Coming home from Viva la Fiasco last night, my wife and I were listening to the radio, and a song came on, and I said to her, "this is our Cheeto's theme song.

#1 Incubus - Meglomaniac, for obvious reasons.
#2 Then, we hear, Green Day's.., American Idiot, again for obvious reasons.
#3 Going back a few decades, Tin Soldiers.
#4 Going back, again, and not so politically, but, controversial because LBJ banned the song from air waves "White Rabbit" by the Jefferson Airplane.
#5 "I want to be elected" by Alice Cooper. BTW... one of my favorites.

What say you, oh, wise one's :smokin:

lots of good replies.
What was I thinking on the OP?
Living Color's "Cult of Personality," almost better than #1 :foreheadslap:

easily one of the best Talking Heads songs ever....it's on my bike ride mp3 bouillabaisse

I see the states, across this big nation
I see the laws made in Washington D.C
I think of the ones I consider my favorites
I think of the people that are working for me
Some civil servants are just like my loved ones
They work so hard and they try to be strong
I'm a lucky guy to live in my building
They own the buildings to help them along
I think about these lyrics a lot when we get in to the *clerks* arguments.

when you look at the people around you at any given time and you think
about all the different strokes in any given organization, large or small, the
notion of any large scale, coordinated conspiracy seems almost impossibly
unlikely.

I'll be working, working but if you come visit
I'll put down what I'm doing, my friends are important
where in the world is PPK?!?!?!
