Music for Election Day

Five songs to hum and ponder on the way to the polls Tuesday:

"Elected," Alice Cooper. But of course.
"Politician," Cream. "Hey baby, get into my big black car." Only not within 100 feet of the polling place, please.
"Know Your Rights," the Clash. All three of them.
"Gimme Some Truth," John Lennon.
"Nadine," Chuck Berry. If only for "campaign shouting like a Southern diplomat."

I can think of plenty more, though the deeper I go, the more cynical they get.

Got a few of your own? Click on the "Add a comment" button. Keep 'em nonpartisan. Cynicism is acceptable, but so is hopeful idealism ... if you have any left after another muddy election season.

"We don't get fooled again" The Who

"When the president talks to god" Bright eyes

Not that it's a popular song...but what about "Election Day" by Arcadia (Duran Duran spinoff). I mean the name itself...

"Electioneering" by Radiohead. Best song ever.

Election Day by Arcadia (an offshoot of Duran Duran) Only because of the title, of course!

during the last election, paula cole wrote a song called 'my hero, mr. president' and it was a wonderful dig at Bush. highly recommended...

I will survive by Gloria Gaynor

"Won't Get Fooled Again" -The Who
"War Pigs" -Black Sabbath
