MUSIC TO VOTE BY -- FOR THE SENATE

[BigBearJohn]

Someone should enter chambers with a boombox,
playing the song

Yeah, it's sad, believe me missy,
When you're born to be a sissy,
Without the vim and verve.
But I could show my prowess,
Be a lion not a mowess,
If I only had the nerve

1. we're whistling it now n/t

[BurgherHoldtheLies]

2. I vote 'Mosh' with hooded black sweatshirts and all. nt

[booksenkatz]

3. A few ideas

Bread -- "You left me, just when I needed you most"
Diana Ross -- "Do you know where you're going to?"
Gilbert O'Sullivan -- "Alone again, naturally"
Peter Gabriel -- "I grieve"
Klaatu -- "Calling occupants of interplanetary craft"
Nena -- "99 red balloons" (in the original German)
Seals & Crofts -- "We may never pass this way again"
Bonnie Raitt -- "Let's give 'em something to talk about"
Don Henley -- "The last worthless evening"
En Vogue -- "You're never gonna get it"
The O'Jays -- "Backstabbers"

... as you can tell from my bizarre mix, I have mixed feelings about what I expect to see tomorrow!
:crazy:

5. Ah, yes, Nena's 99 Luftballons

The more things change, the more they remain the same:

99 Kriegsminister
Streichholz und Benzinkanister
Hielten sich für schlaue Leute
Witterten schon fette Beute
Riefen: Krieg und wollten Macht
Mann, wer hätte das gedacht
Dass es einmal soweit kommt
Wegen 99 Luftballons....

Not to mention my favorite line:
99 Jahre Krieg
Liessen keine Platz für Sieger


Scary shit.

And touching, in that the language of Hitler was used for a passionate plea for peace.

8. Marvin Gaye - "Let's Get It On" nt

[BigBearJohn]

4. How about...;

John Lennon -- Imagine
Pink Floyd -- We will rock you
Carly Simon -- These boots are made for walking

or

My country tis of thee,
Sweet land of liberty,
Of thee I sing.
Land where my fathers died!
Land of the Pilgrim's pride!
From every mountain side,
Let freedom ring!

or

God bless America, land that I love
Stand beside her and guide her
Through the night with the light from above
From the mountains To the prairies,
To the ocean white with foam
God bless America, My home sweet home

[Clark2008]

6. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss...

Won't Get Fooled Again.

(BTW, Pete Townshend HATED that Shrub used that).

[darkism]

7. Muse, from that video from a while back...

I won't let you bury it
I won't let you smother it
I won't let you murder it

How did it come to this?
