[Closed] Friday Night is STW Protest Song Night

Bit dated now but still excellent.

excellent theme and superb first choice

More than a bit dated especially the country joe

Full Metal Jerkoff, Jello Biaffra and D.O.A

TJ, I was going to go for the Fixin' To Die Rag! Looks like we might have something in common after all!

'Be the first on on yer block to have yer kid come home in a box...' 😈

Being old?

I am only 32 old chap, just well schooled in psychedelic music.

I'm not happy about other people opening Nitclubs on here you know. 🙁

It'll never catch on anyway. Stupid idea...

Elfy, Friday night is music night. Next week we'll have a Christmas Party. You been in The Cooler?

Yoof Detention more like.

My Favourite .

Wot? No rock?

(unhappy C_G)

Taxi's choice. Worth linking.

Elf, welcome back. I, as I am sure our more discerning forumites would agree, do not tend to frequent establishments hosted by people of such dubious moral character that they would be in and out of the clink with such regularity. 😉

'Yoof'? 😕

Yute, Stoner; [i]Yute[/i]...

It has to be said, some protest 'songs' (and I use the term advisedly) are pretty ropey.

Power to the people...

No more posting 'til I've made my tea.

Okay seeing as Carlos worked it out I changed mine but this song is kind of sweary..

**** tha po-lice.
fw, fw, **** tha po-lice.

I Fought The Law, And The Law Won - Saw The Clash, The Men They Couldn't Hang and later Joe Strummer when he lead The Pogues for a spell when Shane had been sacked do this little ditty.

TSY - Thanks just got my northern brain to work it out 😉

Well weve had Conflict and Subhumans, but surely the crown goes to CRASS! Sheepfarming in the Falklands or How Does it Feel.

Or if were going pop, then Free Nelson Mandela by Special AKA.

'Ghosttown' by Fun Boy Three

Absolutely love this, just a shame Ozzy ended up being a friend of George Bush ay?

@john-drummer good choice as always 😉

BOB DYLAN HURRICANE!

I was going to post a Spirit Of The Falklands video but I couldn't find one from the 30th anniversary tour just finished, although I'm sure they will have done it at least once...

Anyway, here's another:

although the footage is a wee bit later than 1980, if that's Dolphin Taylor on drums. It is, of course, a Bob Marley song

I think this [i]just?[/i] counts...

Love this group. been listening to it at work most of the morning.

There's a war going down between my brothers tonight,
I don't want no war going down, going down tonight.

Stop this war
Stop this war

Civilization? Ha! I call it as I see it.
I call it bullshit, you know, I still cannot believe it
Our evolution now has gone the way of hate
A world evolved resolved in this stupid fate

Stop this war
Stop this war

All so different yeah, I say we're all the same
All caught, you know, in the division game.
Self destruction fast impending like a bullet.
No one can stop it, once it's fired, no one can control it.

Stop this war
Stop this war

A final word, wait it's not a call to action
We ain't no sect, no, this ain't no ****ing faction.
Unity, unity, unity you've heard it all before.
This time it's not exclusive - we want to stop a war.

Stop this war
Stop this war

Ain't nothing wrong with another unity song
Ain't nothing wrong with another unity song
Ain't nothing wrong
Ain't nothing wrong
Ain't nothing wrong
Ain't nothing wrong with a unity song

Stop this war
Stop this war

Unity, as one stand together
Unity, evolution's gonna come

I think this just? counts...

Oh perfectly valid.

I'd just like to say, in protest against recent injustices served upon my good, innocent self, that:

I am too bootylicious for you, baby. X

As its chrimbo, and a sort of protest song...

Nice to have you back Elf ( see what i did there) top 10 finisher.

Heh! Always good to see a fellow Top Ten Finisher in an International Mountain biking Event.. 😀

I think this is very, very apt. Filmed at Rock Against Racism, Victoria Park 1978. I was there! I lived in the middle of the three tower blocks visible in the background. Immensely proud that my home 'village' will always be associated with such a monumental gathering of Humanity. 🙂
