So, if you wanted to make a theme music album for NS General, which songs would you put on it?

If you can (ie it's not illegal), try to include links to samples or full songs so those who don't know them can listen. Lyrics could be good too.

I'll start with two suggestions:

1) Randy Newman - "Political Science" (http://www.amazon.com/gp/music/clipserve/B000065DVA001007/0/ref=mu_sam_wma_001_007/103-4914454-0771849)
That could almost be the title track, it fits that well.
No one likes us-i don’t know why
We may not be perfect, but heaven knows we try
But all around, even our old friends put us down
Let’s drop the big one and see what happens

We give them money-but are they grateful?
No, they’re spiteful and they’re hateful
They don’t respect us-so let’s surprise them
We’ll drop the big one and pulverize them

Asia’s crowded and europe’s too old
Africa is far too hot
And canada’s too cold
And south america stole our name
Let’s drop the big one
There’ll be no one left to blame us

We’ll save australia
Don’t wanna hurt no kangaroo
We’ll build an all american amusement park there
They got surfin’, too

Boom goes london and boom paree
More room for you and more room for me
And every city the whole world round
Will just be another american town
Oh, how peaceful it will be
We’ll set everybody free
You’ll wear a japanese kimono
And there’ll be italian shoes for me

They all hate us anyhow
So let’s drop the big one now
Let’s drop the big one now

2) George W Bush - "Dick is a Killer" (http://media2.audiostreet.net/playsong.m3u?mode=StreamLo&song=2FF39FF2F2054513BF34E47894A0352B)
Hehehehe....

Oh oh, yes that song is perfect it's been one of my random favourites for ages. Most of my friends haven't heard of him or the song though (as im still at highschool)... or if they do know him it's from that toystory song... you gotta friend in me... or something like that...

Yeah i love that song.

Pink Floyd 'The Wall'-All parts of course.

Ok, I thought of more I missed. They'd go in between Minority & The Shit Song.

Ryan Adams & The Cardinals - Life Is Beautiful
Monty Python - The Argument Sketch

These days? Immigrant Song by Led Zeppelin.

Also fitting: Beatbox (Skit) (http://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/clipserve/B0002GSOJG001009/028-7042505-1527709) by Samy Deluxe.

:D

Monty Python - The Argument Sketch
Winner!!!!
:D

Oh, my two cents ... erm, "Democracy" by Leonard Cohen.
First to pop into mind.
Then perhaps "Speak" by Queensryche.
Of course, more later, but sleep time now.

Blue Monday by New Order

You know, just a few meters from your computer, and outside a door, is this wonderous place, called 'the real world'. I know you've seen it on GoogleEarth, but I assure you it's much for fun to actually visit.

You know I love you, Neo!

Thanks to a 5 m long network cable I happen to be sitting in the sun outside my window, and posting this. :cool:
#Sunshine, lollipops and NSGeneral#

...this wonderous place, called 'the real world'...
But it always wants things from me! Like assignments. And doctor's appointments.

Monty Python's Spam song would have there.

The Mortal Kombat theme. Considering all the viciousness that gets flung around here it seems pretty appropriate :D

Yeah... I'm a liar

Neo: Whoa. Deja vu.

Trinity: What did you just say?

Neo: Nothing. Just had a little deja vu.

Trinity: What happened? What did you see?

Neo: A black cat went past us and then I saw another that looked just like it.

Trinity: How much like it? Was it the same cat?

Neo: It might have been. I'm not sure. What is it?

Trinity: A deja vu is usually a glitch in the Matrix. It happens when they change something.

"Me So Horny" by 2 Live Crew should be in there somewhere.

Dennis Leary
Asshole

Folks, I'd like to sing a song about the American dream.
About me, about you, about the way our American hearts beat way down
in the bottom of our chests. About the special feeling we get in the
cockles of our hearts, maybe below the cockles, maybe in the subcockle
area. Maybe in the liver. Maybe in the kidneys. Maybe even in the
colon, we don't know.
(Sung)
I'm just a regular Joe with a regular job.
I'm your average white suburbanite slob.
I like football and p*rno and books about war.
I've got an average house with a nice hardwood floor.
My wife and my job, my kids and my car.
My feet on my table and a cuban cigar.
But sometimes that just ain't enough to keep a man like me interested
(oh no) no way (uh-uh)
No, I've gotta go out and have fun at someone else's expense
(oh yeah) Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
I drive really slow in the ultra-fast lane,
While people behind me are going insane.
I'm an a**hole (He's an a**hole, what an a**hole)
I'm an a**hole (He's an a**hole, such an a**hole)
I use public toilets and p*ss on the seat,
I walk around in the summertime saying "How about this heat?"
I'm an a**hole (He's an a**hole, what an a**hole)
I'm an a**hole (He's the world's biggest a**hole)
Sometimes I park in handicapped spaces,
While handicapped people make handicapped faces.
I'm an a**hole (He's an a**hole, what an a**hole)
I'm an a**hole (He's a real f**king a**hole)
Maybe I shouldn't be singing this song
Ranting and raving and carrying on
Maybe they're right when they tell me I'm wrong
NAAAAH!
I'm an a**hole (he's an a**hole, what an a**hole)
I'm an a**hole (he's the world's biggest a**hole)
(Spoken)
Know what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna get myself a 1967 Cadillac El Dorado,
hot-f**kin'-pink, with whaleskin hubcaps and all-leather cow interior and big
brown baby seal eyes for headlights... yeah! And I'm gonna drive around in
that baby doing 115 miles an hour, getting 1 mile per gallon, suckin' down
quarter pound cheeseburgers from McDonald's in the old-fashioned non-
biodegradable styrofoam containers... yeah! And when I'm done suckin' down
those greaseball burgers I'm gonna toss the styrofoam containers right out the
side, and there ain't a goddamn thing anybody can do about it. You know why?
Because we got the bombs, that's why... yeah! Two words--nuclear f**kin'
weapons, OK? Russia, Czechoslovakia, Romania, they can have all the democracy
they want...they can have a democracy cakewalk right through the middle of
Tienamen Square and it won't make a lick of f**kin' difference, because we got
the bombs, OK? John Wayne's not dead--he's frozen! And when we find a cure for
cancer, we're gonna thaw out the Duke and he's gonna be pretty p*ssed off. You
know why? You ever taken a cold shower? Well, multiply that by 15 million
times--that's how p*ssed off the Duke's gonna be. I'm gonna get the Duke and
John Casavetti and Sam Peckinpaw and a case of f**kin' whisky and drive...
(Hey, hey, hey, hey, you know you really are an a**hole?)
Why don't you shut up and sing the song, Chris. I thought I was the
a**hole... all the time it was him... what an a**hole!
(Sung)
I'm an a**hole (I'm an a**hole, he's an a**hole)
I'm an a**hole (He's the world's biggest a**hole)
A S-S H-O L-E
Everybody, A S-S H-O L-E
Ay Ay-Ay Ay-Ay Ay-Ay
A-thoom A-thoom-thoom A-thoom-thoom A-thoom-thoom
Oooooooo
(Spoken)
I'm an a**hole and I'm proud of it!
(Chris mouths: a**hole)

Some days I feel like Queensryche's "Revolution Calling" fits the mood of this forum very well.

Till My Head Falls Off -They Might Be Giants

As in, what I think needs to happen for a debate to end on NS.

"No Feelings" by the Sex Pistols; "I Apologize" by Husker Du; "A Passage To Bangkok" by Rush (for the stoner in all of us); "I Wanna Be Sedated" by the Ramones; "Career Opportunites" by The Clash; and "Sweet Child 'o Mine" by Guns & Roses (No real meaning behind this pick... It just kicks ass, is all).

That's about all I can think of at the moment.

"Rock el Casbah" - Rachid Taha.
Unlike the original by the Clash, Taha's version has an arabic feel, isn't in English, and actually has some energy/life to it. More importantly, it has fun with its political message (Ok, so the original one did as well, but, yeah), much like NSG does on its better days.
Of course, I'd also need some Juliette Dagger to balance that out. Perhaps "Stab" or "Tobey", to reflect the fact that most of NS is pointless, silly whining about stupid things with no real depth. Nevertheless, I am unable to escape it, and though I hate this place with all that is rational within me, my Id compels me to return that I may suffer some more.
