The fiscal cliff in song

Heard this on PRI's The Takeaway earlier today

The Fiscal Cliff, in Song - The Takeaway

While Starbucks is pushing the Beatles "Come Together", there are some other interesting possibilities.

Since this is a creative bunch, what other songs would you recommend to include on the FIRE Playlist for Congress?

I'll start off with this classic:
The Rolling Stones - You Can't Always Get What You Want (Live 1969) - YouTube

Let's keep it civil and avoid Porky...please.

ZZ Top "Give it Up"

The issue is real enough, the melodrama couldn't be less so...

[Purron]

.
Cream - Politician (Farewell Concert - Extended Edition) (4 of 11) - YouTube

 

[Purron]

Not a song, but seems appropriate.

Argument Clinic - YouTube

So now it appears the House won't vote today regardless of what the Senate does, so we're officially 'going over the cliff.' In itself, not a big deal.

At least they waited until the (US) markets had closed, no accident I suspect. Wed could be interesting as Wall St 'punishes' DC...

Not a song, but seems appropriate.

+1 on song and video clip.

Over the cliff we go, over the cliff we go.

Never underestimate the power of not getting anything done

Getting back to the thread topic, which is fiscal cliff in songs, this one comes to mind this morning
