3. I'm guessin' it's 'Highway to Hell' by AC/DC
My '82 graduating class voted for that song - they wouldn't give it to us and we got 'Freebird'.

5. "Tell me lies" by Fleetwood Mac -- Malloy signature piece
Edited on Sun Jan-29-06 02:12 AM by Bozita
Mike Malloy used it very effectively.

Listen to "WarGate" here:

Enjoy.

10. Pavane For A Dead Princess
by Deodato

you wanna have your heart break? combine the speach with this song.
especially if the senate gets their sixty votes for cloture.
(that will kill the filibuster)

either way--America is the princess and the face of bush is the face of the man who is killing her.

(pretty grim)

20. Probably the song George sings in the shower every morning
and while he's shaving in the mirror. It's from West Side Story:


I feel pretty
Oh so pretty
I feel pretty and witty and gay
And I pity
Any girl who isn't me today
I feel charming
Oh so charming
It's alarming how charming I feel
And so pretty
That I hardly can believe I'm real

Takin' My Country Back

Author: David A. Kent

C F C
Country music's got mamas and daddys
F C
We got bar rooms and old heartbreak songs
F C G/B Am
But I'm here today to stand up and say
D G
How I feel about my home sweet home
D G F
What's left, what's right and what's wrong...and

F
I'm taking my country back
C
Son, you ain't been doin' her right
D
Oh, I been watchin' you and I don't like
G
How you've been treatin' my stars and stripes
F
You took our jobs and sent 'em overseas
C
Now we owe billions to the red Chinese
F
You blew the budget and you botched Iraq
G F C C G/B Am
So I'm taking my country back.

G
We had a bundle in the treasury drawer
C
More than there had ever been there before
E7 Am
But every day we're drownin' deeper in debt
D G
Maybe four years should be all you get
F C
Then you gave tax breaks to the millionaires
F C
And tried to make the workin' man pay
F C
But you can't tax a man when his jobs not there
D G
Now look at where we are today...hey

F
I'm taking my country back
C
Son, you ain't been doin' her right
D
Oh I been watchin' you and I don't like
G
How you been treatin' my stars and stripes
F
You've got too many fancy friends for me
C
The Saudis treat you like you're royalty
F
You blew the budget and you botched Iraq
G F C C G/B Am
Now I'm takin' my country back

G
Now I can understand why you were hot
C
'Cause Bin Laden never did get caught
E7 Am
So you said we had Saddam to blame
D G
Tried to tell us it was all the same
F C
But now the years roll by and our kids keep dyin'
F C
You don't even have a plan to bring 'em home
F C
And those W.M.D. you promised on T.V.
D G F C F G
Hey admit it, you figured it wrong...so I'm takin' my country back

Am F F C
Now you don't know my name, but you know who I am
Am D
I'm your everyday work hard, play hard
G
Raise kids and pray hard common man
F G
And lord knows I love this land...that's why

F
I'm taking my country back
C
Son, you ain't been doin' her right
D
Oh I been watchin' you and I don't like
G
How you been treatin' my stars and stripes
F
You say "unite" but you divide us more
C G/B Am
Cussin' each other on the Senate floor
F
Ain't we supposed to be above all that?
G F C
Hey I'm taking my country back
F
I got my family and my church and flack
G F C F C
Now I'm takin' my country back

32. sing-a-longs
Show Me the Way to Go Home

Show me the way to go home
I'm tired and I want to go to bed
I had a little drink about an hour ago
And it went right to my head
Where ever I may roam
On land or sea or foam
You will always hear me singing this song
Show me the way to go home


Bottle of Wine

Ramblin' around this dirty old town
Singin' for nickels and dimes
Times getting rough I ain't got enough
To buy me a bottle of wine

Bottle of wine, fruit of the vine
When you gonna let me get sober
Leave me along, let me go home
I wann'a go back and start over

CHORUS

Teacher must teach, and the preacher must preach
Miner must dig in the mine
I ride the rods, trusting in God
And hugging my bottle of wine

35. No, the perfect song for this SOTU is James Brown - "The Payback"
I mean come on, it's a song that makes numerous references to revenge. What could be more perfect than that?

39. Lyrics to "The sidestep"...
THE SIDESTEP
From : "The Best Little Whorehouse In Texas"
(Carol Hall)
Charles Durning

Fellow Texans, I am proudly standing here to humbly see.
I assure you, and I mean it- Now, who says I don't speak out as plain as day?
And, fellow Texans, I'm for progress and the flag -- long may it fly
.
I'm a poor boy, come to greatness. So, it follows that I cannot tell a lie.

Ooh I love to dance a little sidestep, now they see me now they don't-
I've come and gone and, ooh I love to sweep around the wide step,
cut a little swathe and lead the people on
.

Now my good friends, it behooves me to be solemn and declare,
I'm for goodness and for profit and for living clean and saying daily prayer.
And now, my good friends, you can sleep nights, I'll continue to stand tall.
You can trust me, for I promise, I shall keep a watchful eye upon ya'll...

Ooh I love to dance a little sidestep, now they see me now they don't-
I've come and gone and, ooh I love to sweep around the wide step,
cut a little swathe and lead the people on.


Now, Miss Mona, I don't know her, though I've heard the name, oh yes.
But, of course I've no close contact, so what she is doing I can only guess.
And now, Miss Mona, she's a blemish on the face of that good town.
I am taking certain steps here, someone somewhere's gonna have to close her down.

Ooh I love to dance a little sidestep, now they see me now they don't-
I've come and gone and, ooh I love to sweep around the wide step,
cut a little swathe and lead the people on.

Ooh I love to dance a little sidestep...

And, ooh I love to sweep around the wide step...

Cut a little swathe and lead the people on.

40. Better one - Metallica - Master Of Puppets
End of passion play, crumbling away
I'm your source of self-destruction
Veins that pump with fear, sucking darkest clear
Leading on your deaths' construction

Taste me you will see
More is all you need
You're dedicated to
How I'm killing you

Come crawling faster
Obey your master
Your life burns faster
Obey your master
Master

Master of puppets I'm pulling your strings
Twisting your mind and smashing your dreams
Blinded by me, you can't see a thing
Just call my name, 'cause I'll hear you scream
Master
Master
Just call my name, 'cause I'll hear you scream
Master
Master

Needlework the way, never you betray
Life of death becoming clearer
Pain monopoly, ritual misery
Chop your breakfast on a mirror

Taste me you will see
More is all you need
You're dedicated to
How I'm killing you

Come crawling faster
Obey your master
Your life burns faster
Obey your master
Master

Master of puppets I'm pulling your strings
Twisting your mind and smashing your dreams
Blinded by me, you can't see a thing
Just call my name, 'cause I'll hear you scream
Master
Master
Just call my name, 'cause I'll hear you scream
Master
Master

Master, master, where's the dreams that I've been after?
Master, master, you promised only lies
Laughter, laughter, all I hear or see is laughter
Laughter, laughter, laughing at my cries

Hell is worth all that, natural habitat
Just a rhyme without a reason
Neverending maze, drift on numbered days
Now your life is out of season

I will occupy
I will help you die
I will run through you
Now I rule you too

Come crawling faster
Obey your master
Your life burns faster
Obey your master
Master

Master of puppets I'm pulling your strings
Twisting your mind and smashing your dreams
Blinded by me, you can't see a thing
Just call my name, 'cause I'll hear you scream
Master
Master
Just call my name, 'cause I'll hear you scream
Master
Master

43. Anything by:
Immortal technique: "...They say the soldiers in Iraq are still fighting Saddam/ But that's bulls---, I'll tell you why it's totally wrong..."

Mos Def: "Beef is not what Jay said to Nas,/ beef is when the working folks can't find jobs!" "When a soldier ends his life with his own gun,/ beef is trying to figure out what to tell his son./ Beef is oil prices and geopolitics./ Beef is Iraq, the West Bank, and Gaza Strip."

Talib Qweli: "...Our activism/ Is attacking the system..." "They try to get me to vote by saying the lesser of two evils is still a choice!" "...The motherf---ing Democrats start acting like Republicans!"

Black Thought: "I'm tighter than the Bushes with the Saudi-Arabians."

J-Live: "It won't make a difference in a two party country/ if the President cheats to win another four years." "They say to eat good you gotta swallow your pride/ But dead that game plan. I'm not satisfied."

And many others.
