A Suggestion for the Republicans' Theme Song

Back in 1951,  a youthful crooner named Eddie Fisher topped the charts with a number known as   Turn Back the Hands of Time.    It was a lament for a time long gone.   Here's the refrain:
        
                  Turn back the hands of time
                  Roll back the sands of time
                  Bring back the dream divine
                  Let's live it over again

Sixty-four years later,  it's just as timely,  unhip vibes notwithstanding.   I can't imagine a more appropriate theme song for any and all events held on behalf of the Republican Party:  fund-raisers,  primary debates,  even next year's convention in Cleveland.   What could be more fitting in light of the Grand Old Party's retrograde priorities and values?

It's worth a listen.  Without further ado,  here's Eddie.    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1kp-yN7KeFQ
