I’m going to have to listen to that one.

“[Ha ha you’re dead](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6CYkZcPYXQI)” by Green Day.
I pray every night that I’ll get to play this one while drinking myself into a gleeful stupor.

The appropriateness of this one is entirely conditional, depending on circumstances at the time.
I fervently hope that such conditions and circumstances manifest.

R.E.M. Orange Crush. Play it just as the coffin goes into the garbage compactor.

We can’t leave out YG’s _Fuck Donald Trump_.
Oh, and the Beatles’ _Back in the USSR_, given that (supposedly) it was written from the view of a Soviet spy returning to the USSR.

Uh, that’s good. But I think it’s a parody of ‘California Girls’ by the Beach Boys.

And “Back in the U.S.A.” by Chuck Berry.
Adding to the _Wizard of Oz_ and _Wicked_ selections:

It was dedicated to another conservative political monster, but I think it would fit Trump too:
Elvis Costello - Tramp The Dirt Down

I was going to play “[Good Bye To You](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t08JzDgg8do)”.
That said, this is what I hope they play over loudspeakers for his MAGA-crowd.

Not to drop a turd in the punchbowl, but just to play Devil’s Advocate against the happier song choices: ‘Won’t Get Fooled Again’ by The Who?

Since it’s actually about Trump, how about Lucinda Williams’ “Man Without A Soul”.

[Dirt](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1E06cWL-cw) – Lou Reed. We sat around the other night, me and the guys, trying to find the right word that would best fit and describe you and people like you that no principle has touched, no principles baptized, (how about that?) who’d eat shit and say it tasted good if there was some money in it for him
[I’m sick of you](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XsKwqr2SKwo) – Lou Reed. Trump and Giuliani are mentioned by name.

Hey, guess what I’m listening to right now: “Rock’n’Roll Animal”.
And yeah, I always think of “Sick Of You” when I hear about the latest stunts of Trump or Giuliani, and there’s another lyric from the same album, from “Dirty Boulevard” that is so fitting today:
_Give me your hungry, your tired, your poor I’ll piss on 'em_
_That′s what the Statue of Bigotry says_
_Your poor huddled masses_
_Let′s club 'em to death_
_And get it over with and just dump ′em on the boulevard_
“New York” has always been my favorite Lou Reed album, and though it came out in 1989, it’s the perfect soundtrack for our times. Lou would puke his guts out if he was still alive.
