NICK CAVE & THE BAD SEEDS
“Red Right Hand”
(I think the last two versus are a good fit…)
You don’t have no money?
He’ll get you some
You don’t have no car?
He’ll get you one
You don’t have no self-respect,
you feel like an insect
Well don’t you worry buddy,
'cause here he comes
Through the ghettos and the barrio
and the bowery and the slum
A shadow is cast wherever he stands
Stacks of green paper in his
red right hand
You’ll see him in your nightmares,
you’ll see him in your dreams
He’ll appear out of nowhere but
he ain’t what he seems
You’ll see him in your head,
on the TV screen
And hey buddy, I’m warning
you to turn it off
He’s a ghost, he’s a god,
he’s a man, he’s a guru
You’re one microscopic cog
in his catastrophic plan
Designed and directed by
his red right hand
“We Are The Champions” by Queen.
Then again, it is a song by a gay foreigner, so I doubt they’d give it a chance…
Don’t know if anyone has mentioned it yet, but Living Colour’s “Cult of Personality” would be good.
Carly Simon’s You’re So Vain
Subcategory: Music to introduce Melania Trump with if she makes another appearance:
“My Sweet Lord,” George Harrison
“Whole Lotta Love,” Led Zeppellin
“Blurred Lines,” Robin Thicke
For a Trump victory;
Crazy Train by Ozzy Osborne
Eyes of a Stranger by Queensrÿche (could work for either, actually)
For a Hilliary victory;
The Wicked Witch of the West’s theme from The Wizard of Oz
The Imperial March (Darth Vader’s theme)
“Fuck the World” by the Insane Clown Posse.
Edit, also “Miracles”. Fucking elections, how do they work?!
Yakity-sax.
“Your Racist Friend” by They Might be Giants
That song from Hee-Haw about spreading rumors, before each assertion he makes about Hillary Clinton.
Lookin’ out My back Door by CCR
“Short People,” except he’d change it to “Brown People.”
“I did It My Way”
“It’s a Miracle” by Culture Club, which was supposed to be called “It’s America,” but they changed it at the last minute.
and the already suggested “Eve of Destruction”
Meanwhile, I’ll be jamming to “I wanna be sedated.”
