How about some Agit Prop. I listened to this poo poo all the time as a kid. I mean I listened to other stuff as well but these are hell of catchy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7RO2kKqyK5o Translation mine because I don't know where the text is from. I didn't know whether or not to put "a" in front of party but I think it's more  this way so there.Even the most important words are worn by use Washed out like our suits But I want to raise into the greatest glory The most noble of words: Party! Alone not even a man of note Could raise a five-span log Not to mention a five-story house, five-story house. Party! Party - millions of shoulders Firmly joined as a huge force Party - with co-operation builds Its structures cloud-high! Party! Party - spine of the working class! Party - unfailing support of the poor! Party gives our ideals immortality Today serving; Tomorrow the empires of robber barons Wiping off the map The empires of robber barons Wiping off the map Brains of the class, cause of the class Strength of the class, honour of the class Brains of the class, cause of the class Strength, honour of the class The party is all of that! Brains of the class, cause of the class Strength of the class, honour of the class Brains of the class, cause of the class Strength, honour of the class The party is all of that! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBU5OwPCczc This one is Brecht's Lob des Lernens so I won't provide a translation here. According to the Youtube blurb this isn't the original composition by Hanns Eisler but a newer one by Eero Ojanen. e: Eh I guess I'll throw in Tapio Rautavaara's rendition of Ontuva Eriksson (Limping Eriksson) which isn't exactly political but ham-fisted social commentary* is pretty D&D, right? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SpjESEykWe8 Bad translation mine again. Limping Eriksson is dead and many are pleased. He won't be shambling to park gates to beg anymore. Though many are escorted down into the peace of the graveyard with tears, no-one cried for you... Or did they, Eriksson? And now he has left his parks, he has arrived in heaven. Not quite inside, but at the gate, he remains with his hat. Get a little bit closer to the gates, so you'll see what has been promised. You can hope to be part of it yourself... Or could [sic] you, Eriksson? Such a celebration has he never seen on earth. And wonder - the pauper is now being handed alms. Now they're showing in front of the creator how good the devout are. And fill your hat with advice... Is that enough, Eriksson? Finally night fell in heaven and the gates were being closed. Right in front of a limping man, and the key was turned. You already experienced this on earth. It has been your lot. And your lot is also to remain quiet... Or is it, Eriksson? The man limps quietly behind the wall and seeks safety in his coat. At least it won't rain tonight and there are no police around. It's probably best for you to be behind the gates of heaven. The music of the harps would be too much... Or would it, Eriksson? *) Or possibly just a straight-up morality play. 3D Megadoodoo fucked around with this message at 00:39 on Apr 13, 2014 |
