New tune for Rudy

Former Mayor Rudy Giuliani changed his opening tune to Van Halen's "Best of Both Worlds," which debuted on Thursday at a rally at the Embassy Suites in Boca Raton.

Giuliani used to make his entrance to a song from the 1993 movie Rudy, a sort of sweeping, regal song, said spokeswoman Maria Comella. This new one is a bit more hard core.

Giuliani started his speech off by asking about early voting: "How many people here have already voted?"

Nearly a third of the room raised their hands, some cheered and one man yelled, "Twice!"

To which Giuliani responded: "We're not Democrats here."

Despite his struggle in the polls, his event was packed with a few hundred South Floridians, who were quite animated in their support, often breaking into chants of, "Rudy, Rudy, Rudy."

His song can't be any worse than Hillary's. At least his is sung by an American citizen.
