I was initially thinking that in these days of Obama, replete with
change (and hope!) we should go with something like Stayin’ Alive by
the Bee Gees. But, I prefer Drivin’ and Cryin’ with Going Straight to
Hell. (Sorry the video sucks, I couldn’t find a better one.)

I used to love Drivin' and Cryin' when I was in college. I think I'll pull out of their old CDs.

They are not widely known, part of the early 90s, Progressive Rock, college scene, following the footsteps of REM, B-52s, et al ...of the genre. Good stuff. the video doesn't do them justice, but it is good to be reminded of them. Ahhh memories of college days.

The lyrics are all about bombs and war and bloodshed — and not in a good way. By the penultimate verse, the song has turned really nasty: “No refuge could save the hireling and slave/From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave.” In the first verse — the one we generally sing — there is only one reference to any value commonly associated with America: “land of the free.” By contrast, “home of the brave” is empty bravado. There is nothing in the American myth (let alone reality) to suggest that we are braver than anyone else.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://thisainthell.us/blog/?p=11602"><P>No, “The Star-Spangled Banner” has got to go.
