Which song should I sing while dancing on Maggie Thatcher's grave?

1)Bob Dylan - Maggie's Farm
Although I'm not a Dylan fanatic I'd have to regard this a classic. Plus, it has 'Maggie' in the title.

2)Sydney Carter's "Lord of the Dance" hymn.
Unfortunately no amount of head trauma will remove this from my brain after singing it so often in primary school.

3)Refused - Refused Party Program
One man circle pit...you know you want to see it.

4)The Clash - I Fought The Law
How about that irony? Mmmmm...irony.

5)Joy Division - Love Will Tear Us Apart
I'm including this for the comedy factor.

How about Pink Floyd's "Fletcher Memorial Home"

take all your overgrown infants away somewhere
and build them a home a little place of their own
the fletcher memorial
home for incurable tyrants and kings

and they can appears to themselves every day
on closed circut t.v.
to make sure their still real
it's the only connection they feel
"ladies and gentlemen, please welcome reagan and haig
mr. begin and friend mrs. thatcher and paisley
mr. brezhnev and party
the ghost of nixon
and now adding colour a group of anonymous latin
american meat packing glitterati"

did they expect us to treat them with any respect

they can polish their medals and sharpen their
smails, and amuse themselves playing games for a while
boom boom, bang bang, lie down your dead

safe in the permanent gaze of a cold glass eye
with their favourite toys
they'll be good girls and boys
in the fletcher memorial home for colonial
wasters of life and limb

is everyone in?
are you having a nice time?
now the final solution can be applied

First off, the Clash's version of "I fought the law" is HORRIBLE. It makes blackboard screeching sound like a symphony.

Listen to Bobby Fuller Four - "I fought the law."

Well, just mind you get out the way while I piss on her grave...

But seriously, even though she is demented and left a brutal legacy on this country, do you really think celebrating any human being's death is a nice thing to do? Not especially enlightened me thinks.

Maybe I'm just being a spoilsport. I voted 'Love will tear us apart' - great song.

Green Day's version isn't too hot, either. The best is the original 1966 version by the Bobby Fuller Four. The Dead Kennedys did a good parody, which goes "I fought the law and I won". It's a very rough, raw recording.

Here's one that was nagging at the back of my mind - Elvis Costello's Tramp The Dirt Down - a song written for just this situation:

-snipped lyrics for the sake of brevity-

...

Well I hope I don't die too soon
I pray the Lord my soul to save
Oh I'll be a good boy, I'm trying so hard to behave
Because there's one thing I know, I'd like to live
long enough to savour
That's when they finally put you in the ground
I'll stand on your grave and tramp the dirt down

When England was the whore of the world
Margaret was her madam
And the future looked as bright and as clear as
the black tarmacadam
Well I hope that she sleeps well at night, isn't
haunted by every tiny detail
'Cos when she held that lovely face in her hands
all she thought of was betrayal

...

Well I hope you live long now, I pray the Lord your soul to keep
I think I'll be going before we fold our arms and start to weep
I never thought for a moment that human life could be so cheap
'Cos when they finally put you in the ground
They'll stand there laughing and tramp the dirt down


Another option would, of course, be The Not-Sensible's 'I'm In Love With Margaret Thatcher'. Kudos if anyone but me actually knows that tune.

It may be irrelevant to the issue as a whole, but "Where Eagles Dare" by the Misfits has a fitting chorus.

On a more serious note, there's an awful lot of people in the UK who want to dance on Maggie's grave. So I've always wondered, when the time comes, how will they manage the process? Will there be an equivalent of a lying in state with orderly queues, or will it be more of a free-for-all? Will music be provided, or will one have the option of bringing a favoured CD/MP3 file or whatever to play over the PA system?

I think there should be sponsored disco dancing competitions. They could raise money for charity.

Well, that's why I'm thinking they'll need to manage the process somehow. You don't really want the revellers disrupting the church services (or disturbing the tourists, depending on the church). Maybe they could open up the church for a Friday night/Saturday morning rave or something.

Going Underground by The Jam

Some people might say my life is in a rut,
But I'm quite happy with what I got
People might say that I should strive for more,
But I'm so happy I can't see the point.
Somethings happening here today
A show of strength with your boy's brigade and,
I'm so happy and you're so kind
You want more money - of course I don't mind
To buy nuclear textbooks for atomic crimes

And the public gets what the public wants
But I want nothing this society's got -
I'm going underground, (going underground)
Well the brass bands play and feet start to pound
Going underground, (going underground)
Well let the boys all sing and the boys all shout for tomorrow

Some people might get some pleasure out of hate
Me, I've enough already on my plate
People might need some tension to relax
[Me?] I'm too busy dodging between the flak

What you see is what you get
You've made your bed, you better lie in it
You choose your leaders and place your trust
As their lies wash you down and their promises rust
You'll see kidney machines replaced by rockets and guns

And the public wants what the public gets
But I don't get what this society wants
I'm going underground, (going underground)
Well the brass bands play and feet start to pound
Going underground, (going underground)
[So] let the boys all sing and the boys all shout for tomorrow

We talk and we talk until my head explodes
I turn on the news and my body froze
The braying sheep on my TV screen
Make this boy shout, make this boy scream!

Going underground, I'm going underground!

Margaret Thatcher Isn't Dead (thank God!), How Many Times Do I Have To Tell You!

I think he's planning in advance. You know, it's good to be well prepared for such eventualities. :)

EDIT: And no, I don't condone dancing on people's graves or singing while doing so.

I wouldn't fance on her grave, but instead salute her statue while singing "Jerusalem". She was a woman who took the right action when no-one believed in her and she always came out fighting, which seems t be bst for us. Then we had the Major ffair and the Blair's moved in. Now we're going to have th Brown's next door.

How about a slow dance to 'Eulogy' by Tool? It's about a 'him' but otherwise it's quite fitting...

He had alot to say.
He had alot of nothing to say.
We'll miss him.

So long.
We wish you well.
You told us how you weren't afraid to die.
Well then, so long.
Don't cry.
Or feel too down.
Not all martyrs see divinity.
But at least you tried.

Standing above the crowd,
He had a voice that was strong and loud.
We'll miss him.
Ranting and pointing his finger
At everything but his heart.
We'll miss him.

No way to recall
What it was that you had said to me,
Like I care at all.

So loud.
You sure could yell.
You took a stand on every little thing
And so loud.

Standing above the crowd,
He had a voice so strong and loud and I
Swallowed his facade cuz I'm so
Eager to identify with
Someone above the ground,
Someone who seemed to feel the same,
Someone prepared to lead the way, with
Someone who would die for me.

Will you? Will you now?
Would you die for me?
Don't you f**kin lie.

Don't you step out of line.
Don't you f**kin lie.

You've claimed all this time that you would die for me.
Why then are you so surprised to hear your own eulogy?

You had alot to say.
You had alot of nothing to say.

Come down.
Get off your f**kin cross.
We need the f**kin space to nail the next fool martyr.

To ascend you must die.
You must be crucified
For your sins and your lies. [sic]
Goodbye...

Who is to say that we should bury Thatcher when she dies?

Who is to say that we should not drag her body through the streets, alive or dead, impale her decapitated head on a pike that will then visit every British city, town and village for the great masses to throw projectiles at and deface, while her body is hung from her ankles by the nearest lampost?

And room would be made for the same treatment for Blair and his cronies, and Bush and his cronies.

Tramp the Dirt Down

I saw a newspaper picture from the political campaign
A woman was kissing a child, who was obviously in pain
She spills with compassion, as that young child’s
Face in her hands she grips
Can you imagine all that greed and avarice
Coming down on that child’s lips

Well I hope I don’t die too soon
I pray the lord my soul to save
Oh I’ll be a good boy, I’m trying so hard to behave
Because there’s one thing I know, I’d like to live
Long enough to savour
That’s when they finally put you in the ground
I’ll stand on your grave and tramp the dirt down

When england was the whore of the world
Margeret was her madam
And the future looked as bright and as clear as
The black tarmacadam
Well I hope that she sleeps well at night, isn’t
Haunted by every tiny detail
’cos when she held that lovely face in her hands
All she thought of was betrayal

And now the cynical ones say that it all ends the same in the long run
Try telling that to the desperate father who just squeezed the life from his only son
And how it’s only voices in your head and dreams you never dreamt
Try telling him the subtle difference between justice and contempt
Try telling me she isn’t angry with this pitiful discontent
When they flaunt it in your face as you line up for punishment
And then expect you to say thank you straighten up, look proud and pleased
Because you’ve only got the symptoms, you haven’t got the whole disease
Just like a schoolboy, whose head’s like a tin-can
Filled up with dreams then poured down the drain
Try telling that to the boys on both sides, being blown to bits or beaten and maimed
Who takes all the glory and none of the shame

Well I hope you live long now, I pray the lord your soul to keep
I think I’ll be going before we fold our arms and start to weep
I never thought for a moment that human life could be so cheap
’cos when they finally put you in the ground
They’ll stand there laughing and tramp the dirt down

'which side are you on'
by the dropkick murphys

Our father was a union man some day i'll be one too.
The bosses fired daddy what's our family gonna do?
Come all you good workers good news to you
I'll tell of how the good old union has come in here to dewll.

[Chorus:]
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?

My daddy was miner and I'm a miner's son
and I'll stick with the union 'til every battles done.

They say in Marlan County there are no neutrals there
you'll either be a union man or a thug for J.H. Blair

Oh workers can you stand it?
Oh tell me how you can will you be a lousy scab or will you be a man?
Don't scab for the bosses don't listen to their lies
us poor folks haven't got a chance unless we organize.
