Hopefully this is old news for most of our United States Townspeople, but don’t forget to VOTE! I won’t tell you who to vote for, but I will tell you that Drive-By Truckers have posted a song for free download on their website through today, on this election day. Check it out.
In the spirit of election day, we’re posting a few election-themed songs for the soundtrack to your personal voting booth. Enjoy. And vote!
James Blood Ulmer, “Election”
Neil Young, “The Campaigner”
Robyn Hitchcock, “The President”
The Clash, “Washington Bullets”
Curtis Mayfied, “Choice of Colors”
The Who, “Won’t Get Fooled Again”
Woody Guthrie, “This Land Is Your Land”
It looks like Obama’s won! Should be cool!
Signed Sealed Delivered makes a pretty cool theme song too. “You’ve got the future in your hand.”
I’m gonna be pretty pissed off if it’s “meet the new boss, same as the old boss” when a bunch of clowns kept me up until 4 last night with their racket. At about 3 am I was beginning to feel like the guy in Get Off Of My Cloud.
I’ve always been partial to The New World by X. 2 great lines: “Honest to goodness, the bars weren’t open this morning, they must have been voting for the president or something” and “It was better before, before they voted for what’s his name”. I tend to have that song repeating in my head every election day.
