Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

'Underneath'


Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Plus it included the elusive Fifth Beatle, who turns out to be an old lady.

She stole Paul's sandals!

Where do you come from? Where do you go? What is your scene, baby? We just gotta know.

American Woman by the Guess Who.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I would add Springsteen's Born in the USA and any number of Mellencamp songs to the list.

They are both American.

Yep, but I thought from David's suggestions that had been added.

Pointed Sticks - "American Song" [link]

D.O.A. - "America the Beautiful" [link]

David Bowie - I'm Afraid Of Americans [link]

Celibate Rifles - Thank You America [link]

Billy Bragg - "Help Save the Youth of America" [link] (and I'm sure lots of others)

Robyn Hitchcock - "America" [link] (abstractly negative?)

Ann, that's a ferret.

Wanted to add Green Day's "American Idiot," but they're also from the USA.

John Lennon wrote and recorded a lot of anti-war songs when the USA was involved in the Vietnam War, but there isn't a lot of criticism of the USA as such in them. Though maybe the Beatles as a group make the list with "Get Back"?
