Cute Song for Libertarian Dorks

Miscellaneous General

Here’s a song I figured some of you might like

Kenny Loggins -I’m Alright
I’m alright
Nobody worry 'bout me
Why you got to gimme a fight?
Can’t you just let it be?

I’m alright
Don’t nobody worry 'bout me
You got to gimme a fight
Why don’t you just let me be

Do what you like,
Doing it nat’rally
But if it’s too easy
They’re gonna disagree

It’s your life
And isn’t it a mystery
If it’s nobody’s bus’ness
It’s everybody’s game

Gotta catch you later
No, no, cannonball it right away

Some Cinderella kid

Get it up and get you a job
(Dip dip dip dip dip dip dip dip)

I’m alright
Nobody worry 'bout me
Why you got to gimme a fight?
Can’t you just let it be?

I’m alright
Don’t nobody worry 'bout me
You got to gimme a fight
Why don’t you just let me be

Who do you want?
Who you be today?
And who is it really
Makin’ up your mind?

You wanna listen to the man?
Pay attention to the magistrate
And while I got you in the mood
Listen to your

Own heart beatin’
Own heart beatin’
Own heart beatin’
Own heart beatin’

Don’t it get you movin’

Mmmmm-man

It make me feel good

(Wow, Cinderella kid)

Then give it up and give it the job

(dip dip dip dip dip dip dip dip)
(Boom, boom, boom, boom)

I’m alright
Nobody worry 'bout me
Why you got to gimme a fight?
Can’t you just let it be?

I’m alright
Don’t nobody worry 'bout me
You got to gimme a fight
Why don’t you just let me be

I’m alright
Nobody worry 'bout me
Why you got to gimme a fight?
Can’t you just let it be?

I’m alright
I’m alright
Just let me be

I’ve always felt “Wouldn’t It Be Nice” by the Beach Boys was an apt song for us anarcho-capitalist fantasizers. :slight_smile:

Also, Billy Joel’s “My Life”.

3

My theme song is Brad Paisley’s “Online”.

4

My personal theme song would probably be Beast by KMFDM. KMFDM, by the way, stands for ‘No Pity for the Masses’, in German.

KMFDM also has this song, Anarchy which is a pretty good song for you anarchists with somewhat more Continental views of the world.

Oingo Boingo’s Capitalism is always classic.

5

What’s with the anime? Anyway, I prefer Romantic/20th Century/ Contemporary music.

I’ll make this my new theme song.

(english Translation)

Alone I go with my sorrow
Alone goes my sentence
To run is my destiny
To escape the law
Lost in the heart of the great Babylon
They call me
clandestine
For not having any papers

To a city of the north
I went to work
I left my life
Between Ceuta and
Gibraltar
I’m a line in the sea
A ghost in the city
My life is forbidden
So says the authority

Alone I go with my sorrow
Alone goes my sentence
To run is my destiny
For having no papers
Lost in the heart
Of the great Babylon
They call me clandestine
I’m the lawbreaker

Black Hand clandestine
Peruvian clandestine
African clandestine
Marihuana illegal

Alone I go with my sorrow
Alone goes my sentence
To run is my destiny
To escape the law
Lost in the heart of the great Babylon
They call me
clandestine
For not having any papers

Algerian, Clandestine
Nigerian, Clandestine
Bolivian, Clandestine
Black Hand, Illegal

Appears you guys listen to music for the political message instead of just plain music. Does anybody here listen to non sung music?

8

fall out boy ftw

not

9

Beethoven!

10

I love classical music, psychadelia, and experimental noise.

…Yyyyyyep.

11

More like, I can’t stand the subject, content and message of most music. Also, I’m an intellectual; this kind of is what I care about.

I like all sorts of music. I like Wagner, Strauss and Carl Orff. But I usually know the lyrics to the operas I like…and, well, Strauss composed stuff about Nietzsche so who can resist?

The ‘2001’ ending music is Strauss’ “Daybreak”, the first movement from his “Thus Spake Zarathustra” (Daybreak is the first chapter in the book by Nietzsche).

12

Oh, God. Strauss was a musical genius. The Viennese Blood Waltz is pretty high up there on my value scale. Strauss, along with Jean Sibelius, Robert Schumann, and Karl Jenkins, are–in my opinion–the four greatest musical artists who ever lived.

13

I actually listen to a lot of MIDI (mostly of video game & RPG music, but also MIDI versions of other songs by other bands). I even make my own music via MIDI & Guitar Pro, & sometimes use my mp3 player’s mic to record acoustic sessions (which sometimes have GuitarPro in the background providing backing music).

As for what else I listen to, I think the range of my list would worry more than a few people :P. I would post it here but I all of my music is stuck in my DVD back-up binders, so making a list would be impracticle right now.

14

I too enjoy Strauss. Does anybody enjoy Shostakovich, Mussorgsky, Rachmaninov, and other Russian music?

15

Im a Rock guy, Led Zeppelin always brings me a smile.

Lately I have been fascinated for Fleet Foxes. No love here for those guys? They are amazing, their musicality just flows with no effort at all.

And my favourite singer is Mark Lanegan, incredible how a voice can be so raw, versatile and delicate at the same time.

16

Almost solely hip hop for me

This one pretty much summarizes why I’m a libertarian:

Yes very much so. As far as classical I like a lot, but I tend to listen to Chopin and Schubert the most.

As to Russian music in general, this song is kinda libertarian. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTPwzEWzlGs Don’t be fooled by the picture, they were no friends of the Soviets.

A soldier was walking home,
And he saw some guys
“Hey guys, who is your mother?”
The soldier asked these guys

Mama is Anarchy!
Father-- a glass of wine.

All of them wore leather jackets,
None of them were very tall.
The soldier wanted to move past them,
But it wasn’t so easy

Mama is Anarchy!
Father-- a glass of wine.

A rather unusual joke
Those guys played on him later
They painted him with red and blue,
And made him say bad words.

Mama is Anarchy!
Father-- a glass of wine.

That makes two of us. I also like “God Love Her” by Toby Keith.

The Trees by Rush:

There is unrest in the forest,
There is trouble with the trees,
For the maples want more sunlight
And the oaks ignore their pleas.

The trouble with the maples,
(And they’re quite convinced they’re right)
They say the oaks are just too lofty
And they grab up all the light.
But the oaks can’t help their feelings
If they like the way they’re made.
And they wonder why the maples
Can’t be happy in their shade.

There was trouble in the forest,
And the creatures all have fled,
As the maples scream “Oppression!”
And the oaks just shake their heads

So the maples formed a union
And demanded equal rights.
“The oaks are just too greedy;
We will make them give us light.”
Now there’s no more oak oppression,
For they passed a noble law,
And the trees are all kept equal
By hatchet, axe, and saw.
