I may not understand the economy, but I CAN sing along with It's The End of the World...

Maybe that's part of how we got in this fucked up mess in the first place.

We can dance as Rome burns.

[luzisrighthand.livejournal.com]

No contest!

[xraytheenforcer.livejournal.com]

"Other" seems to be catching up!

I voted for O Fortuna, but I have to admit that until I read your choices, my gut instinct was for Taps. Or something like this:

I feel like we're going out with a whimper, not a bang. The music needs to reflect this. *emo nod*

Go slowly into the night, brave soldier.

I voted for Strapping Young Lad, partly because that's exactly what I've been listening to, and partly because the sample at the opening of the song says "Well, gentlemen. A great deal of money has been invested in this project and we can't allow it to fail."

Hahahahahaha. *sob*

If your name is Hammer: "The Final Countdown"

If your name is Ser Scot: "Why does it always rain on me?"

If your name is Rockroi: "The ROOF is on FIRE!"

Covered with flowers by Talking Heads.

I am going to have to youtube this one, because I can't remember how this goes.

[peadarog.livejournal.com]

The lyrics are the important thing here...

Ghost Town, Specials.

[xraytheenforcer.livejournal.com]

I remember when I linked that, like, two years ago. Still a favorite.

Hmm, Carmina Burana is a good one, but Fortune Plango Vulnera fits better than O Fortuna:


Fortune plango vulnera I bemoan the wounds of Fortune
stillantibus ocellis with weeping eyes,
quod sua michi munera for the gifts she made me
subtrahit rebellis. she perversely takes away.
Verum est, quod legitur, It is written in truth,
fronte capillata, that she has a fine head of hair,
sed plerumque sequitur but, when it comes to seizing an opportunity
Occasio calvata. she is bald.

In Fortune solio On Fortune's throne
sederam elatus, I used to sit raised up,
prosperitatis vario crowned with
flore coronatus; the many-coloured flowers of prosperity;
quicquid enim florui though I may have flourished
felix et beatus, happy and blessed,
nunc a summo corrui now I fall from the peak
gloria privatus. deprived of glory.

Fortune rota volvitur: The wheel of Fortune turns;
descendo minoratus; I go down, demeaned;
alter in altum tollitur; another is raised up;
nimis exaltatus far too high up
rex sedet in vertice sits the king at the summit -
caveat ruinam! let him fear ruin!
nam sub axe legimus for under the axis is written
Hecubam reginam. Queen Hecuba.


EDIT: Fuck LJ for not including spaces!

Life is just a bowl of All Bran (you wake up every morning and its there) Small Faces, Ogdens Nut gone flake

[xraytheenforcer.livejournal.com]

Small Faces! That would definitely cheer me up. :)

[hereward77.livejournal.com]

Small faces... that makes me think of The Jam again.

Considering the month you've had, I can see this one clearly.

[pippingeek.livejournal.com]

my (other) friend doug just made a mention of "burning down the house" in regard to this sitch, and it just feels right to me. as much as i would like to say "the marching song of the covert battalions," this may be one of the few instances when it doesn't exactly fit...

[xraytheenforcer.livejournal.com]

I dunno, both have their merits. ;-)

[dajamieson.livejournal.com]

I vote for American Idiot:p

*snort*
Hahaha. Nice one.
