Haven’t see. The Friday Silliness post in a while..... thought we could have a lighthearted kick off with a name that theme tune for 2020......
Only criteria is that the tune must have appropriate lyrics to fit your 2020 experience.....
My vote is for “Bad Moon Rising “ by Credence Clearwater Revival....
Have fun Freepers!!!!! Name that tune!

I nominate Holiday in Cambodia by Dead Kennedys
So, you’ve been to school
For a year or two
And you know you’ve seen it all
In daddy’s car
Thinking you’ll go far
Back east your type don’t crawl
Playing ethnicky jazz
To parade your snazz
On your five-grand stereo
Braggin’ that you know
How the niggers feel cold
And the slum’s got so much soul
It’s time to taste what you most fear
Right Guard will not help you here
Brace yourself, my dear
Brace yourself, my dear
It’s a holiday in Cambodia
It’s tough, kid, but it’s life
It’s a holiday in Cambodia
Don’t forget to pack a wife
Well, you’ll work harder
With a gun in your back
For a bowl of rice a day
Eve of Destruction,
.
A True Classic!

“Bodies hit the Floor!”
DrowningPool
This song is a documentary of what's been happening:
“Bonfire of the Vanities”, starting with this one.
Lunatic fringe
We know you're out there
In the twilight's last gleaming
It's open season
But you won't get too far
You have to blame someone
For your own confusion
We're en garde this time
Against your final solution
California Uber Alles by Dead Kennedys works too. Change some the names. Find some words that rhyme with Newsom.
I am Governor Jerry Brown
My aura smiles and never frowns
Soon I will be president
Carter power will soon go ‘way
I will be Führer one day
I will command all of you
Your kids will meditate in school
Your kids will meditate in school
California Über Alles
California Über Alles...
Very Dystopian,,,
Soul to Squeeze - Red Hot Chili Peppers
“I’ve got a bad disease
Up from my brain is where I bleed
Insanity it seems
Has got me by my soul to squeeze
Well all the love from thee
With all the dying trees I scream
The angels in my dreams yeah
Have turned to demons of greed”
So far no “End of the World as we know it” by Green Day
Sorry Celtic..... I missed your post for “end of the world”
Actually, I believe it was R.E.M. that did “End of The World”.
My wife suggested “We Gotta Get Out of This Place” by The Animals.
“Norman Rockwell World” Amanda and Kenny Smith version
Chorus:
“They’re just colors on a canvas
Of simple bygone days
But they paint the perfect picture
Of a time that we’ve let fade
These days my life
Is spinning like a frantic tilt-a-whirl
What I wouldn’t give to live
In a Norman Rockwell world”
“Anyway” Martina McBride
Chorus and a verse:
“God is great, but sometimes life ain’t good
When I pray it doesn’t always turn out like I think it should
But I do it anyway
I do it anyway
This world’s gone crazy and it’s hard to believe
That tomorrow will be better than today
Believe it anyway
You can love someone with all your heart
For all the right reasons
And in a moment they can choose to walk away
love ‘em anyway”

Lunatic fringe
I know you're out there
You're in hiding
And you hold your meetings
I can hear you coming
I know what you're after
We're wise to you this time (wise to you this time)
We won't let you kill the laughter
Uh-huh
Uh-huh
Uh-huh
Lunatic fringe
In the twilight's last gleaming
This is open season
But you won't get too far
'Cause you've got to blame someone
For your own confusion
But we're en garde this time
Against your final solution
Lunatic fringe
We can hear you coming (we can hear you coming)
No, you're not going to win this time
We can hear the footsteps
Out along the walkway
Lunatic fringe
We all know you're out there
Can you feel the reistance?
Can you feel the thunder?
Hey-ey-ey.
Good one.
A mighty fortress is our God,
A bulwark never failing.
Our helper He amid the flood
Of mortal ills prevailing.
For still our ancient foe
Doth seek to work us woe.
His craft and power are great,
And, armed with cruel hate,
On earth is not his equal.
Did we in our own strength confide,
Our striving would be losing,
Were not the right man on our side,
The man of God's own choosing.
Dost ask who that may be
Christ Jesus, it is He.
Lord Sabaoth, his name,
From age to age the same,
And He must win the battle.
And though this world, with devils filled,
Should threaten to undo us,
We will not fear, for God hath willed
His truth to triumph through us.
The Prince of Darkness grim,
We tremble not for him.
His rage we can endure,
For lo, his doom is sure.
One little word shall fell him.
That word above all earthly powers
Not thanks to them, abideth.
The Spirit and the gifts are ours
Through him who with us sideth.
Let goods and kindred go,
This mortal life also.
The body they may kill,
God's Truth abideth still.
His kingdom is forever...
