Amy MacDonald 'This is the Life' is currently in the CD player.
Should I take it as a challenge to use some of her lyrics in my game without grinning and giving it away?
Perhaps 'I wish I knew you before' from 'Mr Rock and Roll' could be a line from the very essence of courtly love. There's a certain juxtaposition of bitter-sweetness with battle axes and single-minded brutality amongst my group there worth exploring. Or perhaps not. Maybe there's no connection.
There again - maybe?

Lehrer is a genius! The stuff from Electric Company alone ("Silent E", "N apostrophe T", "-LY") but add the "Element Song", "Poisoning Pigeons in the Park", "The Masochism Tango", and "Send the Marines" plus about 50 others and the guy is unstoppable.

I'm a big fan of The Bomb Song (So Long Mom, I'm Off to Drop the Bomb!) Something that I've always meant to do is to make a short film consisting of horrific clips of war and violence (a la Michael Moore / Serj Tankian / Project ZEITGEIST), and set it to an audio track of 'The Bomb Song' for that added touch of the surreal.

Coheed and Cambria - "The Faint of Hearts (acoustic version)"
Against Me! - "Miami"
Peter Mulvey - "Sad, Sad, Sad (and Far Away From Home)"
AFI - "Days of the Phoenix"

One of my Pandora stations, Empirical Radio: Gothic Metal played this gem:

Manowar "Warriors of the World"....Awesome. That song smacks of D&D!

Amon Amarth - "Gods of War Arise"
Saves the Day - "The End"
MC Frontalot - "Origin of Species"
and
Kyle Lang - "Counting Sheep"

Kyle's a friend of mine, and I didn't even know he was any good until about a year ago, when I saw him live. He always insisted he was just mediocre, but as far as I can tell, he's one of the best indie artists out there.
The video is by Kyle's brother Seth.

M.I.A is the reason I'm going to Bonnaroo this year.

"I'm bored of eating banana
I want guanabana
I wanna warm my buns this summer summer summer summer
Now I'm sittin' down chillin on some gun powder
