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.

That is, if HippieKinkster doesn't mind turning this into Karaoke?

Perhaps the classic American protest song;
Mr Phil Ochs doing I ain't Marching Anymore

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

Pink Floyd

Kate Rusby

And just for Hannah Lynn when she gets here

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.

Well TY. 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!

This is simply amazing, and I'm not much into superlatives

What I get a kick out of is their use of the accordion.

The only time you usually see those is polka bands at weddings.

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
