  1. "And we mean to go on, and on, and on and on

    We are the champions, my friends
    And we'll keep on fighting till the end
    We are the champions, we are the champions
    No time for losers, 'cause we are the champions of the world"

    - #Queen, 1977

  2. "Buddy, you're a young man, hard man
    Shouting in the street, gonna take on the world someday
    You got blood on your face, you big disgrace
    Waving your banner all over the place

    We will, we will rock you, sing it, oh
    We will, we will rock you"

    #VenusSands

    "The morning star has long since gone
    The sun is high in the sky
    Shadowless a figure stands
    Stranded on Venus sands

    Up in the blue and circling
    The seabirds watch and wait
    For movement of a certain kind
    Down on their dinner plate

    Where children played a flower lays
    Pulled and torn up by its roots
    And where it stood
    The empty space just screams...

    Down on the flats, baby turtles race
    For safety of the big deep
    And white caps come crashing in
    Indifferent to tender flesh

    Shriek of attack, then moving in
    A raucous clash, a gourmet din
    Of cruel gull beaks
    And tearing skin... screaming

    Lit by the evening star at Venus sands
    Against a blood orange sky
    There's a shadow of a figure prone
    Abandoned and all alone
    Venus sands"

  4. Of course I had to play my theme song -- #CitiesInDust by #SiouxsieAndTheBanshees (when I had regular gigs at the Goth club, folks would just expect me to play it -- and it *is* one of my favorite #SATB songs off my favorite SATB album - #Tinderbox).

    "Water was running, children were running
    You were running out of time
    Under the mountain, a golden fountain
    Were you praying at the Lares' shrine?
    But oh, your city lies in dust, my friend
    But oh, your city lies in dust, my friend..."

  5. Next up, I played #HeadsWillRoll (2009) by the #YeahYeahYeahs and worked the crowd (which included a bachelorette party) up into a frenzy! This song is definitely part of the soundtrack of the #revolution -- especially when the heads start rolling!

    "Off, off with your head
    Dance, dance til you're dead (dead)
    Heads will roll
    Heads will roll
    Heads will roll
    On the floor..."

  6. "Der Kommissar" was a song recorded by Austrian musician Falco in 1981. I played the English cover version recorded by #AfterTheFire in 1982.

    "Don't turn around, whoa-uh-oh (Ja, ja)
    Der Kommissar's in town, whoa-uh-oh
    And if he talks to you and you don't know why
    You say your life is gonna make you die
    Alles klar, Herr Kommissar?"

  7. The song "1984" was written by David Bowie in 1973 and released on the album "Diamond Dogs" (1974). "Diamond Dogs" was intended to be the musical component of a play that Bowie wrote, based on #GeorgeOrwell's novel, 1984. However, the Orwell estate objected, and Bowie shelved the play, but not the music!

    "Someday they won't let you, now you must agree
    The times they are a-telling, and the changing isn't free
    You've read it in the tea leaves, and the tracks are on TV
    Beware the savage jaw
    Of 1984

    They'll split your pretty cranium and fill it full of air
    And tell that you're 80, but, brother, you won't care
    You'll be shooting up on anything, tomorrow's never there
    Beware the savage jaw
    Of 1984

    Come see, come see, remember me?
    We played out an all-night movie role
    You said it would last, but I guess we enrolled
    In 1984 (Who could ask for more?)
    1984 (Who could ask for mo-o-o-o-ore?)
    (Mo-o-o-o-ore)

    I'm looking for a vehicle, I'm looking for a ride
    I'm looking for a party, I'm looking for a side
    I'm looking for the treason that I knew in '65
    Beware the savage jaw
    Of 1984

    Come see, come see, remember me?
    We played out an all-night movie role
    You said it would last, but I guess we enrolled
    In 1984 (Who could ask for more?)
    1984 (Who could ask for mo-o-o-o-ore?)
    (Mo-o-o-o-ore)

    1984
    1984
    1984 (Mo-o-o-o-ore)
    1984
    1984 (Mo-o-o-o-re)
    1984"

  8. Love and Rocket's 1980's cover of #TheTemptation's 1970 song, "Ball of Confusion"! This filled the dance floor!

    "Well, the only person talking about love today is the preacher
    And it seems nobody's interested in learning but the teacher
    Segregation, determination, demonstration, integration
    Aggravation, humiliation, devastation of our nation

    Ball of confusion
    That's what the world is today, hey, hey
    Ball of confusion
    That's what the world is today, hey, hey..."

  9. And of course, this gem from 1984 by #ThePsychedelicFurs. Written as a critique of Ronald Reagan, it works under the current administration. When will we ever learn?

    "There are colors flashing
    People wearing stars and stuff
    There are engines cracking
    There's a way to turn it off

    It gets so hard at times
    To take it serious
    It really gets to be a drag
    When all we really need is love

    Here come cowboys
    Here to save us all
    Here come cowboys
    They're so well inside the law
    Here come cowboys
    They're no fun at all
    Here come cowboys..."

  10. First up, a rare demo version of #WorldParty's "The Ballad of the Little Man"

    "He was doing fine in '39
    Thank God he did not win
    He kept playing on his fiddle
    As he watched old Rome cave in
    He sold love away from his children's hearts
    And told them it was sin
    Now we're all at the mercy, we're all at the mercy
    Of that little man within

    Now he's sitting in the gardens
    As the acid rain comes in
    He got it covered full of rhino heads
    And boots of leopard skin
    He got the means, he make the harvest high
    But you can count those hungry people die
    We're all at the mercy
    Of the greedy man within

    So if you're feeling lonely, baby
    If you're feeling blue
    If you listen to your little friend
    You know he'll tell you what to do
    But if you hear his words and you get confused
    Start believing they're all true
    Then you have just been fooled again
    Who said we won't get fooled again?
    By the little man within..."

    - #KarlWallinger, #WorldParty, 1985
