I've nicked this ide of the radio fro way back but I thought it might inspire...

Everyday someone picks a News Story and then you have to come up with songs that "fit" that story.

I'll start off with an easy one the world economy is in a downslide with the Recession.


My first 3 tracks would be...

Money (That's What I Want) - The Flying Lizards
Time Tough - The Toots and the Maytals
Money - Pink Floyd

What would be yours ....????

This is the first song that's come to my mind too!

So I'd say:

bullet with butterfly wings-the smashing pumkins

lovesick-bob dylan i'm cheating with this one, but this song was used in a victoria's secret's ad, fulfilling dylan's wish to only sell out if he could "sell ladies undergarments"

Well, I was hoping today's topic was going to be "Pregnant Woman Running From Bear Gets Hit by Car," but this is good, too. It all happens in Detroit, doesn't it?

Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)
