Re: topical pop songs?
by Bruno N 10 Apr '03

Working at a radio station, typically, we need to find songs which pertain to a certain topic/subject. I have found the "Green Book" most helpful for searching for information on topical pop songs. You can probably find it in just about any bookstore. Amazon is currently selling the newest edition -- http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0939735202/qid=1050011338/sr=2-1/ref… Here's other information about the Green Book. Sorry, I can't provide you with any songs, but if this is something you'll be wondering about, the book is worth the investment. Happy Hunting. Rock on. Bruno With over 35,000 songs classified in almost 1800 logical categories, this is an important reference tool for songwriters, disc jockeys, production companies, researchers, and trivia buffs. Since the fourth edition (1995), more than 14,000 songs and 905 categories and subcategories have been added, as has an effective subject index with cross references. Green, executive editor of the trade publication Radio & Records, comes about as close as possible to being exhaustive, offering both well-known and relatively obscure songs that range from jazz and popular standards to rap and television jingles. He also supplies discographical information about currently available recordings of songs. Although the omission of Chicago's mid-1970s hits "Old Days" and "Harry Truman" from the categories of "Remember" and "Presidents," respectively, shows that the book is not entirely comprehensive, it is still an impressive feat. Green began developing the book in 1977, so this edition marks its 25th anniversary. While most useful to disc jockeys and those in advertising, this unique work will most certainly find users in public and academic libraries. Highly recommended. James E.

Re: topical pop songs?

Andy, It's too bad you have a limited scope rule because I think the Dead Kennedys song "Kill the Poor" perfectly sums up all aspects of Bush Jr's policies. Prophecy. A lot of Gil Scott-Heron's songs would work, e.g. "Johannesburg" (apartheid), "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised" (corporate media), "B-Movie" (iconography of Reagan). His relatively recent "Work for Peace" is a funny rap about the military-industrial complex: "The military and monetary/Get together whenever they think it's necessary/ They turn our brothers and sisters into mercenaries/They are turning the planet into a cemetary/ The military and monetary/ Use the media as intermediaries/They are determined to keep the citizens secondary...." and on and on. Les Diaboliques (Maggie Nicols, Joelle Leandre, Irene Schweizer) "Diverse Mood Swings" criticizes, in a roundabout way, the widespread use of Paxil/Prozac type drugs. Plus it's pretty damn cool to hear R.D. Laing being name-dropped in a jazz tune.
