Songs appropriate for tRump rallies

I just read that the tRump campaign used Purple Rain at his taxpayer funded campaign event in Minnesota despite having promised the estate of Prince that he wouldn't do so. (Nobody actually believed he'd honor an agreement did they?)

With that in mind I think we should come up with a list of songs that would be more appropriate for tRump and his magats. To that end I offer:



Crazy Train - Ozzy Osbourne

Burnin' Down the House - Talking Heads

Creep - Radiohead

I'll try to think of some better ones. Everybody probably thinks of Loser and Creep.

When Ron and Fez had a talk show on Sirius/XM they used to play a song called "I'm an Asshole" but I don't know if it was a real song or a parody.

Hell Hole - Spinal Tap
Gimme Some Money - Spinal Tap

Stop wasting my time
You know what I want
You know what I need
Or maybe you don't
Do I have to come right flat out and tell you everything?
Gimme some money, gimme some money
I'm nobody's fool
I'm nobody's clown
I'm treating you cool
I'm putting you down
But baby I don't intend to leave empty handed
Gimme some money, gimme some money
Oh yeah! Go Nigel, Go!

For the love of money
People will steal from their mother
For the love of money
People will rob their own brother
For the love of money
People can't even walk the street
Because they never know
Who in the world they're gonna beat
For that lean, mean, mean green
Almighty dollar, money
