Song: "So Sad (The World's In A Tangle)" by Canned Heat
Nominated by: 174.83.43.88
Reason: The world is in a tangled death spiral. So sad. Forewarned for decades, the GrumpTrumpocalypse idiocracy boogies right into the worst case scenario of poisonous, slop-sewage waters, kills all sealife, and sells fossil fuels with nukes to light up the occasion. You know we’re had, man, shake things up a bit.

Song: "Rock 'N' Roll McDonald's" by Wesley Willis
Nominated by: 68.117.65.142
Reason: I nominated this song because Wesley Willis is a man whose life was too tragic, yet interesting, to forget. I think that we should remember him through his music and art. Rock N Roll McDonald's is one of his greatest pieces too, with an emotional buildup to one of music's greatest choruses of all time. And of course we can't forget Wesley's critical and thought-provoking lyrics of the American lifestyle. Rock London, rock on Chicago.
