Mine would have to be Kaiser Chiefs - I Predict A Riot

Watching the people get lairy
Is not very pretty I tell thee
Walking through town is quite scary
And not very sensible either
A friend of a friend he got beaten
He looked the wrong way at a policeman
Would never have happened to Smeaton
And old Leodiensian
La-ah-ah, la la lalala la
Ah-ah-ah, la la lalala la

I predict a riot, I predict a riot
I predict a riot, I predict a riot

I tried to get in my taxi
A man in a tracksuit attacked me
He said that he saw it before me
Wants to get things a bit gory
Girls run around with no clothes on
To borrow a pound for a condom
If it wasn't for chip fat, well they'd be frozen
They're not very sensible

La-ah-ah, la la lalala la
Ah-ah-ah, la la lalala la

I predict a riot, I predict a riot
I predict a riot, I predict a riot

And if there's anybody left in here
That doesn't want to be out there

Watching the people get lairy
Is not very pretty I tell thee
Walking through town is quite scary
And not very sensible

La-ah-ah, la la lalala la
Ah-ah-ah, la la lalala la

I predict a riot, I predict a riot
I predict a riot, I predict a riot

And if there's anybody left in here
That doesn't want to be out there

I predict a riot, I predict a riot
I predict a riot, I predict a riot

The Last Saskatchewan Pirate
(try not to rape this poor bugger's bandwidth too much)
(I don't know who he is, but he'll probably hunt me down and kill me later)



I used to be a farmer, and I made a living fine,
I had a little stretch of land along the CP line
But time went by and though I tried, the money wasn't there
And bankers came and took my land and told me ";fair is fair";
I looked for every kind of job, the answer always no
";Hire you now?"; they'd always laugh, ";we just let twenty go!";
The government, the promised me a measly little sum
But I've got too much pride to end up just another bum.
Then I thought, who gives a damn if all the jobs are gone?
I'm gonna be a PIRATE on the river Saskatchewan!!!
(Arrr! Arrr! Arrr! Arrr! Arrr!!)

Cause it's a heave-ho, hi-ho, comin' down the plains
Stealin' wheat and barley and all the other grains
It's a ho-hey, hi-hey farmers bar yer doors
When ya see the Jolly Roger on Regina's mighty shores

Well, you'd think the local farmers would know that I'm at large
But just the other day I found an unprotected barge
I snuck up right behind them and they were none the wiser,
I rammed their ship and sank it and I stole their fertilizer!
A bridge outside of Moosejaw spans a mighty river
Farmers cross in so much fear their stomachs are a-quiver
Cause they know that TRACTOR JACK is hiding in the bay
I'll jump the bridge and knock them cold and sail off with their hay!

Cause it's a heave-ho, hi-ho, comin' down the plains
Stealin' wheat and barley and all the other grains
It's a ho-hey, hi-hey farmers bar yer doors
When ya see the Jolly Roger on Regina's mighty shores

Well, Mountie Bob he chased me, he was always at my throat
He'd follow on the shoreline cause he didn't own a boat
But cutbacks were a-coming and the Mountie lost his job
And now he's sailing with us, and we call him Salty Bob!
A swingin' sword, a skull and bones and pleasant company
I never pay my income tax and screw the GST (SCREW IT!!)
Prince Albert down to Saskatoon I'm the terror of the seas
If you wanna reach the co-op, boy, you gotta get by me!

Cause it's a heave-ho, hi-ho, comin' down the plains
Stealin' wheat and barley and all the other grains
It's a ho-hey, hi-hey farmers bar yer doors
When ya see the Jolly Roger on Regina's mighty shores
Arrrr, Metis! Get it? Matey? (Hey, that's Riel-ly funny! You know, Louis Riel?)

Well, Pirate life's appealing but you just don't find it here,
I've heard that in Alberta there's a band of buccaneers
They roam the Athabaska and sail to Fort McKay
And you're gonna loose your stetson if you have to pass their way!
Well, winter is a-comin' and a chill is in the breeze
My Pirate days are over once the river starts to freeze
I'll be back in springtime but now I have to go
I hear there's lots of plundering down in New Mexico!

Cause it's a heave-ho, hi-ho, comin' down the plains
Stealin' wheat and barley and all the other grains
It's a ho-hey, hi-hey farmers bar yer doors
When ya see the Jolly Roger on Regina's mighty shores

Cause it's a heave-ho, hi-ho, comin' down the plains
Stealin' wheat and barley and all the other grains
It's a ho-hey, hi-hey farmers bar yer doors
When ya see the Jolly Roger on Regina's mighty shores
When ya see the Jolly Roger on Regina's mighty shores...


Edit: Theres two versions of the song, one by Arrogant Worms and another by Captain tractor. Lyrics here are from the AW's version, song link is the version by CT, the better one.

Heyyo,

Noo doot aboot it: Tenacious D - Tribute


[spoken]
This is the greatest and best song in the world... Tribute.

Long time ago me and my brother Kyle here,
we was hitchhikin' down a long and lonesome road.
All of a sudden, there shined a shiny demon... in the middle... of the road.
And he said:
[sung]
"Play the best song in the world, or I'll eat your soul." (soul)
[spoken]
Well me and Kyle, we looked at each other,
and we each said... "Okay."
[sung]
And we played the first thing that came to our heads,
Just so happened to be,
The Best Song in the World, it was The Best Song in the World.

Look into my eyes and it's easy to see
One and one make two, two and one make three,
It was destiny.
Once every hundred-thousand years or so,
When the sun doth shine and the moon doth glow
And the grass doth grow...

Needless to say, the beast was stunned.
Whip-crack went his schwumpy tail,
And the beast was done.
He asked us: "(snort) Be you angels?"
And we said, "Nay. We are but men."
Rock!
Ahhh, ahhh, ahhh-ah-ah,
Ohhh, whoah, ah-whoah-oh!

This is not The Greatest Song in the World, no.
This is just a tribute.
Couldn't remember The Greatest Song in the World, no, no.
This is a tribute, oh, to The Greatest Song in the World,
All right! It was The Greatest Song in the World,
All right! It was the best muthafuckin' song the greatest song in the world.
[2-part skat]
[spoken]
And the peculiar thing is this my friends:
the song we sang on that fateful night it didn't actually sound
anything like this song.
[sung]
This is just a tribute! You gotta believe me!
And I wish you were there! Just a matter of opinion.
Ah, fuck! Good God, God lovin',
So surprised to find you can't stop it.
[skat]
All right! All right!




Ok, to tells you guys the truth, there's 2 versions of the song Tribute, the original, and the CD version. Here's the oringinal, starting from after it says "The Best Song in the World, it was The Best Song in the World."

Ahh, aaahhh, and it saved our butts... be cause the demon wanted to kill us nooo...

Be he was forced to set us free by the honor code that demons, have to live by.
Cause it's satan's suprise and it's magic, and it's a mystical disguise.. [small skat]
The devil's song and it's tragic... you are the mistycal eyed-virgin, and you're rockin'!


at least once every 2 months, I listen to Tenacious D songs only for a day... it's great stuff. I've ripped a lot of music from some live shows, the tenacious D show episodes (high quality from the Tenacious D Masterworks DVD that I ripped myself for only my listening pleasure ). The D will always be the band for me, so LONG LIVE THE D!

[EDIT]
Oh, a close second song is "Tenacious - Wonderboy" such a hard rockin', beautiful song... I've actually cried listnin' to it it's soo damn beautiful.

[von Ryan]

/me likes this song alot... no offense to americans (as far as I know, I'm one, I live in (south) AMERICA...), but your president sucks.

Fore thats enough to argue

Well maybe I'm the f*ckhead America.
I'm not a part of a redneck agenda.
Now everybody do the propaganda.
And sing along to the age of paranoia.

Definitely one if not THE best french punk rock:

Bérurier Noir - Le Retour De Jim-La-Jungle

A song against all armies. I'll toss a quick and dirty translation for ya:

I'm a wrecked face I'm back from Lebanon
A helm on the head and yeah I ask for more
On my face on a side that's all dead meat now
who's that who ain't happy ?

My boots are steeltoed clubs 'n my smile is ripped
My skin is scarfucked and my brain is a wreck
My hands are just stubs my balls are onions
And I've a retarded face!

La laaa La laaa
Be bop a lula
Be bop a lula
La laaa La laaa
Be bop a lula...!

Ain't got no teeth 'nymore, yeah my jaw in burned
Ambulant surgery, docs are afraid of me
I'm covered with crusts my mouth spouts only farts
And I don't give a fuck!

My life's a pile of shit and my soul's a fart
My dick and my scissors I'm human zero
I walk on destroyed streets on hundred obuses glares
Can't help they rip my butt !

La laaa La laaa
Be bop a lula
Be bop a lula
La laaa La lalaaa
Be bop a lula ... ... !

I even 've been rewarded with dicks and swastikas
I have but one ham left, lost the other on the front
I've been fucked by t...thousand sausages
By my commander of section !

I serve my nation, yeah, as a cannon fodder
rocked by the Legion, I've lost my corkscrew
it can't grow hard without I think of the carnage
of the rapes in Saigon !

La laaa La laaa
Be bop a lula
Be bop a lula
La laaa La lalaaa
Be bop a lula, lula bang boom

I killd guys with saw'd off's, with bows, and in the shit
With bombs and cannons and sometimes with scissors
dynamited people for more than twenty years
I'm not th'same as before!

My dick and my knife, I'm human zero
I've been awarded before being locked up
I served my country, I'm now in psychiatry
Who shall I thank already ???

La laaa La lalaaa
Be bop a lula
Be bop a lula
La laaaa La laaaa
Be bop a lula ... ...

These guys have no label. They used to autoproduce their music and they allow everybody from anywhere to get it for free, so here's the sample:

Skyclad - You Lost My Memory
(from the album Folkémon, 2000)

Unstoppable force and immovable object,
repel one another when by chance colliding.
The Brownian-Motion within this love potion,
ensures our opinions are always dividing.
I am from Mars my dear;
you hail from Venus.
A meeting star-crossed
like the Sun and the Moon.
Destined to let this cruel world
come between us.
Our last kiss eclipsed by a shadow at noon.

A rose that is built
out of music by moonlight;
petals stained ruby with nightingale blood.
Cast down in disgust
to be crushed by a cart-wheel,
because of mere trivia misunderstood.

We quest for a grail of illusive perfection,
each hoping we'll find it some glorious day.
Yet gaze with remorse at our jaded reflection,
that looks like The Picture Of Dorian Gray.

[Chorus:]
Siamese Twins who were joined at the heart.
Love's an affliction without a known remedy.
Blunt-bladed fate
deemed to cleave us apart;
Emotional surgery pays no indemnity.
Some seek release with effete anaesthesia,
others adapt to the role of sworn enemy.
You found nepenthe in cheap, sweet amnesia;
It was far easier losing my memory.

And the nightingale sang:
"Sing love's lament
with a thorn at your breast.
Impaled by her barb;
cruel and unforgiving.
A million dead poets would gladly attest;
heart-ache's a keepsake
to remind us we're living."

[Chorus:]
Siamese Twins who were joined at the heart.
Love's an affliction without a known remedy.
Blunt-bladed fate
deemed to cleave us apart;
Emotional surgery pays no indemnity.
Some seek release with effete anaesthesia,
others adapt to the role of sworn enemy.
You found nepenthe in cheap, sweet amnesia;
It was far easier losing my memory.

Alice In Chains - Rooster

Ain't found a way to kill me yet
Eyes burn with stinging sweat
Seems every path leads me to nowhere
Wife and kids household pet
Army green was no safe bet
The bullets scream to me from somewhere

Here they come to snuff the rooster
Yeah here come the rooster, yeah
You know he ain't gonna die
No, no, no, ya know he ain't gonna die

Walkin' tall machine gun man
They spit on me in my home land
Gloria sent me pictures of my boy
Got my pills 'gainst mosquito death
My buddy's breathin' his dyin' breath
Oh god please won't you help me make it through

Here they come to snuff the rooster
Yeah here come the rooster, yeah
You know he ain't gonna die
No, no, no ya know he ain't gonna die

But this really needs the music along wiht it.
