https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XdC6thlCAlI

Agh, that's not it.

Came here to post Dead Flag Blues. Glad someone beat me to it

Ken Nordine - Orange

47. R.E.M. - Ignoreland

Yeah, I know it's like the third R.E.M. song but I couldn't think of another that was more appropriate at this time.

"brooding duplicitous, wicked and able, media-ready,
Heartless, and labeled. Super U.S. citizen, super achiever"

I'm still viewing this more as the election of a mentally ill person than societal collapse. Plenty of songs about narcissism to cover that angle. Why not take the classic:

Carly Simon - You're So Vain

51. The Stargazers - "Close the door, they're coming in the window"

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=aZlxNaTa9gc

50 - Pet Shop Boys - Integral

^Oops that's 52

hate to spoil anyone's holdout choice but:

53. Rolling Stones - You Can't Always Get What You Want

I'm still viewing this more as the election of a mentally ill person than societal collapse. Plenty of songs about narcissism to cover that angle. Why not take the classic:

Carly Simon - You're So Vain

I would include "Out of Time" by Blur but that's my personal climate change anthem. Let's see just how bad things get...

Broken Social Scene, not Built To Spill. Stupid "B" bands.

I know there are several versions of "Idiot Wind" by Dylan and I thought one was more overtly political but I can never find it.

78. Heavens to Betsy - Monsters

79. Todd Rundgren - Sons of 1984

85. NIRVANA - SCENTLESS APPRENTICE

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GyxoQIQaogE

86. Smashing Pumpkins-"X.Y.U."

AND IN THE EYES OF THE JACKAL I SAY KAAAAA-BOOM!
Now we begin descent, to where we've never been
There is no going back, this wasn't meant to last
This is a hell on earth, we are meant to serve
And she will never learn, she will never learn
BYE BYE
BABY GOODBYE

87. X- "I Must Not Think Bad Thoughts" & "The New World"

I hosted a Pub Quiz on Election Night. I have this large playlist in iTunes that I run on shuffle mode as a soundtrack. The former came up early on, which prompted me to spin the latter a little later when things started getting scary.

88. Napalm Death- "Mass Appeal Madness"

89. P.M. Dawn - "Reality Used to Be a Friend of Mine"

90. Molly Hatchet - Flirtin' With Disaster

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZAD7W3M4zc

91. Should not be so mean to the young son, Barron, but I swear when I saw him on stage Tuesday, the first thing that came to mind was the Omen II soundtrack.

92. Fantastic Voyage by Bowie.

In the event
that this fantastic voyage
Should turn to erosion
and we never get old
Remember it's true, dignity is valuable
But our lives are valuable too

We're learning to live with somebody's depression
And I don't want to live with somebody's depression
We'll get by, I suppose
It's a very modern world,
but nobody's perfect

It's a moving world,
but that's no reason
To shoot some of those missiles
Think of us as fatherless scum
It won't be forgotten
'Cause we'll never say anything nice again, will we?

And the wrong words make you listen
In this criminal world
Remember it's true, loyalty is valuable
But our lives are valuable too

We're learning to live with somebody's depression
And I don't want to live with somebody's depression
We'll get by I suppose
But any sudden movement I've got to write it down
They wipe out an entire race and I've got to write it down
But I'm still getting educated but I've got to write it down
And it won't be forgotten
'Cause I'll never say anything nice again, how can I?

93. The Charade by D'Angelo

94. The Books - All You Need is a Wall

95. Ice Cube - I Wanna Kill Sam

96. A Tribe Called Quest - We, The People...

97. The O'Jays - For the Love of Money (Theme to The Apprentice)

98. Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes - Wake Up Everybody

99. Neil Sedaka - Immigrant

100. Bad Religion - I Want to Conquer the World
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WBbRSq4W_1o

We did it!

Further listening:

Pussy Riot - Make America Great Again
Donald Trump for President - Grab them by the pussy
Mac Miller - Donald Trump
Kenneth Cope - Tiny Hands
Ledinsky - DonaldTrumpMakesMeWannaSmokeCrack

Totally stealing some of these to make a playlist and not giving any of you suckas any credit. I know playlists, I have the best playlists.

https://open.spotify.com/user/moteldemoka/playlist/3unUzN3Y5IFfmWgwAWsLq1

Also adding the next ones:

Rihanna - Sex With Me
Robbie Williams - Party Like a Russian
Animal Collective - Floridada
Envoi - What happened in Wyoming

Mr Jc - La Voz del Inmigrante (this one is terrible but is actually directed at trump)
Manu Chao - Clandestino

Lila Downs - El Demagogo (another one dedicated to Trump)

There's also this song project with artists like Death Cab, REM, Aimee Mann, Franz Ferdinand and several others which were written specifically for this election:

spotify:user:30days30songs:playlist:0GDtTmyBfSvYxMgFCS6yee

The Mekons - Only Darkness Has the Power

Btw the opening lines for Idiot Wind seems so oddly on point:

Someone’s got it in for me, they’re planting stories in the press

Whoever it is I wish they’d cut it out but when they will I can only guess

They say I shot a man named Gray and took his wife to Italy

She inherited a million bucks and when she died it came to me

I can’t help it if I’m lucky

If it was released today everybody would think it was about Trump.

I'd add Young Thug's Harambe because we all know how much trumps angsty young male supporters love memes

just heard "Wake Up Everybody" on radio, hit me hard

Savages - Fuckers

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zkz6qKCYjDM

Listened to this while walking to work yesterday. Felt appropriate.

Al Green - How Can You Mend a Broken Heart

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9YIq0oNiSM

Nick Drake - Day Is Done

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7rsSEsJbbxY

When the game's been fought
Newspaper blown across the court
Lost much sooner than you would have thought
Now the game’s been fought

When the party's through
Seems so very sad for you
Didn’t do the things you meant to do
Now there's no time to start anew
Now the party's through

When the day is done
Down to earth then sinks the sun
Along with everything that was lost and won
When the day is done

NNB - New World

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fYkPx-Qf9U

The Minutemen - The Roar of the Masses Could Be Farts

Million Dollar Loan - Death Cab For Cutie

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XE0nOfTA3pY

His enemies can't contain the flames of jealousy
With brutish charm the women flock to be on his arm
Because it's a sign of weakness to apologize
And he counter sues from any corner he's backed into

Widows, an antique replacement
A briefcase filled with mace
Widows six legged lost and found
Students spray the Kent State mist
Wishing wills missing clientele
Widows sex legged lost and found

Parkas worn in summer apparel
Sweat lodge comatose of broken arrows

Widows veiled in rebound sheets
This is the ghost of a chance the lonely
widows sex legged lost and found
Precision watch the scalpel make roads
Hear them talk in paranoid parables
Widows sex legged lost and found

Storefront chairmans fingering buttons
This running of the bulls will trample all the life support systems

Madrid Space Station Spain
E Space E Space
Flesh versus machine
Matador chase the bull in a china shop

Gored my neck, don't spare me death
I'm running circles red cape paper
Taste the vapor

Matador chase the bull in a china shop

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GlkoQ4bUE5k
