Help me with my compilation CD for George Bush

[GarySeven]

As a present for our great Commander in Chief, I am putting together a compilation music CD, but I am having a little trouble. Some groups should automatically be added to the disc:
1. Simple Minds
2. The Pretenders
3. Dire Straits
4. Lush
5. Doobie Brothers
6. Strangelove
7. Talk Talk

I need to add some more groups to the list, though. Some I've thought about include:
A. Police (for the police state he's building)
B. Bow Wow Wow (because he's barking mad)
C. Earth, Wind & Fire (For what will be left of the planet when he's through.)

Of course, groups like AC/DC and Queen are out.

Can anyone help me fill out the rest of the 600 tracks of my CD? Only real groups are allowed (and not those with names like "Nothing Short of a Bullet" for obvious reasons.)

1. What about Fortunate One by CCR? n/t

[TrustingDog]

2. Cheap Trick

[lectrobyte]

3. Four More Years by Warrior Soul

[Systematic Chaos]

4. Thinking of some...

But why do you insist on excluding Queen? They have a song off the album "A Night at the Opera" called "Death on Two Legs" that has been my official * song for quite some time. Do a search for the lyrics and see for yourself.

But as for other possibilities:

Blur (for how he blurs the truth)
Talking Heads (the media)
War (obvious)
Damn Yankees (a nod to world opinions of the US)

On edit:

Queensryche (specifically the album "Operation: Mindcrime"

[GarySeven]

6. Ah, but there's a reason ...

Because this is for a Republican, there are arbitrary and non-sensical rules to abide by. We must only list names of groups. Listing song titles would make it too easy and real Americans like to work hard.

AC/DC and Queen, although writers of apt songs, must be off the list because their names represent deviant lifestyles that are not part of the Republican's Culture Club.

[Systematic Chaos]

9. Ah, I understand now

:D

[lectrobyte]

12. and don't forget "Liar" by Queen, either.

[lectrobyte]

5. Idiots Are Taking Over by NOFX

[Keirsey]

8. Georgy girl

Hey there, Georgy girl
Swingin' down the street so fancy-free
Nobody you meet could ever see
The loneliness there
Inside you

Hey there, Georgy girl
Why do all the boys just pass you by?
Could it be you just don't try
Or is it the clothes you wear?

You're always window-shopping
But never stopping to buy
So, shed those dowdy feathers and fly
A little bit

Hey there, Georgy girl
There's another Georgy deep inside
Bring out all the love you hide
And, oh, what a change there'd be
The world would see
A new Georgy girl

INSTRUMENTAL BRIDGE

Hey there, Georgy girl
Dreamin' of the someone you could be
Life is a reality
You can't always run away

Don't be so scared of changing
And rearranging yourself
It's time for jumping down from the shelf
A little bit

Hey there, Georgy girl
There's another Georgy deep inside
Bring out all the love you hide
And, oh, what a change there'd be
The world would see
A new Georgy girl

(Hey there, Georgy girl)
Wake up, Georgy girl
(Hey there, Georgy girl)
Come on, Georgy girl
(Hey there, Georgy girl)
Wake up, Georgy girl
(fade out)

[MajorFlaw]

7. "It Takes A Village Idiot" by Graham Parker.

n/t

[Xenus Sister]

10. Of course, groups like...Queen are out. Not according to Kitty Kelley!

*smile*

I looked at my mp3s and came up with a few. You won't have any of these, but it was fun to take a look. They'd all work in various ways.

10,000 Maniacs
Altered Images
Arson Garden
Babble
Boiled In Lead (well, wishful thinking)
Caterwaul
Curve
Dead Can Dance
Death In June
Faith and the Muse
Fetchin' Bones
Five For Fighting
Four Way Cross
Fuzzbox
Garbage
Gong (as in "what are they smoking??")
Harm Farm
Hex
In The Nursery
Invisible Limits
Love Is Colder Than Death
Lush
Missing Persons
Psychowelders
Rip Rig and Panic
Single Gun Theory
Sunday All Over The World (the religious aspect)
Swimming With Sharks
Texas
This Mortal Coil
Unbelievable Truth
War
Wiggles

(Yes, I listen to very obscure music, why do you ask?)

[GarySeven]

11. I actually listed Lush ...

... Missing Persons (for all the Liberal Activists about to "disappear") is apt, along with Harm Farm and, of course, Garbage. Invisible Limits is also good, since none of us know exactly where our civil liberties begin and end anymore.

[Xenus Sister]

13. You're right, I meant to take out Lush and forgot

I'm bummed, while looking at my mp3s I found out that about 40gb worth have been trashed somehow. They're just gone! Maybe I had a virus, I don't know. I have to do a lot of detective work to see what happened. At least, everything was from my own collection (I have about 1500 CDs) so the music isn't gone, I just have to re-rip them.

16. do a file search

of your hard drive:

search *.mp3

14. Frank Zappa "Son of Orange County"

I have been lurking for a year, waiting for a topic to weigh in on. I read this and I knew it was the one.

And in your dreams you can see yourself
as a prophet, saving the world.
The words from your lips
I just can't believe you are are such a fool

"Son of Orange County"
Frank Zappa - Roxy and Elsewhere

15. Hi vogonity!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[GarySeven]

17. Here are some other group names that would be good:

1. Devo - for building a bridge to the 18th century
2. Air Supply - for the Bush environmental policies that will soon leave us gasping for fresh air
3. Meco -- for the hodgepodge of failed ideas
4. Men at Work -- for all of them who aren't
5. Wall of Voodoo -- for the economic policy
6. Simply Red -- for our embarassment before the world
7. U2 -- for our Freeper friends who are getting just as screwed as us.

[GarySeven]

18. Oh - and one more ...

Nickleback -- for what you get when you buy a gallon of gas with a $5 bill.

I'm here all week folks; try the veal.

[Texasgal]

19. How about Iron Maiden

" run for the hills " ?

21. I don't think he will listen to it.

[LibertyorDeath]

22. Cocain by Eric Clapton or Snowblind by Black Sabbath
