I have a lawsuit here from Creedence Clearwater Revival. What's that you say? Not their song? Never stopped them before.
BTW.. What counts as a Protest Song these days?.. educate me you youngsters.. I wanna be hip (Imagine Dr. Evil doing the Macarena scene.. oh hell.. even THAT's ancient) Ok ok.. so what do you see as recent Protest Songs??.. I mean.. along the lines of.. 1960's: Fortunate Son, Redemption Song, Times they're a changin', RESPECT 1970's: I'd love to change the world, God save the Queen, Get up Stand Up 1980's: Born in the USA, She Bob, Beds are burning, Another brick in the wall 1990's: Smells like team spirit (hmm perfect Kaw song about clans and indi wars), Killing in the name, Silent all these years, 2000's: ?? Drop it like its hot?, Oops I did it again??, Milkshake?? Promiscuous?? This decade: ?????? I kissed a girl?
Not to be the edgy guy in the room, but the only song in recent memory that could count as a protest song of some sort is Stressed Out by Twenty One Pilots? I say that because nothing else comes to mind, and surely a bunch of millennials complaining about work and money counts as a protest song.
Zeth is onto something.. in this day and age of #TheStruggleIsReal, we need moar Protest songs!! A few suggestions for those aspiring musicians/Kaw players with talent.. Protest about Transgender rights.. "My ****** Broke".. a country style song about a ****** cowboy/gal with a broke down truck that nobody would help fix
Thanks for making me choke on a bite of sandwich. I nominate Nick Jonas for the Guitar Solo in the middle.
Protest against GMO: "Why is my banana slightly curved?" A bestie boys style angst filled rap about the horror of finding your GMO banana slightly curved..
For those that don't understand the Nick Jonas joke, look up his performance with Kelsie Ballerini at the 2015 ACM awards.
Protest against terrible GPS? A Jimi Hendrix style song of course. 'There must be some kind of way out of here. Said the Zethor to Siri. There's too much confusion. I can't find a place to pee.'
