Try the Transatlantic Sessions version of Stephen Foster's Hard Times Come Again No More. It's not just America that's getting moody, y'know...

I would go for PULP's music video COMMON PEOPLE.
William Shatner and Joe Jackson covered it live on Leno also.
COMMON PEOPLE is the new American Pie.

Little Snoop Dog & Air Force One.
Can't wait for the Inaugural Ball myself.
I have two requests:
Megadeth- "Foreclosure of a dream."
Megadeth- "Symphony of destruction."
Both are very fitting for the times we are going through. Thing is, these songs are more real NOW than when they were recorded in the early 1990's.

Either "The Future" by Leonard Cohen or
"I Hate Banks" by Mojo Nixon and Skid Roper. This one is rare and I don't normally do huge posts but I can't find a site with the lyrics all alone so here goes:
I Hate Banks
by Mojo Nixon and Skid Roper
I hate banks...
I just can't stand 'em.
Gimme a shovel & man I'll plant 'em.
Six feet under thats where they belong...
I hate banks is the name of this song.
I think I'll rob myself one or two...
Yeah I hate banks, yeah, how 'bout you?
Well...lend me a nickel & lend me a dime,
repossess my house any old time.
Financial institutions think they're so high faluting...
Just a bunch of fruits in three piece suits,
trying to steal all my loot.
Things are smelling pretty rank,
We must be near a stinking bank.
Smells worse than Rockefellars feet,
Wall Street can eat my meat.
Yeah throw the moneylenders out of the temple;
I hate banks its just that simple.
Royal Crown Palm Ade Tin,
is a the best thing to keep your money in.
Mason jar is okay too,
if you see a bank well you know what to do.
Now, lemme tell you people something...
The only banks I like, well, I like Ernie Banks alright.
And I like the banks of the Mississippi River...
Yeah, and I like banks of fender twin reverb...
Electric guitar amplifiers behind me, raging on the stages...
Well,when I walk in they treat me like a dog;
want to hit them in the head with a doo-doo log.
Republicans, one and all...
Their talleywhackers are mighty small.
Stealing from the poor gonna give to the rich...
Wanna make the bank president twitch in a ditch.
Yeah, see that teller with the blue hair,
giving me the evil-eye stare.
Won't cash my check don't like my ID...
got the security guard after me.
If I was E. F. Sloane,
I'd say the Dow Jones can suck my bone.
Yeah.
Everybody say the three magic words!
I want you to help me say the words!
I want you to repeat after me!
I HATE BANKS!
Can't stand 'em!
I HATE BANKS!
Don't Like 'em!
I HATE BANKS!
Bunch of Foo-Foo's!
I HATE BANKS!
Contrary like a big zit!
I hate banks...
I just can't stand 'em.
Gimme a shovel & man I'll plant 'em.
Six feet under thats where they belong...
I hate banks is the name of this song.
I think I'll rob myself one or two...
Yeah I hate banks, yeah, how 'bout you?
Now lemme tell you something...
I'm not real fond of the PHONE COMPANY either!
You know?
Yeah, and I don't like the cable TV company.
You know why I don't like the cable TV company?
Cause they just be sucking that stuff right out the sky!
THEY don't have to pay nuttin for it!
I just get me one of them bootleg cable boxes,
and get me one of them climb the pole and stick the thing in...
I ain't gonna pay for it!
NOOOOO!!!!"
These Are the Breaks - Kurtis Blow
There's a great my husband told me about- it's a song by Neil Young called "Ordinary People" dont know if there's a music video out yet, but here's part of the lyrics:
Two out of work fashion models and a fashion slave
Tried to dance away the Michelob night.
The bartender poured herself another drink while two drunks were watching the fight.
The champ went down like a light, fighting for the people
But his timing wasnt right
The high rolling people
Taking limos in the neon night
Las Vegas people
They came to see a Las Vegas fight
Fighting for the people.
There
There's a man in the window with a big cigar
Says everything's for sale
Yeah, the house and the boat and the railroad car
The owner's gotta go to jail
He acquired these things from a life of crime
Now he's selling them to make bail
He was ripping off the people
Selling guns to the underground
Living off the people
Skimming the top when there's no one around
Trying to help the people
Lose their ass for a piece of ground
Patch of ground people.....
man, you just can't make this sh*t up. from an online article:
" Citigroup Inc is looking at putting risky assets in a government-supported "bad bank" -- a step to reassure investors that the rest of its assets were safe, a person briefed on the matter said on Sunday.
The "bad bank" might take on $100 billion of Citigroup's assets, although that number is still being discussed. Citigroup might bear the initial losses on the assets, and the government might cover losses beyond a particular threshold, the person said."
i have an idea, why doesn't the government just make Citi the "bad bank" and dump all the toxic cr*p there?
The Tubes:"I want it all now"
Billy Joel's "Allentown"
Total No-Brainer.
"Down Payment Blues" AC/DC
"Hiding from the rent man!"
"No Shelter" by Rage Against the Machine
oh man, we are going back to the clinton years of slicing and dicing words and meanings.
A BO aide has now said that BO's economic plan will "save or create 2.5 million jobs".
Save? Well, i guess that is better than losing....
Well, we are now guaranteeing 300 Billion of Citi's assets.
Now, how about Citi addressing the remaining 700 billion that is off balance sheet?
Goin' Up The Country
Canned Heat
Fisherman's Blues
The Waterboys
My City Was Gone (OHIO)
The Pretenders
Ball and Chain
Janis Joplin

The Offspring
The Kids Aren't Alright
When we were young the future was so bright
The old neighborhood was so alive
And every kid on the whole damn street
Was gonna make it big and not be beat
Now the neighborhood's cracked and torn
The kids are grown up but their lives are worn
How can one little street
Swallow so many lives
"Back on the Chain Gang" is appropriate too i think - Pretenders. There are some absolutely great You tube videos of Chrissy Hynde singing this. Just substitute country for lover.
Thanks everyone for the interesting music. I had a good time tonight checking it all out.
"Union Sundown" by Bob Dylan
"Living in a box"
Great hits of the 80s. I don't know the artist.
Barry Manilow...that was a truly inspired pick.
Although it's too late...

I grew up with this song. Such a prophetic, ominous piece. Scary.

MINISTRY!!!!! (industrial metal)
This bands last album "The Last Sucker" features a drawing of Bush morphed into a reptile.
Rio Grande Blood album artwork is a drawing of Bush in a Oil Drum
Houses of the Mole even has a song called No W
Ministry has been on a anti bush bandwagon since their song from 1992 New World Order featuring Poppy Bush voice in the song
Also check out KMFDM's album WW111
and Skinny Puppy's Greater Wrong of the Right
I really like this thread.
Ring around the Rosy
Owning all of Dylan's albums up to and including Slow Train, I have to admit that my favorite song is 'Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands'.
It's an epic poem, and if you have 30 minutes to spare, give it a listen. Joan Baez's version is also nice.

As far as this thread, I'd nominate 2525 by Zager and Evans. My old 45 has long since died, but it said something like... 'we took all this old earth could give and we ein't put back nothing'.
That's depressing, isn't it?
