:notworthy

I have to say, Dennis Leary gets my vote every time. There is really no competition here. Leary offers us the quintessential American, defined by none other than the ultimate quintessential American!

As much as I like Leary's I'm an Asshole, I've gotta go with Woody Guthrie's This Land is Your Land. We're talking the original version, of course, as opposed to the sanitized, chopped-down version that appears in so many music books.

My vote's for Rush's Beneath, Between, and Behind. The lyrics are appropriate, and besides, Rush rocks.

Whew. Still laughing.

These would make good National Anthems:

Why Won't Jesse Helms Just Hurry Up And Die?

Verse 1
Big fat fuck from North Carolina state,
he's a worthless piece of shit, he's a paragon of hate,
he's a redneck, fuck-face, brain-dead waste of space,
two-bit, two-timing, motherfucking pool of slime.
Against gay rights, and funding for the arts,
tried to cancel PBS and tear Big Bird apart.
cut AIDS funding, corporate welfare for the rich,
he's a shameless money grubber, he's a two dollar bitch.

Chorus
Why won't Jesse Helms just hurry up and die?

Verse 2
Fundamentalist, fuckwad, dickless prick,
he's ugly as a morlock, dumb as a brick.
He's a sack of shit, hypocrite, single-minded, fat bigot,
punk bitch, ignorant, ass-munch sycophant.
Life long friend of the deadly cancer sticks,
thinks AIDS is the fault of the people it inflicts.
Racist fuck who supports segregation,
foe of the people friend of the corporation.

Chorus

Breakdown
Uh.
Damn.
Get up, get up!

Guitar Solo

Chorus

Trash Talk
Yo Jesse, you dumb-ass, racist, cracker motherfucker!
Why the fuck won't you just hurry up and die?
And take that punk-bitch Strom Thurmond with you!

And another:

Fuck The Creationists

Trash Talk
Ah yeah, here we go again!
Damn! This is some funky shit that I be laying down on your ass.
This one goes out to all my homey's working in the field of
evolutionary science.
Check it!

Verse 1
Fuck the damn creationists, those bunch of dumb-ass bitches,
every time I think of them my trigger finger itches.
They want to have their bullshit, taught in public class,
Stephen J. Gould should put his foot right up their ass.
Noah and his ark, Adam and his Eve,
straight up fairy stories even children don't believe.
I'm not saying there's no god, that's not for me to say,
all I'm saying is the Earth was not made in a day.

Chorus
Fuck, fuck, fuck,
fuck the Creationists.

Trash Talk
Break it down.
Ah damn, this is a funky jam!
I'm about ready to kick this bitch back in.
Check it.

Verse 2
Fuck the damn creationists I say it with authority,
because kicking their punk asses be me paramount priority.
Them wack-ass bitches say, "evolution's just a theory",
they best step off, them brainless fools, I'll give them cause to fear me.
The cosmos is expanding every second, every day,
but their minds are shrinking as they close their eyes and pray.
They call their bullshit science like the word could give them cred,
if them bitches be scientists then cap me in the head.

Chorus

Trash Talk
Bass!
Bring that shit in!
Ah yeah, that's right, fuck them all motherfuckers.
Fucking punk ass creationists trying to set scientific thought back 400 years.
Fuck that!
If them superstitious motherfuckers want to have that kind of party,
I'm going to put my dick in the mashed potatoes.
Fucking creationists.
Fuck them.

How about Yes's Nous Sommes du Soliel? At a run time of about 25 minutes, it'll give people more time to get to their respective sporting events before the event starts.

As much as I love Rush, I can't see picking one of their songs, since one of the points of the exercize is having an anthem than can be sung by normal mortals. I can't sing as high as Geddy Lee, and I'm a chick!

Considering the state of education and culture in this country, I'm voting for The Hokey Pokey.
