Dick Cheney is resting comfortably after experiencing chest pains. In today’s QOTD we’re sending out musical wishes to this former Vice President.
How about Bullet and a Target, by Citizen Cope? Yuk, yuk…
The song that I think of when I hear his name mentioned is “Fire” by The Crazy World of Arthur Brown. You gonna burn, burn, burn…
Darth Vader’s theme music from Star Wars!
I will probably be in a distinct minority, but for helping to keep America safe after 9/11, I suggest I Thank You by Sam and Dave.
You’re kidding, right?!
A song that reminds me of Dick Chaney?
You have opened a can-of-worms with that ‘Thought’!
Okay –
“Monster” (Steppenwolf)
“Heart” (Rockpile)
“American Idiot” (Green Day)
“A Thin Line Between Love & Hate” (The Pretenders)
“Unknown Soldier” (The Doors)
“Handsome Johnny” (Richie Havens)
“WAR” (Edwin Starr)
“Heart Attack” (Divas on the Dance Floor)
“Heart Attack” (Thin Lizzy)
Good morning,
Ohhhh – so many ways to go with the Dick Cheney songs – but let’s just try a couple:
Norah Jone’s version of Cold, Cold Heart comes to mind.
Adele: Melt My Heart to Stone?
Zee Avi: Bitter Heart
OK – I could keep going on this cold hearted theme – but I’ll stop there.
Hope I don’t get stuck in a meeting and miss the set this morning.
P.S. I only wish I could think of a song about penguins since he always reminds me of The Penguin from Batman
What better song than “Sympathy for the Devil” by the Rolling Stones?
How Long – Kenny White
I suggest The Gin Blossoms “Till I hear it from You” The line that says “I don’t want to take advice from Fools” describes Vice President Dick Cheney Perfectly .
SYmpathy for the Devil – Rolling Stones
Send Lawyers Guns and Money – Warren Zevon
Well, the first one that comes to mind would be “War Pigs” by Black Sabbath, but that probably isn’t gonna fly…:)
“Fading Into Obscurity” by Sloan (I hope)
“All Men Are Liars” by Nick Lowe
Roland The Headless Thompson Gunner by Warren Zevon
Metaphorically, of course.
Or not.
Prince of Darkness the Indigo Girls
The question is who does Dick Chaney think he is right?
What an awful thought to wake up to! (and i’m not even a Democrat)
But the perfect song popped right into my head, with no thought at all, just like our beoved ex-vice president.
“Something is not Right With Me,” Cold War Kids
Have a sane day!
“Creep” (Radiohead)
Although that would require a level of self-awareness that he’s probably incapable of. Maybe if the hospital doses him with something that strips away some of his self-delusions….
a timely ? of the day as Dick Cheney was in the midst of his “Legacy Tour” (thanks, Bill Mahr) on the Sunday Morning talk shows…accidently shot a friend while hunting (where?) and walked!!- what if it was one of us?…(how coincidental that former Secretary of State Alexander Haig also recently hospitalized: remember his “I’m in charge here!” following attempted Reagan assassination and subsequent hospitalization?)…”Powderfinger”- perhaps the mellow version as sung by Margo Timmins of Cowboy Junkies? (since you already intro’d this topic with Neil Young’s “Only Love Can break your Heart”)…
I shot the sherriff – bob marley
When I hear Springsteen,s Point Blank I think of Dickie.
“lawyers guns and money” Warren Zevon.
“Hey Joe” by Jimi Hendrix.
“Masters of War” by Bob Dylan.
Idiot Wind…..dylan
Good morning!
A song for Dick Cheney?
He’s a dick
He’s a prick
He should fall down on a stick!
If there is a song called Die, Die, Die!
Play it!
I hate the man he is trying to destroy our country!
All the best for a wonderful day!
Sinatra’s My Way
Is Sympathy for the Devil by The Rollingstones
another stretch in an attempt to hear a favorite cover song: “How Deep is Your Love”- “The Bird and the Bee”….since love comes from the heart…ps get well soon, Dick (and bury the hatchet re: Obama- but not in his back!)….
How about “Chest Fever” by The Band, “I’ve Got A Feeling” by The Beatles, and “Spaceman’, by .Harry Nillson. 9For its openning line.)
“Cold Cold Heart” – Hank Williams
“Bastard” – Ian Hunter
“Loser” – Beck
“Positively 4th Street” – Bob Dylan
So many choices! Think I’ll go with:
Dylan-Masters of War
Have a great, although rainy, day!
idiot wind by dylan for the question of the day!
Hope he has good health insurance.
1.”Under My thumb”-Stones
2.”Heart of Stone”
3.”Achy-Breaky heart”
But I nominate “Country Death Song” by the Violent Femmes
For Dick Cheney:Jimi Hendrix “Hey, Joe.”
(Where you goin’ with that gun in your hand?)
Two for you …
Shotgun – Jr. Walker and the All-Stars
Fish Ain’t Bitin’ – Lamont Dozier
Fish Ain’t Bitin’ includes the lyrics:
And meanwhile in DC
Tricky Dick is trying to be slick
And the short is off the stick
Because I’m gonna get it
Tricky Dick, please quit
Here are just a few songs I think of when I think of Dick Cheney. First and foremost, war comes to mind.
Masters of War, Bob Dylan
Oliver’s Army, Elvis Costello
War, Edwin Starr
Eve of Destruction, Barry McGuire
What’s Going On, Marvin Gaye
You see a theme here?
When I think of Cheney or any VP, this thought comes to me:
“Just a Heartbeat Away” by Vixen.
If I heard correctly (???) today’s QOD is songs about Dick Cheney? WTF??
Two choices:
Gil Scott-Heron’s The Revolution Will Not Be Televised
Slick / Kantner’s Flowers In The Night (Baron von Tollbooth and the Chrome Nun)
My Hero… Foo Fighters.
Working Class Hero.. John Lennon
Scum Of The Earth – The Kinks
Actually about an evil man seeking redemption when confronted by his soul….
Howlin Rain – “Dancers at the End of Time”
Not because it stirs a sense of Cheneyan apocalyptic delight, but because he just
walked out to their music at a recent tea bagging…

Ahhhh, there are so many choices that come to mind: Carly Simon’s “You’re so Vain”…..Patsy Cline’s “Crazy”……..but I think I will go with the obvious:
Napoleon XIV’s “They’re Coming to take Me Away, Ha Ha….”
How about “I’m Your Puppet” (I don’t know the artist)?
His death can’t come soon enough….
No Mercy – Nils Lofgren
Without a doubt, a song for Dick Cheney.
Frank Sinatra’s “My Way”
Masters of War by Dylan.
Bob Dylan, hard rains gonna fall.
Tax man, or super bowl shuffle- Ditka is the only man who should survive 2 heart attacks
Fire- the crazy world of arthur brown
First thing that comes to mind, from the Freewheelin Bob Dylan – “Masters of War”
My Hero by the Foo Fighters
Workingman’s Hero by John Lennon
I didn’t hear the set but I can’t believe nobody on here suggested Valerie Plame by The Decemberists.
Cheney’s Toy By James McMurtry
Waist Deep in the Big Muddy…..
Being of an age to be eligible for the draft at the beginning of the Vietnam War, I can’t think of a better song for Dick Cheney and his 6 deferments would be “Draft Dodger Rag” by Phil Ochs.
