    Opening lyrics to “Welcome to the Bungle” -
    Welcome to the bungle
    You’ll get screwed here every day
    We’ll take everything you got
    Honey we’re taking names
    We are the people that can take
    Whatever you may have
    If you got the money honey
    We got your tax increase

    Chorus:
    Illinois bungle
    Welcome to the bungle
    Watch it bring you to your n,n,n,n,,n,n,,n,n,n,,n,n,,n knees, knees
    I wanna watch your wallet bleed

    I owe my soul to the company store…”

    Too easy.

    “Jailhouse Rock”, followed closely by “Money Makes Ze Verld Go Rount” (from the musical “Cabaret”), “Money for Nothin’” by Dire Straits, and finally “Love for Sale” (the Lobbyists Song)


  26. - anonymous - Thursday, May 17, 07 @ 3:42 pm:

    each leader needs their own song for the Speaker-Michael Row the Boat Ashore for President Jones, Respect, and for the Governor, he needs a musical how about Hair? and instead of the song “Aquarius” it could be renamed “Blagojevich”


  27. - Concerned Voter - Thursday, May 17, 07 @ 4:02 pm:

    “I’m so tired”. Not the Beatles one, but the one by Lilly von schtup in Mel Brook’s Blazing Saddles, because we are all getting skewered by the politicians and so tired of it.


  28. - Papa Legba - Thursday, May 17, 07 @ 4:40 pm:

    For Rod. “I did it my way” and C, S & N’s - “Into the Darkness”.
    Stones - “Ventilator Blues” for the states fiscal situation.
