Song you'll play when Bush loses in November

[Taverner]

When the returns come in and Bush gets sent packing back to Crawford, what are you going to play?

[fertilizeonarbusto]

1. How about

"Thank God and Greyhound You're Gone" by Roy Clark? ;-)

[ewagner]

3. Beat me to it!

on edit: I also like the idea of Linda Ronstadt dedicating You're no Good! to Dubya.

[NightTrain]

2. Actually, if I played "Your Good Thing (Is About To End)," it would be...

...the 1969 version by Lou Rawls. Whatever the case, I voted for "Hit The Road, Jack." :thumbsup:

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

4. "On Your Way Down" by Stabbing Westward

I hope I see you on your way down
I hope you break every bone
I hope it kills you on your way down
And I hope you die alone
All of your hate and all of your lies
Will it be worth it
When all of your friends refuse to be alibis
Will it be worth it

I'll see you on your way down
I'll see you on your way down
I'll see you on your way down

It's kind of sad to watch you break down
You greedy fuck you pissed it all away
So who will catch you on your way down
You've only got yourself to blame

When all your worst fears materialize
Will it be worth it
There's nobody left who cares you're alive
Was it worth it

I'll see you on your way down
I'll see you on your way down
I'll see you on your way down
Way down
Way down
I'll see you on your way down
I'll see you on your way down
I'll see you on your way down

5. "Here Comes The Sun"

By the Beatles.

Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
And I say it's all right
Little darlin' it's been a long cold lonely winter
Little darlin' it feels like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
And I say it's all right
Little darlin' the smiles returning to their faces
Little darlin' it seems like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
And I say it's all right
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Little darlin' I feel the ice is slowly meltin'
Little darlin' it seems like years since it's been clear
Here come the sun, here comes the sun
And I say it's all right
Here come the sun, here comes the sun
It's all right, it's all right

[Taverner]

6. Of Course there's "How Do You Sleep?" By the Stone Roses

I've seen your severed head at a banquet for the dead
All dressed up dinner, looked so fine
Your shining silver salver so tastefully powdered
With the finest military quick lime

Now try and picture this, as I gave you a kiss
The apple in your mouth slipped in mine
The orchestra played the sweetest serenade
We laughed as we put away your wine

So raise your glasses, here's a toast to wasted lives
May all their ghosts come back to haunt you
And tell you how they died

How do you sleep?
How do you last the night and keep the dogs at bay?
How do you feel when you close your eyes, and try and drift away?
Does it feel any better now?
Does it mean any more when the angel of death comes knock, knocking,
And banging at your door?

When all the fun was over, I put you on my shoulder
took you home, away from it all
Shot down and claimed, mounted and framed
Tastefully hung up on my wall
Are my dreams your nightmares? I hope they all come true
Get off your knees, the party's over
I'm coming home to you

How do you sleep?
How do you last the night and keep the dogs at bay?
How do you feel when you close your eyes, and try and drift away?
Does it feel any better now?
Does it mean any more when the angel of death comes knock, knocking,
And banging at your door, at your door?

15. "Happy Days are Here Again" - old Roosevelt New Deal tune - always gets

played when the Democrats oust an incumbent Republican president.

On edit - here are the words:

"Happy Days Are Here Again"
By Jack Yellen & Milton Alger
As recorded by Leo Reisman and His Orchestra, with Lou Levin, vocal (November 1929).

Happy days are here again,
The skies above are clear again
Let us sing a song of cheer again --
Happy days are here again

All together, shout it now --
There's no one who can doubt it now
So let's tell the world about it now
Happy days are here again

Your cares and troubles are gone --
There'll be no more from now on!

Happy days are here again,
The skies above are clear again
Let us sing a song of cheer again --
Happy days are here again

In 1932, this song was played at the Democratic presidential convention and became a campaign song for Franklin D. Roosevelt.



Edit again: Best sung while waving a mug of your favorite brew - something the New Dealers couldn't do, as it was still Prohibition.

20. Streisand does a kick ass version of this & here's the intro

You are just a thing of the past!

(and then all of us together, millions strong, singing the song)
HAPPY DAYS ARE HERE AGAIN!
