Kill The Poor by Dead Kennedys

That was pretty cool, you're getting better all the time.
I must admit I did look for the frog, I know he has gone into hiding and I am glad.
But I love the new look, you may start a new trend because I gotta get me some pink hair.
well I'm not sure that my wonderful wife might approve.
Great Playing.

Hi All
Here's my Revolution Entry!


Originally by Leon Rosselson: http://youtu.be/PCXnol8NGbg
His version is very “A Mighty Wind”

Here's the only version I knew before I started researching the song, Ukuleledavey's Essex homeboy, Billy Bragg: http://youtu.be/LK2ldle1kAk

Dick Gaughan: http://youtu.be/XWzzvnPOyTM

Chumbawumba http://youtu.be/JEv3LpXNX8U

Could mine be the first version with a US accent?
Also let's please consider this a musical exercise and not a political one, I don't want to get into a big kerfuffle here.
I merely want to SMASH THE STATE! (just kidding)

Most people don't think about singing when they think about revolutions.
But song was the weapon of choice when, between 1986 and 1991,
Estonians sought to free themselves from decades of Soviet occupation.
During those years, hundreds of thousands gathered in public to sing forbidden
patriotic songs and to rally for independence. "The young people, without any
political party, and without any politicians, just came together ... not only tens
of thousands but hundreds of thousands ... to gather and to sing and
to give this nation a new spirit," remarks Mart Laar, a Singing Revolution leader
featured in the film and the first post-Soviet Prime Minister of Estonia.
"This was the idea of the Singing Revolution." James Tusty and Maureen Castle Tusty's
"The Singing Revolution" tells the moving story of how the Estonian people peacefully
regained their freedom through song.

I never thought an Eddy Grant song could so..so..wee ginga yin! I looked at some period songs from the French, American and English revolutions, and considered trying a Tahrir square song. All were too much of a reach for me, good thinking going anti-apartheid. Lots of songs, and one of the revolutions that has turned out well. You perform it with the requisite gravitas and conviction. thanks

I had two other songs in mind Revolution by John Lennon
and the best song ever written about freedom which would
need the skills of Mattydee to carry it off... the very poetic
Chimes of Freedom by Bob Dylan.

Folks we are getting down to the last 24 hours of my week, so you still have time to enter, I may let some slip in if they are a little late.
Excellent work all those who have entered,thanks so much ,here is updated play listhttp://www.youtube.com/user/UkuleleDaveey/videos?view=1

Those are both great songs... And thanks for the kindness. Id love to give Chimes of Freedom a go, but I've been working on something else all week which has proven to be more complicated and difficult than I had anticipated. Which, you know, educationally: great. Artistically: not so sure. I think it could be cool if I can pull it off. We'll see.
