Bush's Secret iPod Playlist

April 13, 2005


The political and entertainment worlds are abuzz with discussion and analysis regarding the contents of President Bush's iPod. The list, released by the White House on Tuesday, reveals a bland and predictable mix of rock classics and country.
What is much more interesting - and surprising - are the songs comprising Bush's previously secret playlist. Released only this morning under a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request, Bush's other playlist is said to include:
- "Head Like a Hole" (Nine Inch Nails)
- "American Idiot" (Green Day)
- "Sympathy for the Devil" (The Rolling Stones)
- "Rock the Casbah" (The Clash)
- "Ohio" (CSNY)
- "Girlfriend in a Coma" (The Smiths)
- "It's Raining Men" (The Weather Girls)
- "Just Like Heaven" (The Cure)
- "Spirit in the Sky" (Norman Greenbaum)
- "God's Country" (U2)
- "Cocaine" (Eric Clapton)
- "Casey Jones" (Grateful Dead)
- "One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer" (George Thoroughgood)
- "Lies" (Thompson Twins)
- "Loser" (Beck)
- "Big Mouth Strikes Again" (The Smiths)
- "What a Shame About Me" (Steely Dan)
- "War" (Edwin Starr)
- "Poppa Don't Preach" (Madonna)
- "Blinded Me with Science" (Thomas Dolby)
- "Southern Man" (Neil Young)
- "Sweet Home Alabama" (Lynrd Skynrd)
- "U.S. Blues" (Grateful Dead)
- "Straight Outta Compton" (NWA)
- "Fight the Power" (Public Enemy)
Bush's iPod supposedly contains a hidden gem: a prerelease version of Toby Keith's "Video Soldier, Real Life Cracker."

  6. Bush's Double Secert ipod list is sure to contain the OutKast anthem "Bombs over Bagdad". I was shocked that it was omitted from both rather tame lists. I Know it was blaring in my Mp3 player(and at times my loudspeaker) when I was driving my HUMMV in and around Iraq. Of couse nothing clears the streets like LUDACRIS'"Move Bitch",
    FYI: Iraqi kids love RunDMC's "It's Tricky". George(my former boss) and all you other list lovers might like it as well.

  7. Surely "Reasons" by Bush (aptly enough)?
    Though, does seem pretty short of them.

  8. Surely "Reasons" by Bush (aptly enough)?
    Though, he does seem pretty short of them.
