bee
A school girl with a fantasy
One hard ring a bell
All screwed up
A ten for the revelry
Jamming up the agency
Shake it, Take it
Take it to the spot
You know
She make it really hot Yeah
Give it all, give it up
Come on give it what you got
You know she's just like it
What the hell any of this has to do with the urgent need to cut social programs is a mystery to me. I think Paul Ryan just doesn't understand the meaning of songs.
