So depending on when you’re reading this, Barack Obama may have been elected as the next president of The United States of America. Or, John McCain may have defied all the odds and pulled this out.
If Obama has pulled this out and secured the presidency, then I give you my top 5 songs to celebrate an Obama victory.
1. The Times They Are A Changin’ – Bob Dylan
This song is just as relevant as it was decades ago when Dylan wrote it. Sadly the times didn’t exactly a’change as quickly as the song promised. But, now that our country has elected the first African American president, hopeful some real change is headed our way.
2. Growing On Me – The Darkness
This gem from the short lived neo-arena rockers The Darkness is a perfect song for those that didn’t vote for Barack, but soon realize that he’s everything they’ve ever wanted in a president. Don’t be afraid McCain voters, he won’t bite.
3. Black President – Nas
Um… Really? Do you need an explanation for this one?
4. Cry Me A River – Justin Timberlake
This one is for all of the Haters you will no doubt hear that say an Obama presidency will be the end of this country as we know it. Only the chorus is relevant, so I recommend you put that part on loop, crank up your system and drive around anyone’s house that still has their McCain/Palin sign in their front yard.
5. A Change is Gonna Come – Sam Cooke
People get ready. Yes We Can has become Yes We Did. Love it or hate it, change is on it’s way.
That is, unless…
John McCain has won. If he has, you will need these 5 songs to get you through the next administration.
5. B.Y.O.B. – System of a Down
“Why don’t president’s fight the war? Why do we always send the poor?” Good questions that deserve answers.
4. Take the Power Back – Rage Against The Machine
These next 4 years might seem like a long time, but you can make sure your voice is heard long before the 2012 elections. If you disagree with policy, let your voice be heard. Demonstrate, protest and make sure those in power know that they work at your pleasure, not the other way around.
3. Push – Pharoahe Monch
“Sometime you might fall down, but you get back up.” “If you represent the struggle than PUSH”
2. Fight The Power – Public Enemy
“Our Freedom of Speech, is Freedoem, or Death”
1. List of Demands – Saul Williams
“I ain’t afraid of you. I’m just a victim of your fear” Don’t let them scare you into submission. Fear is the first weapon used to get people to fall in line en-masse. Fear is what got this country behind a false war. Don’t let it happen again.
Well there you have it. Good music to play no matter how things turn out today.
