What would be the Bush Administration's Theme Song?
I'd go with the Empire's theme song on Star Wars, the one that tells you "Yeah, it's Fascism".

43. You know what I'm gonna do...
Edited on Thu Mar-09-06 03:28 PM by Rocknrule
I'm gonna get myself a 1967 Cadillac El Dorado, hot-fuckin'-pink, with whaleskin hubcaps and all-leather cow interior and big brown baby seal eyes for headlights... yeah! And I'm gonna drive around in that baby doing 115 miles an hour, getting 1 mile per gallon, suckin' down quarter pound cheeseburgers from McDonald's in the old-fashioned non-biodegradable styrofoam containers... yeah! And when I'm done suckin' down those greaseball burgers I'm gonna toss the styrofoam containers right out the side, and there ain't a goddamn thing anybody can do about it. You know why? Because we got the bombs, that's why... yeah! Two words--nuclear fuckin' weapons, OK? Russia, Czechoslovakia, Romania, they can have all the democracy they want...they can have a democracy cakewalk right through the middle of Tienamen Square and it won't make a lick of fuckin' difference, because we got the bombs, OK? John Wayne's not dead--he's frozen! And when we find a cure for cancer, we're gonna thaw out the Duke and he's gonna be pretty pissed off. You now why? You ever taken a cold shower? Well, multiply that by 15 million times--that's how pissed off the Duke's gonna be. I'm gonna get the Duke & John Casavetti and Sam Peckinpaw and a case of fuckin' whisky and drive...

Yep, sounds like Bush

29. The Bee Gees Song Lyrics "I Started a Joke"
Edited on Thu Mar-09-06 01:42 PM by MadMaddie
THE BEE GEES Song Lyrics

I Started a Joke
(From the album "ONE NIGHT ONLY")

I started a joke, which started the whole world crying,
but I didn't see that the joke was on me, oh no.

I started to cry, which started the whole world laughing,
oh, if I'd only seen that the joke was on me.

I looked at the skies, running my hands over my eyes,
and I fell out of bed, hurting my head from things that I'd said.

Til I finally died, which started the whole world living,
oh, if I'd only seen that the joke was on me.

I looked at the skies, running my hands over my eyes,
and I fell out of bed, hurting my head from things that I'd said.

'Til I finally died, which started the whole world living,
oh, if I'd only seen that the joke was one me.

35. Fascist Groove Thang, Pretty Vacant, and that old Killing Joke song...
Went something like this:

Look at the controller

A Nazi with a social degree

A middle class hero

A rapist with your eye on me."

PSSYCHE, Killing Joke

Or either Firing Squad or Inquisition Day by the Subhumans

57. Brain Damage
from Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon; it's an instrumental (we all know how much trouble * has speaking). Randi Rhodes often plays it going into breaks, especially when she's been talking about Dumbya.

58. "Ave Satani"
It's the theme music on the movie soundtrack for "The Omen."

I'll also second Black Sabbath's "War Pigs;" a most apt description, indeed.

Generals gathered in their masses
Just like witches at black masses
Evil minds that plot destruction
sorcerers of death's construction
In the fields the bodies burning
As the war machine keeps turning
Death and hatred to mankind
Poisoning their brainwashed minds
Oh lord, yeah!

Politicians hide themselves away
They only started the war
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that role to the poor

Time will tell on their power minds
Making war just for fun
Treating people just like pawns in chess
Wait till their judgement day comes

Now in darkness world stops turning
Ashes where the bodies burning
No more War Pigs have the power
Hand of God has struck the hour
Day of judgement, God is calling
On their knees the War Pigs crawling
Begging mercies for their sins
Satan, laughing, spreads his wings
Oh lord, yeah!
