Songs / Artists

A Special Place In Hell - Four Years Under the Boot Heel of George W. Bush by Bill Jabanoski

Political folk in the grand tradition of Seeger & Ochs. An eleven song album, with songs concentrating on the Iraq war. Roadkill Bill, probably best known, these days, for his hit CDS, THE KEY WEST PARTY CD and BEACH BUM BOOTLEG, is also the author of one of the most popular internet fiction columns, ROADKILL WEEKLY, and known for the thousands of journalistic works he's filed from everywhere from Southern Africa to the four months he spent reporting on the war in Iraq between March and June of last year. A few songs are available for free download at Amazon.com, including In The Court of Mad King George.

The Burning Bush by Davey Jay

Vigorous acoustic guitar with vocals. 'Jay's second song dedicated to everyone's [least] favorite president, The Burning Bush is played in a style reminiscent of the late Johnny Cash'.

Bush It / Send George Bush a Pretzel [CD-SINGLE] by Darryl Cherney and the Chernobles

Musical commentary on Bush, pretzels and more by the Earth First! Activist and one time codefendant of Judi Bari. Samples and paid downloads available at itunes.

Fool Me Once by Jim Clark

Nice country rock retelling of Bush's famous inhibition. Words, chords and some directions to the MP3 are posted at the top of the page of the this URL at the Democratic Underground list.

Don't Misunderestimate Me by The Neocons

'An alternative campaign song'. Low key heartfelt country explaining the Bush situation. Makes ya sort of like the guy (tho maybe not vote for him).

fun with bush vol3 - terrible sadness by djconcrete

Heavy destruction drums & repeated Bush samples: 'terrible sadness''.

Gana Dinero by The Hashpipers

Parody on Guantanamera with added Spanish lesson & discussion. Like in the original, the song is in Spanish and the spoken translation is in English. Rated G. "Bush es un hombre insincero..." Artist quote: "Jose Marti [Cuban hero & writer of the words to Guantanamera] sounded like the kind of cat who probably partied 'til dawn, too, at least when no one was shooting at him. We think Jose would be proud of "Gana Dinero" and agree that George W. has no clue about real patriotism." Part of the Austin TX-based Georgy Bush Project.

George W. from Texas (10 Gallon Smirk) by Bill Oliver and the Lost Otters

Funky, lively country to the tune of Long Tall Texan. "I'm George W. from Texas, we lead the states in dirty air (he rides from Texas with polluted air); I'm George W. from Texas, we lead the states in dirty air (Grandfather clauses and polluted air); We could save the last sea turtles, but they don't vote so I don't care" Artist song description: "If GW is such a great governor, keep him in Texas! If he's not . . . we sure as hell don't want him in D.C.!"

George's House by Unidentified Flying Orchestra

Nice smooth cooking rock. "I went to George's House for dinner, the servants let me in..." Artist's description: Before Clinton, there was George; after Clinton, there may be George again. Down in the Washington war zone, there will probably always be George -- pretending everything is okay when 'a family is a value that is truly on the Right.' For your protection, here's a power-rocking vaccine in the form of a recent history lesson, the likes of which you'll never get in school".

Georgy Bush by The Publicity Seekers

Weird Al-style parody of the old Seekers' hit Georgy Girl. "Hey there, Georgy Bush, Swinging 'round the country fancy free, Nobody you meet could ever see the cluelessness there -- inside you." From the artists' Mission statement: "The fight to defeat Georgy Bush isn't just about politics. It's about making sure that we elect intelligent, progressive leaders, rather than the usual bunch of wealthy, selfish dumbasses." Part of Austin TX-based Georgy Bush Project.

Hardball/ Fortunate Son [cd single]. by Vic Bondi

From alternativetentacles.com (home to many other alternative books & CDs): Vic Bondi started his career as a protest singer. He then went on to form Articles Of Faith, Jones Very and Alloy. On his new ep (his first new material in 8 years), Vic has come full-circle. The threat of war has inspired him to release some protest material : so he wrote and recorded Hardball - a rockin assault against George W. - at the end of 2002 as well as covering John Fogerty's Fortunate Son - the single best song about class and war ever written. The CD includes 2 other songs by Articles of Faith. Paid download available at itunes.

I'm George W. by George Mann & Julius Margolis

An anthemic reinterpretation of Oh Suzanna. 'I'm George W., don't you cry for me, I've come all the way from Texas just as dumb as I can be; I'm George W., don't you cry for me, Now I've made it to the White House- that's in Washington, DC'. Labor folkies George & Julius 'combine social and labor history with music and a dose of slapstick'. Their website features downloadable mp3s of I'm George W & other Bush-related songs, plus lots of RealAudio excerpts from their latest album, Hail to the Theif.

imagine... walk on the wild side by rx

King George II by bjbleu

Artist description: Uptempo Rock song, written shortly after the younger Bush took office in 2001. At which time I became totally convinced of my life-long belief that our two main political parties are just one ruling class elite who will do anything to get more money and more power. Samples on the page; paid downloads at itunes.

John McCutcheon MP3s

A page where John McCutcheon parks some topical songs that might or might not make it into an album -- like Dick Cheney or Ashcroft's Army. 12 MP3s available for free download. Says McCutcheon: "Many of the songs I'm writing these days have an immediacy that makes the usual route of recording, CD production, etc. antithetical to their purpose.".

NRA by The Austin Trio

Parody on the old Kingston Trio MTA song. It's pretty much just like being there at the Hungry i until the random fuzz-tone guitar kicks in. "Oh, will he ever learn-no, he never will learn / With our fate, he's unconcerned (what a pity) / He will side forever with that ol' gun lobby / He's a man who never will learn" An excerpt from the artists' extensive explanation of their career: "As good bands change and mature with time, so we've done, and not without growing pains. We struggled with leadership and haggled over details. There were conflicts to keep egos in check, mostly trying to satisfy newcomer, Bradley Von Ripptrapp. He pushed the limit, but (as you'll hear) his amazingly improvised lead guitar solos have completed our performances beyond even what we had hoped for." Part of Austin TX-based Georgy Bush Project.

Revolution Starts Now by Steve Earle

"Earle rushed The Revolution Starts ... Now to stores ahead of the 2004 presidential election, and given that timing and the songwriter's righteous lefty stance, the disc's topical content should surprise exactly no one. Even still, it's light on invective, allowing Earle's deftly drawn characters to make his points for him." (from amazon.com reviewer Anders Smith Lindall). Samples available at Amazon.com, paid downloads available at itunes.

Sorry George, my vote is not for sale by Ferriss & Leps

Lively unorthodox fiddle tune. "Now he's runnin for the big poobah, gonna get the rich folk theirs". Artist's description: "Swampgrass stomper about some guy named George who likes to buy goats, boats and votes".
