OK, I am now in the process of making a "Pinko Commie Terrorist Gay-Loving Peacenik Dirty Hippie" protest songs playlist and I need ideas.


Come Together 4:18 The Beatles
Blowin' In The Wind 2:46 Bob Dylan
Where Do The Children Play? 3:51 Cat Stevens
Fortunate Son 2:19 Creedence Clearwater Revival
Wooden Ships 5:27 Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Chicago 4:01 Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Cathedral 5:18 Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Ohio 3:06 Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
American Idiot 2:54 Green Day
(Didn't Know I Was) Unamerican 4:51 Ian Rhett
Get Together 3:32 Indigo Girls
The New Wild West 5:06 Jewel
All Along The Watchtower 4:01 Jimi Hendrix

Give Peace a Chance 4:54 John Lennon
Imagine 3:03 John Lennon
Tuesday Morning 4:49 Melissa Etheridge
Rockin' In The Free World 4:40 Neil Young



I would add "Scarecrow" by Melissa Etheridge and "Revolution" by the Beatles if I had them, so if anyone's willing to email me the files, I'll give you cookies. Even more cookies if you guys can suggest stuff to add.

(P.S. Yes, bahzew, they're not all chocolate chip. So you have no excuse.)

ETA: rowena742 reminded me of One Tin Soldier, and "Last Night I Had the Strangest Dream" by Simon and Garfunkel. Anyone have that?

"One Tin Soldier." Darned if I know who sings it or where to find it.

Aaah. *adds that to her wishlist* Thanks!

Oh, yeah, and that "Last night I had the strangest dream" song by Simon and Garfunkel. They've probably got a few others, but they're not coming to mind.

How about "The Origin of Love" from the movie Hedwig and the Angry Inch? It could fit into the "Gay-Loving" part of your project, plus it is a really good song to have.

Oh and another Green Day song for the "terrorist" part: "Having a Blast" from the dookie album.

I don't have the first one, but I have the dookie album, so if you want me to send you "Having a Blast" let me know.

"Signs" - Five Man Electrical Band
"Oh what a lucky man he was" - Emerson, Lake and Palmer
"If you are going to San Francisco" - Scott McKenzie
"Eve of Destruction" - Barry McGuire
"The Green Berets" - Staff Sgt. Barry Sadler
"Feeling Groovy" - Simon and Garfunkel
"Sounds of Silence" - Simon and Garfunkel
"California Dreaming" - The Mamas and the Papas
"Hair" - The Cowsills
"Aquarius" - Fifth Dimension

So many more....I so love the songs of the 60s and very early 1970s. It was a great time to be alive.

P.S. Some of them, while not precisely war protest songs, are indicative of the era and songs like "Hair" were a protest against those who couldn't stand "long haired hippie type pinkos".

Sorry, but one last thing.

"One Tin Soldier" was done by Coven. It was the theme song to "Billy Jack", a wildly popular movie when I was a teen.

Empire Strikes First - Bad Religion. Actually, just about anything BR ever did could probably be spun as a protest against this administration. One of the guys in the band has a PhD in... I believe it's evolutionary biology. Need I say more? ;)

Last Night I Had The Strangest Dream
words and music by Ed McCurdy

Last night I had the strangest dream
I'd ever dreamed before
I dreamed the world had all agreed
To put an end to war

I dreamed I saw a mighty room
Filled with women and men
And the paper they were signing said
They'd never fight again

And when the paper was all signed
And a million copies made
They all joined hands and bowed their heads
And grateful pray'rs were prayed

And the people in the streets below
Were dancing 'round and 'round
While swords and guns and uniforms
Were scattered on the ground

Last night I had the strangest dream
I'd never dreamed before
I dreamed the world had all agreed
To put an end to war.


Wow, i never knew it was an english text originally.. heheh *blush*
It's one of those songs in swedish that almost everyone knows since it is sung in school and so on.
My son in daycare sings it too!! Its even one of our lullabye songs..(yes we are strange my son and I )

Aaaw, that's sweet! *resolves to teach it to Olivia over the summer*
