If George W. Bush could change the national anthem, what song do you think he'd pick?

[SemiCharmedQuark]

I say he'd pick "Rock you Like a Hurricane" by Scorpions. I can totally see him landing on an aircraft carrier to that.

[Ezlivin]

[Atmashine]

7. Imperial March

8. Deutschland Uber Alles

or some other nazi piece of crap, given his family has such close ties.

[MADem]

10. Heh, I thought the same thing. He'd change the title to BushLand Uber Alles. NT

[kineneb]

62. na, the music was composed by Joseph Haydn, 1797

Not Nazi at all, they appropraited it, like many other things... lyrics they used were written in mid-19th century.


original words:
Gott erhalte Franz, den Kaiser,
Unsern guten Kaiser Franz!
Lange lebe Franz, der Kaiser,
In des Glückes hellstem Glanz!
Ihm erblühen Lorbeerreiser,
Wo er geht, zum Ehrenkranz!
|: Gott erhalte Franz, den Kaiser,
Unsern guten Kaiser Franz! :|



too high class for George Boy... original first line (trans)- "God save Franz, the Kaiser"...

I vote for some really bad country-western ballad, with dead dogs and trucks, cheating girlfriend/wife, beer, etc.

12. First, he would have to look up the word "anthem"...

and then he'd probably pick "Idiot" by Coldplay.

[Paulie]

13. The theme from "Fantasy Island"

De Plane De Plane "Iraq-an has WMD's, and that's my fantasy Mr. Roarke."

I'll eat them whole before I'm done
The battle's fought and the game is won
I am the one, the only one
I am the God of Kingdom Come
Just gimme the prize"




*sigh* Just typing those lyrics make me sad. Oh, Highlander. Such a good TV series, but such crappy movies (except the first one, of course).

[SKKY]

17. "Closer" by Nine Inch Nails...

You let me violate you.
You let me desecrate you.
You let me penetrate you.
You let me complicate you.

25. Deutchland uber alles

[kineneb]

63. nope, too classy for him... see#62

I knew that upper-division class on Joseph Haydn would come in handy some day... at least the Nazis recognized a good anthem when they heard one...and then steal it (Haydn would have been appalled, since it was written for an Austrian!)

[ret5hd]

26. Something by Wagner.

[kineneb]

65. more appropriate than Haydn

some particularly bombastic selection... ok, most of Wagner is like that...

[tanyev]

27. Beans, beans, the musical fruit.

Heh, heh, heh.

I'm gonna take his place
Gonna vindicate the human race

Better watch out
'Cause I'm a war machine
Better watch out
'Cause I'm a war machine, yeah

Take the reins of power and seize them
Draw the battle lines
Armageddon's just a matter of time

Tear down the voice of reason

46. The folk song "George's Son" by Brass Monkey

(In which George's son listens to the devil - Dick Cheney? - and drives everyone off a cliff!)


George's Son

There was George and there was George's son
Two finer dogs there never did run
They ran the sheep and they ran them well
And George's son, he could run like hell

Oh one dark night when all were safe asleep
To George's son, some devil did creep
Saying show your master, come show him true
What young George's son with them sheep can do

And how they scrambled and how they flew
And how they thundered that parish through
How high the cliff he drove them along
Oh, and in his ears was that devil's song

Their clattering bells roused the shepherd bold
And at that sound, oh his blood ran cold
And he prayed for mercy with all his might
Saying some demon rides with my sheep this night

And quickly quickly he ran the ground
And quickly quickly that cliff he found
And quickly quickly he raised his gun
And the devil smiled on young George's son.

A flock was lost and a fortune too
And a brisk young farmer cold ruin knew
To some laboring job he was forced to come
But his saddest loss was young George's son.

There was George and there was George's son
Two finer dogs there never did run
They ran the sheep and they ran them well
And George's son, he could run like hell

[KamaAina]

von der Mississippi bis an die Colorado,
von der Erie bis an den Gulf,
Homeland, Homeland über alles,
Über alles in der Welt!

Amerikanische Frauen, Amerikanische Treue,
Amerikanische Wein und Amerikanische Sang
sollen in der Welt behalten
ihren alten schönen Klang,
uns zu edler Tat begeistern
unser ganzes Leben lang.
Amerikanische Frauen, Amerikanische Treue,
Amerikanische Wein und Amerikanische Sang!

Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit
für das Amerikanische Vaterland!
Danach laßt uns alle streben
brüderlich mit Herz und Hand!
Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit
sind des Glückes Unterpfand;
Blüh im Glanze dieses Glückes,
blühe, Amerikanische Vaterland.

87. "I'm gonna' hire a wino to decorate our home" by David Frizzell

I came crawling home last night, like many nights before:
I finally made it to my feet as she opened up the door.
And she said, "You're not gonna do this anymore."

She said: "I'm gonna' hire a wino to decorate our home,
"So you'll feel more at ease here, and you won't have to roam.
"We'll take out the dining room table, and put a bar along that wall.
"And a neon sign, to point the way, to our bathroom down the hall."

She said: "Just bring your Friday paycheck, and I'll cash them all right here.
"And I'll keep on tap - for all your friends, their favorite kinds of beer.
"And for you, I'll always keep in stock, those soft aluminum cans.
"And when you're feeling macho, you can crush them like a man."

She said: "We'll rip out all the carpet, and put sawdust on the floor.
"Serve hard boiled eggs and pretzels, and I won't cook no more.
"There'll be Monday night football, on T.V. above the bar.
"And a pay phone in the hallway, when your friends can't find their car."

She said: "I'm gonna' hire a wino to decorate our home,
"So you'll feel more at ease here, and you won't have to roam.
"We'll take out the dining room table, and put a bar along that wall.
"And a neon sign, to point the way, to our bathroom down the hall."

She said: "You'll get friendly service, and for added atmosphere.
"I'll slip on something sexy, and I'll cut it clear to here.
"Then you can slap my bottom, every time you tell a joke.
"Just as long as you keep tipping, well, I'll laugh until you're broke."

She said: "Instead of family quarrels, we'll have a bar-room brawl,
"When the Ham's bear say's its closing time, you won't have far to crawl.
"And when you run out of money, you'll have me to thank.
"You can sleep it off next morning, when I'm putting it in the bank."

She said: "I'm gonna' hire a wino, to decorate our home,
"So you can feel more at ease here, and you won't have to roam.
"When you and your friends get off from work, and have a powerful thirst.
"There won't be any reason, why you can't stop off here first."

She said: "I'm gonna' hire a wino to decorate our home,
"So you'll feel more at ease here, and you won't have to roam.
"We'll take out the dining room table, and put a bar along that wall.
"And a neon sign, to point the way, to our bathroom down the hall."

93. Perhaps 'Bully in the Alley' by Ian Telfer and John L. Jones

Bully In The Alley

lan Telfer/John L. Jones


This is what they told him:
Go down if you must but don't stay long
You're a fool if you trust the kids you play among
Better look sharp on your way home, son
There's a bully in the alley want to spoil your fun
So be ready night and day
Stand up for your right of way
There's a bully in the alley He'll do his worst
There's a bully in the alley He won't fear your curse
There's a bully in the alley Get your boot in first
That's what they told him

If you want to win nothing's really wrong
You're a fool if you trust the men you deal among
Better look out for number one
Or he'll do you down just to see you run
So be ready night and day
Stand up for your right of way
There's a bully in the alley He'll do his worst
There's a bully in the alley He won't fear your curse
There's a bully in the alley Get your bid in first
That's what they told him

Out in the darkness he lies in wait
On each knuckle 'hate' and 'hate'
What you sow is what you reap
And the bully in the alley never never sleeps

For liberty we must be strong
You're a fool if you trust this world we live among
Now look sharp till the fight is won
There's a bully in the alley with a bigger gun
So be ready night and day
Stand up for you right of way
There's a bully in the alley He'll do his worst
There's a bully in the alley He won't fear your curse
There's a bully in the alley Get your boot in first
That's what they tell us

[Tsiyu]

94. "I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts"

At least that's what my 13-year-old son thinks :)


"I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts
There they are a standing in a row
Big ones, small ones, some as big as yer head!
Give em a twist, a flick of the wrist
That's what the showman said



I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts
Every ball you throw will make me rich
There stands me wife, the idol of me life
singing 'roll a bowl a ball - a penny a pitch...."
