Political Songs & Satire

Just discovered some interesting music on NPR's "All Songs Considered".

Political Songs & Satire
In this election year it seemed a good idea to put out a call for music about politics. What we wanted was satire; what we got were earnest and passionate songs that mostly bashed the incumbent president.

Below you will find fairly well-known artists singing songs about war, the candidates and the voters' dilemma: who to chose in 2004.

We've also included a special feature on music from the candidates. Intern Jenny Asarnow offers a sample of the songs used to pump up crowds at political rallies by President George W. Bush and the Democratic nominee, Sen. John Kerry.

there's also some site called the "boot newt singalong page" that has a lot of funny song lyrics.
