“Who’s Your Daddy?” by the Zombies (1970)
Background sung by Lisa Madigan, Todd Stroger & family members, Emil “Electifying” Jones and family members, and the Daley family choir.
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

Tennessee Ernie Ford’s “16 Tons” with the chorus
“You load sixteen tons, and what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt.
Saint Peter, don’t you call me, ’cause I can’t go;
I owe my soul to the company store…”

The Eagles : Lyin’ Eyes
You can’t hide your lyin’ eyes
And your smile is a thin disguise
I thought by now you’d realize
The governor can’t hide his lyin’ eyes

“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)
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”
“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.
