In honor of the new updated board, it's time to start a new "Name that tune" thread ... this one in special honor of the board.

If you know what song the lyrics are from, name it (bonus points for the performer), and then post lyrics of your own for the next song.

Let's kick thing's off "New Orleans" style ...

"I was the king of the alley, mama, I could talk some trash.
I was the prince of the paupers crowned downtown at the beggar's bash"

It's hard to be a Saint in the city by Springsteen.


Next one:

"Begin the day
With a friendly voice
A companion, unobtrusive"

That's Rush Spirit of the Radio

Ronald laughs as millions starve and profits forever increase
Your stenching farts,as they smile
They say they try to please
Plastic chairs and fake shakes, to help it all go down
Polluting your children with their lies and tryna destroy your mind...

..Change from your five
Torture camps for cows
It's slaughter and starvation
From Death's corporation

You say you're Christians
But you're a fake
Multinationals on the take
Starving children deserve a break today.

:)

MDC "Corporate Deathburger" cool tune

How about, this one is easy!:

You know the bartenders
They all know my name
And they catch me when I'm pulling up lame
And I'm a pool-shooting-shimmy-shyster shaking my head
When I should be living clean instead

tom waits, fumblin' with the blues

charlie bought some popcorn
billy bought a car
someone almost bought the farm
but they didn't go that far
things shut down at midnight
at least round here they do
cause we all reside down the block
inside at 23 skiddoo

John Prine's "Jesus the Missing Years"

Some fought themselves, some fought each other,
Most just followed one another
Lost and aimless like their brothers
For their hearts were so unclear
And the truth could not appear
