What should be on the soundtrack for Shrubby's press conference tonight?

[iconoclastic cat]

My vote for track #1 relates to what I believe will be his post-conferece polling:
RING OF FIRE
by Johnny Cash

I Fell Into A Burning Ring Of Fire
I Went Down, Down, Down
And The Flames Went Higher

And It Burns, Burns, Burns
The Ring Of Fire
The Ring Of Fire




Or maybe "Breathe" by Ministry:

breathe!

corporate causes with self-served denial
the raping of the land
collapse
the lungs malfunction
they never learned to breathe

breathe!

rusted syringes and half-thought disposal
a burial at sea
waste water graveyard
swimming in disease

breathe!

this is the world
it's not working
this is this earth

breathe! breathe, you fucker!

children gasping the second-hand air
death and desperation
we've got to cut the lies with truth
we breathe

breathe!

this is the world
the clock's ticking
is this this earth?

breathe! breathe, you fucker!

hope springs eternal but there's no conviction
action mistaken for ransom is paid
all this concern is the true contradiction
the world is insane

breathe!

this is the world
it's got no future
is this this earth?

breathe! breathe, you fucker
******


On edit: Yes, I have a broad range of musical tastes.

[Aristus]

1. If Shrubbie had his way:

"Head Like A Hole" by NIN.

"Head like a hole, black as your soul
I'd rather die than give you control
Bow down before the one you serve
You're going to get what you deserve!"

I'm sure he'd love that!

[iconoclastic cat]

3. His favorite line: "God Money, I'd do anything for you."

[Hun Joro]

21. Or "let's go dancing on the backs of the bruised"

[ElsewheresDaughter]

17. Thank you, I hadn't seen this. This was excellent and very apt.

Just wish one of us was on the crew, and could run it, but we'd, ironically, probably be dragged away in chains.:eyes:

4. Lawyers, Guns and Money

[Hugin]

5. Woo Hoo...

Ha! I beat underpants to this thread!

Very fitting too... You must admit!

Woo Hoo woohoo hoo

[iconoclastic cat]

7. Do you have a selection for the soundtrack?

[Hugin]

11. The song "Woo Hoo"...

It's linked to the "People do stupid things" Vonage ad campaign.

The 5,6,7,8's from "Kill Bill" soundtrack. -- Thanks zbird.

[iconoclastic cat]

14. Oh, I forgot about them!

They're cool, but Shonen Knife was the best of that genre.

[LiberalEsto]

6. We are not men, we are DEVO

and they could have Cheney, Rummy and Condi jumping up and down like whack-a-moles in the background.

[iconoclastic cat]

8. They certainly do represent the devolution of humankind.

[Scout1071]

9. "You're an Asshole" by Jimmy Buffett

Well I was drivin' down I-95 the other night.
Somebody nearly cut me right off the road.
I decided it wasn't gonna do any good to get mad.
So I wrote a song about him instead.
It goes like this...

Were you born an asshole?
Or did you work at it your whole life?
Either way it worked out fine
'cause you're an asshole tonight.

Yes you're an A S S H O L E...
And don't you try to blame it on me.
You deserve all the credit.
You're an asshole tonight.

You were an asshole yesterday.
You're an asshole tonight.
And I've got a feelin'
you'll be an asshole the rest of your life.

And I was talkin' to your mother
just the other night.
I told her I thought you were an asshole.
She said, "Yes. I think you're right."

And all your friends are assholes
'cause you've known them your whole life.
And somebody told me
you've got an asshole for a wife.

Were you born an asshole?
Or did you work at it your whole life?
Either way it worked out fine
'cause you're an aaaass...hole tonight.

10. Denis Leary's "Asshole" song or Charlie Brown's schoolteacher

Wahmp-wahmp-wahhhhhhhh

[Burma Jones]

12. Liar - Three Dog Night

I won't ever leave while you want me to stay
Nothing you could do that would turn me away
Hanging on every word
Believing the things I heard
Being a fool
You've taken my life, so take my soul
That's what you said and I believed it all
I want to be with you as long
As you want me to
I won't move away
Ain't that what you said?
Ain't that what you said?
Ain't that what you said?
Liar, liar, liar
May I see no night
May I see no day
If I ever leave while you want me to stay
You can believe in me
I won't be leaving
I won't let you go
Ain't that what you said?
Ain't that what you said?
Ain't that what you said?
Liar, liar, liar

13. Fleetwood Mac - Little Lies

Fleetwood Mac - Little Lies

If I could turn the page
In time then I'd rearrange
Just a day or two
Close my, close my, close my eyes

But I couldn't find a way
So I'll settle for one day
To believe in you
Tell me, tell me , tell me lies

Tell me lies
Tell me sweet little lies
(Tell me lies, tell me, tell me lies)
Oh, no, no you can't disguise
(You can't disguise, no you can't disguise)
Tell me lies
Tell me sweet little lies

ALthough I'm not making plans
I hope that you understand
There's a reason why
Close your, close your, close your eyes





No more broken kearts
We're better off apart
Let's give it a try
Tell me, tell me, tell me lies

Tell me lies
Tell me sweet little lies
(Tell me lies, tell me, tell me lies)
Oh, no, no you can't disguise
(You can't disguise, no you can't disguise)
Tell me lies
Tell me sweet little lies

If I could turn the page
In time then I'd rearrange
Just a day or two
Close my, close my, close my eyes

But I couldn't find a way
So I'll settle for one day
To believe in you
Tell me, tell me, tell me lies

Tell me lies
Tell me sweet little lies
(Tell me lies, tell me, tell me lies)
Oh, no, no you can't disguise
(You can't disguise, no you can't diguise)

Tell me lies
Tell me sweet little lies
(Tell me lies, tell me, tell me lies)
Oh, no, no you can't disguise
(You can't disguise, no you can't disguise)
Tell me lies
Tell me sweet little lies
(Tell me, tell me lies)

25. "Patriotism" by Company Flow

Do you know who you are..
Do you know who you are fucking with?
Do you know the access to weapons money and power that we have?
We will fucking kill you!

I'm the ugliest version of passed down toxic capitalist
rapid emcee perversion -- I'm America!
Your bleeding heart liberal drivel gets squashed
Wash 'em with sterilized rhyme patriot guided weaponry bomb
from the makers of the devious hearts -- I'm America!
You bitchy little tarts don't even phase my basic policy
The bomb's smarter, my Ronald Reagans crush Carter
Prepare big tactics, makin young men into martyrs
(Come on down!) Come to my happy promised land
Smiley faced opportunity cypher
and jump on the CoFlow pension plan
A proletariat crushing State of the Union
between serpentine words and mass confusion
of media controlled blurb advertising disillusionment
Your family will love my low-rent, low-life
no-brain, reality-dagger, MOVEMENT
Hop over the border for amusement; try to test the waters
that the other slaughter crews periodic usin
You up against -- Jesus Freak, formin' corporations and Young Republicans
Indelible NATO force hidden agenda, puppet governments
I'm lovin it! Keep the people guessin who I'm runnin with
Control the population and hide behind sacred covenants
Fuckin with me?!?! Means liberal wildlife burnin, gasoline seized
and an automagnetic third world printed with metal plates in they knees
Can't you hear the disenchanted, hide the scream of
Gabriel's reflected new wind instrument, a judgment played in flat C
I replace humans like robots in a GM factory (warning! warning!)
Then export metaphors to sweat shops, cause the price is satisfactory
Your pious little cries of injustice get met with apathy (awww, SHUCKS!)
Soak, cloak, hormone injected dairy product
and conservative right-wing anti-eroticism; the poisonous
resevoirs and power lines in your neighborhood cause botchilism
SENSELESS! Join the census, censorship sentences sentence
Triple-felon citizen paid pennance!
Dissension against C-F ends in, penetentiary residence
Lock 'em up first, then ask questions
Ommision presence, my CHARM is the weapon
with cameras mics and satellites that leave privacy breathless
You don't even know the chemicals you've ingested
Urine tested -- BEAT INNOCENT MAN TIL HE CONFESSES

I'm America arrogant!! Terminus verbal curfew murders
You either purchase my products or you're worthless, that's my servants!
Don't look into the oculars of a daylight saver
Erase your city head and momument defacer comprising of
patriot droids, sent into the void with lead linings
Employed by the bureaucrats of automatic twisted rhyme timing
You're guaranteed nothing but my fat little finger
that lingers one inch off of the big button -- LET'S START THIS!
I'm Saran gas, hide in your apartments
I'm stealth like a robot hidden in the fat asshole of Cartman
And give a crippling fuck like sand sharkskin condom
to your apparent vaginal problem - the hottest shit on Soundbombing
I'm American til infinite justice measure to Pesticide Cemetary
Invite you to cross the border then SHIT on your divinities
What language is that? I'm angusih in fact, tangle with a
star-spangled standard issue gat for crowd management
Go wild and get a trial and then a hot cry to harassment
by the crowd force of my mental pedestrian checker,
that smashes insubordinate skulls and update the file in your dental records
You tryin to get elected the crowd is my paid hecklers (BOO! BOO!)
You just stepped into the spectrum of paranoid word wrangle
Thinkin you sick with a sihlouette, burn transit cop out his plain clothes
I'm America!! This is where the pain grows like poppies
in a Field of Dreams I paid for, I'll burn it down if operated sloppily
COPY? My economic sanction rhyme style got your syllables
scraping for rice and riding in a green 1960 jalopy
My favorite flavour of gas is mustard
I'm fuckin a blind hermaphrodite icon and convincin you that it's justice!

Treason will not be tolerated!
You have been enlisted.. into a lifestyle that you may not change!
Understand! You can't be happy.. and smile.. for the cameras!
Motherfucker!
