I originally wrote this song during the first Gulf War. Imagine my shock when the song suddenly and tragically became relevant again. I re-recorded it but my wife would not let me release the song as a free download back in 2003 due to the political climate in the country. It was a sad but true commentary that George Bush had made freedom of speech such a dangerous proposition that it made my wife afraid. Finally last year when the climate had started to change a bit I put it on my site as a free download. It has had numerous downloads and I hope has helped to galvanize opposition to the war and to George Bush."

Game Over is another musical creation by SoulPrawn that combines Bush's voice with hip electronic music set to a great beat to make an anti-Bush statement. If you like Game Over, you will also like Terror that can be found on this list.

More on SoulPrawn: Raised in France by British parents, SoulPrawn's extensive travels throughout the planet and the fact that he spent the past 15 years in Africa and the Middle-East with regular visits to the United States, gave him the ability to observe political developments in different parts of the world from a priviliged local perspective. SoulPrawn, an amateur musician, has only very recently started working on composing songs, animated by a keen interest in music (rock, trip-hop, electronica) and the political conscience which his observations generated.

Dunderhead's music gets stuck in your head and makes you think, which is not for everyone. It's a thinking man's anti-pop which is completely safe for kids. Very few people have noticed that Songs of Dunder begins and ends in the key of 'D', just like the name "Dunderhead". As far as we are aware, this is the first time this has ever been done. Not even Rolling Stone magazine picked up on it. For more information you can visit their web page on Garageband.com.

George of the City
(3.7 MB, running time: 3:52 min.)

This very good rock/pop/electronic song is by a French band called: "Square Syndrome." This song is loosely based around the popular cartoon song "George of the Jungle" and ridicules Bush as someone that "crashes into a tree" and "someone so stupid he doesn't realize he is so stupid that he sends young people to war." So the "discourse" used in the song is deliberately full of violent war-like bravado in the same pretentious and immature way this band and our site views Bush and his actions in Iraq. The song was recorded shortly after the attacks on 9/11.

More information on Square Syndrome: This band consists of five members who have been together since 1997. They've made about 50 songs and have played 100 concerts. The band consistes of a drummer, a guitarist/singer, a bass-player, a second guitarist, and a keyboard-computer player. They play a lot of music styles: pop, rock, jazz, metal, reggae, techno, and punk. You can find more information about Square Syndrome and their music on their web site in French. You can also hear four more of their songs online. You can contact: golgoth1000 [at] yahoo.fr to purchase their CDs.

More on "George of the Jungle" from the band: "It's true that this song could be seen as a pro-Bush song but these people would have to be real imbeciles. Between two sensible ears, it detracts even more from Bush's credibility in that when an attack [9/11] of this breadth happens, where one treats people the way a child treats an anthill, the representative of the victims (Bush) can't find anything else to say but 'are you fucking kidding me?' or 'this is America, we kick ass,' which is troubling after such an act.....George Bush is far from being a Rambo, but rather the equivalent of those immature enlightened found in plenty of fields who unfortunately form part of the sphere of the powerful and influential. One could say they are playing the game "RISK" with the world, without realizing that this has an impact on real human life: you, me. Beyond the desire for a culture shock between us, this is more a vision of our culture over another, which like everyone and everything, needs, at some point or other, an opinion from outside in order to expand one's ideas, and notice things one would never have noticed on one's own. In closing, one has to know that this discussion is practically impossible to find these days. In any case, I don't remember that the French have had any right to this poetic and humanist lecture. Is there some way to communicate to people close to Bush, who will have understood that the Europeans could have been shocked?

Good Ol' Jesus
(4.7 MB, running time: 4.58 min.)

This song is a "Thom Paine/Woody Guthrie" look at the religious right and the current administration by New York City singer/songwriter, Kevin Kane, from his latest CD. It's a song that sums it all up in a hauntingly wistful way, using theological insights, a self-evident reverence for life, and plenty of righteous indignation. What any decent person must feel in the face of the many things being said and done by the right wing, in the name of Good Ol' Jesus. Give this one a listen!

More information on Kevin Kane: Please visit Kevin Kane's web site Kanesongs.com for more information on his music and CDs.

Greasy, Oily Freedom
(4.5 MB, running time 4:52)

This is a blues/rock style protest song written by John McKay and preformed by the John McKay Band

About Greasy, Oily Freedom: I wrote Greasy, Oily Freedom last year when I was entering the poorist time in my life and Bush thought it was a good idea to go across the world and spend billions of dollars killing people so that's where the first line comes from: I sleep on the floor and watch the t.v. war and wonder what it's for - Iraqi freedom?

About the John McKay Band: The John McKay Band is an extremely talented group of musicians playing my songs (which I'd like to think are very good, aware creative tunes) We're opening for Leftover Salmon in a few weeks. Two of the guys have been touring with Dan Bern. The main reason we aren't well know is finances. Most people don't realize that to get a band to the masses you need lots of money. Maybe if I was on George's side and sent him a positive song promoting his side (won't ever happen) than I could get financing through his big fat rich cronies. I'd rather be unknown than look like shit through the eyes of the world. You can purchase a CD of their music by visiting their website.

Hey There America, Where You Goin'?
(3.4 MB, running time: 3:41)

"Hey There America" takes a look the country's current critical situation.
It was written and produced by Pete Travis with help the Second Story Garage Band, a group of elder folks meeting on occasional Tuesdays for the joy of creating homemade music. This is an exceptional and well done ballad we know you will enjoy.

More on Pete Travis: Pete is a retired telecom executive living in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. He has been writing music since the late 1950's. Over the years a few of his tunes have been published, but he reports the royalty checks to be more suitable for framing than cashing. A Viet Nam era Navy veteran, Pete has been opposed to the war since before
its beginning. He feels that there is not enough music jarring the apathy
of the American people to the war's terrible realities. Thus he's decided
to give it a go himself.

More on The Freedom Toast: These talented musicians have a web site where you can find more information about them and their CDs. The other CD is called: Sing Along with the Democrats. You can purchase either CD from their web site and/or listen to sample clips.

Houston Texas Dee Cee
(9.7 MB)

An excellent satirical anti-Bush folk song by songwriter Scott Morrison of Scotty and the Skeptics

About Scott Morrison: I've been writing for over 25 years--love ballads, rockers, country twangers, and the satirical and hopefully humorous commentaries that appear at Scotty and the Skeptics site. All the songs on the site are in my satirical/political mode, which seems to be my special niche, and were recorded as song demoes (simple arrangements, a few missed notes) to pitch to artists, producers, labels, etc.

I am the publisher of a line of well-known music education posters that are like roadmaps to harmony for guitar, keyboard, saxophone and other instruments. We produced our first product, The Guitar Poster, in 1980, and it has become a classic. They are available in thousands of musical instrument stores as well as directly from us at the site.

You can find the lyrics to Houston Texas Dee Cee posted on our website.

If You Laff
(4.3 MB, running time: 4:40)

This is a pop/rock song performed by the band, Hypoxia Beach. We also have the lyrics posted to this tune.

About this song: During the summer of 2002, David Morley, the songwriter, was touring Europe. It seemed clear to him at that point in time that Bush was committed to launching a war against Iraq. "It upset me a great deal and I penned the tune 'If You Laff'. I recorded it over the course of a year with like-minded musicians and released it under my independent band Hypoxia Beach about a month ago to ZeD. The lyrics are as relevant today as they were in the March to war during 2003."

About the band Hypoxia Beach: Hypoxia Beach creates idea driven music. They have two full length CD's to their credit, Society and Close Cover Before Striking. You can learn more about Hypoxia Beach and their music, including other downloads, by visiting their website.

Just Got Back (from Iraq and Nam)
(3.3 MB, running time: 3:31)

This is a terrific anti-war/protest pop/rock song by singer/songwriter and Austin, TX musician, Larry Piltz. It has been well-received in the Austin, TX area and has been sampled on Air America Radio.

More on this song: Just Got Back was recorded in December 2004 in Austin, Texas at Bismeaux Studios, a great place owned by Asleep at the Wheel, a grammy-winning Austin swing band led by Ray Benson. Local musicians, some of Austin's most experienced and creative, helped me finalize the arrangement. When I raise a band to promote this song and others, I plan to name it "Oily Bubba & the Party Thieves". This song began writing itself in 1984, the last time the Republicans were actively threatening to turn the good ol' USA into the Fascist States of America and blow up the world in the process (or is it the other way around?).

I was watching my very young son and his friends playing, against the background context of Reagan's wars against the poor of Central America, and wondered if they'd be called upon to do their imperial duty someday, when the lyrics and tune began flowing. I dusted off Just Got Back and updated it for the latest wars of aggression and their chorus of atrocities. Peace on and out.

More on AlteRockers: The AlteRockers (a play on a Yiddish term for oldster) started in 2002 to perform rock 'n' roll satires on Purim, a Jewish holiday in which parody is abundant. Lori Lippitz, a former cantorial soloist at the Jewish Reconstructionist Congregation in Evanston, Illinois, founded the band, which is composed of business and academic professionals who are passionate about playing rock 'n' roll.

With apologies to the original artists, the AlteRockers perform satires on various comprehensive categories, such as religion, politics and food. The ARs write topical satires and conclude every show with the Beatles classic, "Hey Jews," a call to social action and tikkun olam (repairing the world). Other notable titles include "(I Get By with) a Little Help From the Choir," "Saturday Night's All Right for Lighting," "Gimme Some Leaven" and "Hit Me With Your Bird Shot" (dedicated to Vice President Cheney). In 2008, the band released its first CD comprising two election-inspired numbers: "That's All Right, Obama" and "Keep on Barackin' Me." These singles are also available on the band's website, www.alterockers.com.

More on Iron Rain: Iron Rain defies being pigeon-holed into a musical corner and they are not just music but emanate a whole vision.

Some say they're the illegitimate children of Babes in Toyland and Black Sabbath. Now with that strange vision in your head, get ready for Cee, the Goddess of Guitar, and Beigh, the Baron of Bass - long time partners who have been making music together for over 10 years.

Together they create music that has something to say in an intelligent and sometimes sarcastic wit. They believe in what they stand for and that's what you hear in their sound. With strong songs of high impact, you can't help being dragged away by their music. Intertwining their musical creativeness and lyrical originality, many are surprised by their naughty playfulness that will take your breath away.
