Like most people with even a chicken-nugget sized brain, I'm pretty pissed off about the state of the world most of the time and I'm betting that you are too. By (multiple) request, here is one of the truly great protest songs of our day and age. Sam and Joe's "Save the Children" (Right click to download MP3 -- Not safe for Work), as it was meant to be heard in its full, un-edited glory. This track is originally from the excellent "Fear of Smell" compilation (1992, Vermiform Records) which is still available here. It's a rant that not only covers the general "war is bad, it would be groovy if everyone had enough food" ideologies, but also ventures into the largely unchartered "I demand the right to masturbate whenever I want to" sentiment.

but what really makes it work is the ending; a bit of incongruous collage makes everything better. wonderful.

Listen to this song while picturing it being sung by Ren & Stimpy and it takes on a whole other dimension ("Where little dogs where suits and ties!")
