fiddle tunes to the musical country Bruce
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." |

Game
Over
(4.2
MB, running time: 4:24)
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. 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
visit his new website for more information
and to hear more of his music. |
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? |

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
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. |

Home
on the Range
(2.7
MB, running time: 2:54)
Home
on the Range
is a very funny and clever remake of the
original song by a terrific group of musicians
from Atlanta, GA called The Freedom Toast.
This song is from their new CD called: Sing
Along with the Republicans. Don't be
misled by the CD title. Their CD ridicules
the far right, the GOP, and Bush by remaking
popular music in their own clever style
and with their own clever lyrics.
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

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.
