Ever wonder what George Bush listens to as he's biking around in these last few lame duck days? I asked around and got a few suggestions for the presidential iPod. Feel free to throw in your faves into the mix:
-- Watertiger thinks it may be a super Raffi mix. (YouTube) She may be right. Saucy minx that she is, she also threw in "City of New Orleans" (YouTube) by Arlo Guthrie and "Pick Up The Pieces" (YouTube) by the Average White Band.
-- bmaz suggests "I'm On The Lamb, But I Ain't No Sheep" (YouTube) by Blue Oyster Cult.
-- I'm throwing The Clash and "I Fought The Law" into the ring.
-- Eli has an awesome suggestion list at his place, including:
-- "Loser" (YouTube) by Beck
-- Chicago's "Hard To Say I'm Sorry"
-- Edith Piaf, Non Je Ne Regrette Rien (YouTube)
-- MC 900 Ft Jesus - If I Only Had A Brain (YouTube)
-- Pat Boone, Crazy Train (YouTube)
Well, that ought to get things going, anyway. Suggestions for the presidential playlist? You know you have one...

I have not heard this before, Rolling Stones, Sweet Neo Con.
“I think you are a crock of sh*t.” “How come you’re so wrong.” “Life is getting very scary.” “Where’s the money gone.”
Great minds and all that. Owe ya a frosty beverage.
George Thorogood: I drink alone
I drink alone, yeah, with nobody else.
I drink alone, yeah, with nobody else.
Yeah, you know when I drink alone, I prefer to be by myself.
Now, every morning, just before breakfast,
I don’t want no coffee or tea.
Just me and my good buddy Weiser.
That’s all I ever need.
Cause I drink alone, yeah, with nobody else.
I drink alone, yeah, with nobody else.
Yeah, you know when I drink alone, I prefer to be by myself.
Now, the other night I lay sleeping,
And I woke from a terrible dream.
So I called up my pal, Jack Daniels,
And his partner Jimmy Beam.
And we drank alone, yeah, with nobody else.
We drank alone, yeah, with nobody else.
Yeah, you know when I drink alone, I prefer to be by myself.
Well, the other night I got invited to a party,
But I stayed home instead.
Just me and my pal Johnny Walker,
And his brothers Black and Red.
And we drank alone, yeah, with nobody else.
We drank alone, yeah, with nobody else.
Yeah, you know when I drink alone, I prefer to be by myself.
Well, my whole family done give up on me,
And it makes me feel so bad.
The only one who’ll hang out with me
Is my dear old Granddad.
And we drink alone, yeah, with nobody else.
We drink alone, yeah, with nobody else.
Yeah, you know when I drink alone, I prefer to be by myself.
Must not forget this one:
Neil Young - Let’s Impeach The President
Remember ( for those of us over 50) when LBJ had an intestinal (yuk) polyp removed? Some wag (probably not punaise) suggested “On the Good Ship Polyp Lop” as appropriate.
Dada — Dizz Knee Land
“I just flipped off President George…”
Just about anything off the 1974 Randy Newman album Rednecks
Mr. President (Have Pity on The Workin’ Man), Louisiana 1927 (or 2006), Kingfish, Rednecks, Every Man A King…
while presumably a paean to Huey Long, most suspect this was actually a reference to the Nixon “Southern Strategy” (with a tad of George Wallace thrown in). But it sounds pretty much like Bush to me.
Well, if you insist . . . an Oregon-brewed Fat Tire Ale would suffice :)
it hasn’t worked for some time - however, if ya click on the name that it references, it does take ya to that comment
lol. I missed that (wasn’t around I think)
REM - End Of The World As We Know It (And I feel Fine).
How about Bocelli, Con Te Partiro?
What’s yours?
Here you go. A personal favorite of mine as well.
Don’t Go Away Mad (Just Go Away)…
I will have the same.
Well, as they say, if you remember the ’60’s, you weren’t really there . . .
Totally unrelated, but just because I’m you-toobin’
That’s The Way
Great minds drink alike?
I heard that Bush pardoned a turkey today. Does anyone know if it was Scooter Libby? Ba-da-boom.
It would appear so.
at least it wasn’t a sarah style pardoning
Will you be here all week, and should we try the veal? ;-)
Shrub got snarky too, in that he said the second turkey ‘pecan’ was at an undisclosed location…
Milgram’s 37, We do what we’re told…
Those pardoned turkeys usually end up at a county park not far from me. Hmmm, I should mobilize some radicals and go liberate ‘em…
Yep. The Onion was on it.
Cowboy Junkies - A Common Disaster
Try the waitresses, tip the veal, I’ll be here until Thursday. *g*
Rats! Out-onioned again!
Sass Jordan - Pissin’ Down
As of 1/20/2009, our Hard Time Killin’ Floor Blues will be over
Yeah, I’m an idealist. Sue me ;-)
lol ;-)
Now that Obama is running the show:
Robert Randolph - Going In The Right Direction
James McMurtry - Where’d You Hide The Body
And all the world sings Hallelujah!
Just an OT thought — hope jayt’s son has arrived safe and sound tonight.
Chinese Democracy The latest G&R tune that’s banned in China…
Big Brother & the Holding Co. Down on Me.
Amen. And stays that way.
This one really has nothing to do with the topic at hand, except for maybe this line: “Some will rob you with a six gun, and some with a fountain pen”
Yes indeed. ((( jayt and number one son )))
ct and suz - thanks for letting me know about the “show text”. this is pretty much my maiden voyage with firefox. new compute. i’m not amused by vista so far.
I used to live a couple of miles from where Pretty Boy grew up and where a lot of his kin still live (Cookson, OK). He was still a pretty big folk hero in the Oklahoma hill country into the 1970s.
DrD, that’s pretty cool! :-)
The Eagles - Lyin Eyes
ya’ll know there is fresh threadiness upstairs?
The Beatles — Piggies
John Lee Hooker - One bourbon, one scotch, one beer
Thanks Suz, en route!
Going On
My younger son showed me this and I like it…nothing to do with old whoozis
My grandpa thought Pretty Boy Floyd was led to a life of crime by reading dime novels.
Gnarls Barkley - “Who’s Gonna Save My Soul?”
I go chop your dollar
I go take your money disappear.
@142 oops, typo, second line of the chorus should be:
I go take your money disappear.
