You have just been elevated 10 more steps up the coolness ladder! I appreciate the time you took to suggest this, but it is still not the one. If I can't find it by morning, I'll dig out my microphone and hum a few bars. [8D] That is, if HippieKinkster doesn't mind turning this into Karaoke?

Kana -> RE: Best Protest Songs (4/26/2011 10:28:58 PM)
Perhaps the classic American protest song; Mr Phil Ochs doing I ain't Marching Anymore http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5pgrKSwFJE

Is it perhaps What Are We Fighting For? by the band Live? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9dwpWLo2nLM Battle flag in the bassinet Oil and blood on the bayonet Crowded downtown hit the floor What are we fightin' for? What are we fightin' for? What are we fightin' for? The world got smaller but the bombs got bigger Holocaust on a hairpin trigger Aint no game so forget the score What are we fightin' for? What are we fightin' for? What are we fightin' for? What are we fightin' for? What will I tell my daughter? What will you tell your son? Where were all the doves? That we were nothing but a shadow, a faceless generation devoid of love? The crucifix ain't no baseball bat Tell me what kind of God is that? Ain't nothing more godless than a war So what are we fightin' for? What are we fightin' for? What are we fightin' for? What are we fightin' for? What will I tell my daughter? What will you tell your son? Where were all the doves? That we were nothing but a shadow, A faceless generation? What are we fightin' for? Edit: Adding yet another appropriate song by Ms. Tabor: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cWhOO9Q323Y Be at peace Aneka

I second (or is it 4th) the kudos on the great thread idea HK, and I think you're cool. yeah, yeah, I know, its not the same, but take what you can get. Here's a few submissions of mine The Smiths Pink Floyd Kate Rusby And just for Hannah Lynn when she gets here Sex Pistols And this one just because I like it. The Pogues

Great song AneNoz, but would you believe it's still not the one? Unfortunately, I slept like a baby last night, which means I didn't wake in the middle of the night with the name on the tip of my tongue.

I saw the Sex Pistols here in ATL way back in, what was it, 78? Just gotten divorced and was out punkin' and partyin'. Saw some great bands back then. Here's a nice mellow one Dropkick Murphys - "Which Side Are you on?" Rock out, babies!

The only time you usually see those is polka bands at weddings. [:D]

Hippiekinkster -> RE: Best Protest Songs (4/27/2011 7:00:08 AM)
Some very cool stuff, everyone. Thanks for making this a great thread. Here's one of my favorite SF bands, Quicksilver Messenger Service, doing "What About Me?"

You say you want a revolution Well, you know We all want to change the world You tell me that it's evolution Well, you know We all want to change the world But when you talk about destruction Don't you know that you can count me out Don't you know it's gonna be all right all right, all right You say you got a real solution Well, you know We'd all love to see the plan You ask me for a contribution Well, you know We're doing what we can But when you want money for people with minds that hate All I can tell is brother you have to wait Don't you know it's gonna be all right all right, all right Ah ah, ah, ah, ah, ah... You say you'll change the constitution Well, you know We all want to change your head You tell me it's the institution Well, you know You better free you mind instead But if you go carrying pictures of chairman Mao You ain't going to make it with anyone anyhow Don't you know it's gonna be all right all right, all right all right, all right, all right all right, all right, all right
