Springsteen, Bob Seger and Lynyrd Skynyrd
live in. Celtic Folks like Enya, Loreena
McKennitt, Altan and others have been strong
influences on the Celtic side.
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." |

by SoulPrawn that combines Bush's voice
with hip electronic music set to a great

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. His very
first compositions are a series of criticisms
of Bush's corrupt regime and it's impact
on America and the world, in which Bush's
voice is used to sing anti-Bush messages.
Please

Georgie
Boy
(2.2
MB, running time: 2:27)
This is a well-crafted rock song that ridicules Bush by the garageband, Dunderhead.
More on Dunderhead: Dunderhead released Songs of Dunder in 1995, which got some good reviews and made it onto WPKN's Radio Nothing's playlists #932 and #936. Radio Nothing is as cool as it gets. 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!

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

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. |

original song by a terrific group of musicians
from Atlanta, GA called The Freedom Toast.
This song is from their new CD called: Sing

the far right, the GOP, and Bush by remaking
popular music in their own clever style
and with their own clever lyrics.

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.

(4.3

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.

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. |
Keep on Barackin' Me
(3.8
MB, running time: 4:12)
If you're looking for a really terrific Pro-Obama song that rocks with great lyrics and music, then download this excellent song by the group AlteRockers. "Keep on Barackin' Me" is a remake of Steve Miller's "Keep on Rockin' Me Baby". It's part of their Obamarama Sessions. Please also visit their website to find more music by Alte Rockers.
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. |
