Disorder In The House: A Playlist For A Carolina Liar, Joe Wilson

As a general rule of procedure, I don't waste much time making playlists for fools on the federal payroll. In the case of Representative Joe Wilson, I'll make an exception -- if only to try and shut up this loudmouth for at least a little while.

"Disorder in the House" -- Warren Zevon
"Bigmouth Strikes Again" -- The Smiths
"Liar, Liar" -- Deborah Harry
"Too Rude" -- The Rolling Stones
"Little Liar" -- Joan Jett
"Fools" - Diane Birch
"Beautiful Liar" -- Beyonce and Shakira
"Little Lies" -- Fleetwood Mac
"Rude Boys Back In Town" - Michael Franti & Spearhead
"Liar" -- The Meters
"Love In The Lies" - Amos Lee
"Crazy People" - The Wreckers
"Lies" -- Nancy Sinatra
"Liar" -- Queen
"Smash Lies" -- Matisyahu
"Shut Up" -- Black Eyed Peas
"Lies" -- Stephen Stills
"Liar" -- Nazareth
"Lies" -- J. J. Cale
"Lies" -- Joe Firstman
"Dance Little Liar" -- Arctic Monkeys
"Shut Up And Drive" -- Rihanna
"Don't Speak Liar" -- We The Kings
"Coming To Terms" -- Carolina Liar

Please add your songs for Joe, and tell me what you think this rude Representative really represents.

How about anything from Southern Culture On The Skids - just saying tthat makes me chuckle, and it's built-in social commentary.

I'd go for just about anything by Southern Culture on the Skids - just saying that makes me chuckle and is a built-in social commentary. Fortunately, they're from North Carolina.

And "Shut the F-- Up" by Cake.

I like your taste and your range, Joe.
To quote another Argent song, "Hold Your Head Up," sir

[jalowe1957]

How about the Staple Singers' "Washington, We're Watching You?"

[David Wild - Huffpost Blogger]

Love the Staples -- must track that track down.

Thanks

"Wonderful Remark" - Van Morrison
"RESPECT" - Aretha Franklin
"You Haven't Done Nothin'" - Stevie Wonder [Originally about Nixon, but it fits. Plus, it has the amazing added benefit of the Jackson 5 singing backup.]
"Pastime Paradise" - Stevie Wonder
Too many Dylan songs to name. "Idiot Wind," would be my first choice, but since it's been named, I'll go with, "Masters of War." Well, minus the death-wish.

[David Wild - Huffpost Blogger]

Love the Van song -- I hope we're using it ironically here, but and Belfast Cowboy is good by me. And maybe it reminds us that Joe Wilson is an accidental "King of Comedy"

[stevefromkelso]

[David Wild - Huffpost Blogger]

Ladies and gentlemen, Tom Caufield is a BRILLIANT singer-songwriter whose songs have made other playlists. And so it's no surprise that his playlist is so inspired. My favorite -- the Steely Dan. They have the proper wry tone to handle such idiocy.

Thank you Tom. Your latest album is great too.

[kathy001]

I agree, "Only a Fool Would Say That" is great!! I had already faved "Idiots Rule" but I had to fav this one, too.

[doc roq]

Great list but left off:

Liar Liar-The Castaways,

c'mon David it was a natural!

[David Wild - Huffpost Blogger]

doc rop, thanks but I chose the Debbie Harry cover that I've always loved instead. But you arer correct, it is fantastic -- thanks

[kathy001]

"Stupid MF" - Mindless Self Indulgence

"Sorry for the Stupd Things" - Baby Face
In particular the lines: "Sometimes the fool doesn't know he's a fool, Sometimes a dog doesn't know he's a dog."

"Dare To Be Stupid" - Weird Al Yankovic

I could go on but I believe I've made my point about what I think Wilson really represents - and is.

[David Wild - Huffpost Blogger]

"Dare To Be Stupid" has a certain ring of truth for Joe.
Thanks kathy001

'Idiot's Rule' - Jane's Addiction (Totally applies to the neocons) (Perry wrote it while Poppy began effing things up.

They got a lie
Fat f**kin lie about the law
Idiots obey they made it easy
The cheaters have their way.
you hi-di-ho's!
you're living on your knees
forget the rule!
oh-idiots rule!
forget the rule!
oh-idiots rule!

now there's a time...
but i say none like now
there's a line
where idiots are bound
if there's a pole
planted in your back
then you're a fixture
not a man
forget the rule
oh-idiots rule!
forget the rule!
oh-idiots rule!

idiots!
idiots rule!
idiots!
idiots rule!
idiots!
idiots rule!

you know that man
you hate?
you look more like him
every day everyday
hi-di-hos!
2 good shoes
won't save your soul
idiots rule!
idiots rule!

'1%' also by Jane's Addiction

Very interesting and eclectic choices Otto -- like the "Shout" sense -- opens up more songs. And "I'm Not There" is amazing even though I need to listen again to see how it applies.

[kathy001]

LOL! "Act Naturally" is such a great choice. I never would have thought of that one but it's perfect.
