miloauckerman (miloauckerman), Tuesday, 11 March 2003 20:28 (twenty-three years ago)

"Bushwar" sounds like it could be:

A) a great military-themed porno flick
B) a showdown between Bushmen tribes

nickalicious (nickalicious), Tuesday, 11 March 2003 20:37 (twenty-three years ago)

A great anti-song from the previous Bushwar (the Bush senior edition):
Prefab Sprout: "The Sound Of Crying".

Geir Hongro (GeirHong), Tuesday, 11 March 2003 20:38 (twenty-three years ago)

The anti-bushwar songs you should search will come out after the fact. These types of songs are always just a bit too late nowdays.

Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Tuesday, 11 March 2003 21:05 (twenty-three years ago)

for sure:

"dear president bush, there are 500 word for shit and one word for music. fuck you, out hud" - out hud.

marcg (marcg), Tuesday, 11 March 2003 21:16 (twenty-three years ago)

Which disposable heroes song has the line,

"Bagdad lit up like a christmas tree,
it was the christian thing to do, you see'

I can't find my copy of the album.

Ed (dali), Tuesday, 11 March 2003 21:18 (twenty-three years ago)

George Michael to thread.

maria b (maria b), Tuesday, 11 March 2003 21:33 (twenty-three years ago)

Winter of the Long Hot Summer.
Bushwar, I love how its like throwing shit at a wall to see if it sticks in trying to come up with derogatory names for things one doesn't like.

Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Tuesday, 11 March 2003 21:43 (twenty-three years ago)

Mellencamp, Live, and Jonatha Brooke all have anti-war songs out now. I think they're all available on their respective websites. Coincidentally, none of them currently have major label deals. (Unless someone can confirm that Live weren't dropped from MCA)

teeny (teeny), Tuesday, 11 March 2003 21:45 (twenty-three years ago)

"none of them currently have major label deals"

Speaking of that, The Beastie Boys (whose boutique label went under) have just relesed a downloadable single today that blasts the war.

Charles McCain, Tuesday, 11 March 2003 22:13 (twenty-three years ago)

Search: Whatever the name of that Higher Intelligence Authority tune is.

Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Tuesday, 11 March 2003 22:14 (twenty-three years ago)

Search: Son Of A Bush - Public Enemy, mainly for Flavor Flav wailing about how the US president is the son of baaad maan!

JoB (JoB), Tuesday, 11 March 2003 22:53 (twenty-three years ago)

Sage Francis - Makeshift Patriot

Jeff-PTTL (Jeff), Tuesday, 11 March 2003 23:28 (twenty-three years ago)

you people are SLEEPIN - Paris' "Bushkillah" of course!!

Shakey Mo Collier, Tuesday, 11 March 2003 23:31 (twenty-three years ago)

I haven't heard the new Mellencamp tune yet, but I'm willing to destroy it anyway.

Burr, Tuesday, 11 March 2003 23:42 (twenty-three years ago)

Although it was originally for daddy..
"Don't Burn The Flag.Let's Burn The Bush- Eugene Chadbourne and the Sun City Girls

brg30 (brg30), Tuesday, 11 March 2003 23:55 (twenty-three years ago)

DESTROY DESTROY DESTROY "Let's Roll"

and destroy every Beasties Boys track ever, on principle

roger adultery (roger adultery), Wednesday, 12 March 2003 00:12 (twenty-three years ago)

"Let's Roll" sux0r (and I am a huge Neil fan) but I don't think it count's as anti-bushwar.

teeny (teeny), Wednesday, 12 March 2003 02:14 (twenty-three years ago)

no - it's kinda pro war - confusing really - either way - that 'fighting evil on the wings of a dove' or whatever makes Manowar sound like Ezra Pound

roger adultery (roger adultery), Wednesday, 12 March 2003 04:15 (twenty-three years ago)

Which disposable heroes song has the line,
"The Winter of the Long Hot Summer"

Lord Custos Epsilon (Lord Custos Epsilon), Wednesday, 12 March 2003 04:50 (twenty-three years ago)

Chris Morris - Bushwhacked (ok, not a song..)
Company Flow - Patriotism

Wyndham Earl, Wednesday, 12 March 2003 05:11 (twenty-three years ago)

Square Dance!

Wrong button to push, no friend of Bush

All this terror, America demands action
next thing you know, you've got Uncle Sam's ass askin'
to join their Army or what you'll do for their Navy
You just a baby, gettin' recruited at 18

Never understood why those lyrics being on the biggest selling album of 2002 didn't attract more attention. I'da thought Bill O'Reilly would at least get worked up about it.

Jesse Fox Mayshark (Jesse Fox), Wednesday, 12 March 2003 07:50 (twenty-three years ago)

ten months pass...
Beware of the Boys = Best Anti-Bushwar song

sym (shmuel), Tuesday, 13 January 2004 09:40 (twenty-two years ago)

Dr. Ring Ding, "Bombs Over Baghdad"

OCP (OCP), Tuesday, 13 January 2004 09:53 (twenty-two years ago)

Is it a cover?

sym (shmuel), Tuesday, 13 January 2004 09:59 (twenty-two years ago)

Search: Zack de la Rocha - March of Death

Audio-what?

Simon H., Tuesday, 13 January 2004 11:40 (twenty-two years ago)

"Paid Vacation" by the Circle Jerks


It's Not Vietnam
it's another Oil Company Scam!
Better Salute that Flag for Uncle Sam.
Get yer Money and Place yer bets - IT'S AFGHANISTAN!

So fix bayonettes, check grenades!
Got enough bullets, got enough bombs to..
WIPE OUT THIS PLACE!
We're the infanty, and the cavalry.
Parachutes fill the sky
Bodies Burn & People Die!

Recorded in...er...1980, tho'.

Alex in NYC (vassifer), Tuesday, 13 January 2004 12:51 (twenty-two years ago)

any sonic youth songs ?

george gosset (gegoss), Tuesday, 13 January 2004 14:25 (twenty-two years ago)

Sonic Youth's "Youth Against Fascism" works.

Especially if you change the lyric "I believe Anita Hill" to "I believe Paul O'Neill"
