Songs that could (but don't) reference the global banking crisis
I don't know about you, but I've had it up to here with Soulflower's pontificating in her thread about how current artists, sorry, mainstream artists, sorry pop artists, sorry big pop artists etc etc etc don't write about social issues, so here's something to relieve that a little maybe.
Nobody of course (that I know of) wrote any songs specifically against what happened with the global financial bust, but there are plenty of songs that could be used to illustrate it, so post yours. Basically, anything to do with money, banks, homes, mortgages, gambling, getting away with murder and so on. I know this situation is certainly not funny, but it almost is a thing to laugh at when you see how the perpetrators of this global fiasco have been "dealt with"... So all in fun then, here are some obvious choices and maybe one not so obvious
