Welcome to Weekly Walrus!
Every Monday a song category will be chosen. Think of a song that fits that category and post a youtube video in the thread.
If you like a song, thank the post! If it's not your cup of tea, then don't!
The song with the most thanks by Sunday 8pm wins! The winner chooses the next category and so on. And obviously if someone else has posted your song already you'll have to choose a different one. The early walrus catches the clam :pac: Try not to pick the same artist as others too.
A lot of unrest in the world right now so this weeks category is...
A PROTEST SONG / SONG WITH A POLITICAL MESSAGE13

Might be worth sticking the name of the song in your post, it doesn't show on YouTube thumbnails (on the touch site anyway)
For example Shane, I could see that was RATM and for a second thought you'd picked Killing In The Name, and surely we don't allow cheat codes like that

This was on my category shortlist for when my turn come round in the full Walrus. Luckily I've got 27 other ones to call on
OK, hard to narrow it down but I'll go for Skunk Anansie - Little Baby Swastikkka, a song about brainwashing kids with racist ideologies
Their debut album was derided by some as being too political, leading to their second album opening with "Yes, It's Fücking Political" 0 -

Bruce Springsteen - How Can A Poor Man Stand Such Times And Live. If you don't want to listen to Bruce giving the background to the song, skip to 1:57.

Great idea and really enjoyed listening to them all
I see we can multi-thank which is great as I would have struggled to pick just one
As much as I love Pearl Jam and Eddie Vedder I really don't think that's a great song. It's probably hugely meaningful but just doesn't suit his voice in my opinion. I'd actually never heard it before.
Ghost Town just reminds me so much of Father Ted
Used to really like Evanesence back in the day but wasn't familiar with that track and it's a quality one I must say (my first thanks!)
Not a massive Eminem fan but Mosh is a decent track. Wasn't mad about the other entry
Love Weak by Skunk Anansie but Little Baby Swastika not for me
Stiff Little Fingers is one of my favourite songs by an Irish artist and I fully appreciate the message too which is lost on me in some of the songs
Christy Moore is someone I can take or leave but really enjoyed that track
2Pac is not my normal type of music at all but the lyrics resonate at the moment with the way the world is.
Good morning of listening!0 -
My nomination, which I know won't win but is for a band I love listening to at the moment
Rise Against - Audience of One (Ghost Note Symphonies)
Just a note on the meaning of the song:
The music video features an eight-year-old boy who resembles George W. Bush playing with a miniature world, and throughout the video the boy plays with objects depicting high gas prices, the war in Iraq, the funeral of a soldier, Abu Ghraib prison, the devastation of Hurricane Katrina, deforestation, house foreclosures, gay marriage, and illegal immigration before going to bed in the White House. It also features Rise Against performing in a miniature White House lawn, which the boy smashes before the end of the video.0 -

I'm having a shït day at work which is probably why I'm being very harsh here, only two songs got my thanks
2pac, Changes - wouldn't have expected this. Not listened to much 2pac and rap isn't generally my bag but this is brilliant
War? SOAD - it felt like being pinned against the wall by my throat and shouted at. I think that's a good thing for a protest song!
I'll have another listen when I'm in a better mood, might spread the love a little more!
