(I'll add more later. I'm stalling right now. Feel free to suggest more.)

the United States?
"I'm So Bored with the U.S.A" - The Clash
England?
"London's Burning" - The Clash
childhood?
I'm not sure right now
Marilyn Monroe?
"Who Killed Marilyn?" - The Misfits
straight sex
"Slow" - My Bloody Valentine
gay sex?
"James Bondage" - Pansy Division
necrophilia?
"Code Blue" T.S.O.L.
sports?
"High School Football Hero" - AFI
drugs?
"Heroin" - The VU
war?
"Commando" - The Ramones

the United States? "Ghost Bitch" by Sonic Youth

England? "God Save the Queen" by the Sex Pistols

childhood? "Career Opportunities" (Sandanista version) by the Clash

Marilyn Monroe? No real favorite about her, but "Celluloid Heroes" by the Kinks is my favorite that namechecks her.

straight sex? "Love Comes in Spurts" by Richard Hell & the Voidoids

gay sex? "Oh Jim" by Lou Reed

necrophilia? "I Love the Dead" by Alice Cooper for doing it first.

sports? "Take the Skinheads Bowling" by Camper Van Beethoven

drugs? "Eight Miles High" by Husker Du

war? "Masters of War" by Bob Dylan

Childhood: Banshee Beat - Animal Collective. (I don't know if this song is about childhood but it certainly feels that way to me.)
Straight sex: Instantly made me think of Real cool time by The Stooges.
Gay sex: Any song of Xiu Xiu. Pick one
Drugs: Mutiny in Heaven, duh

Can't think of any other songs for the other topics. All I gotta say is that songs about war are bound to be crap. And necrophilia, wtf?

excellent and original thread! this will actually require thinking...

straight and gay sex, drugs: the velet undrground-sister ray

drugs: spacemen 3-walkin with jesus
the velvets-heroin
13th floor elevators-roller coaster

america: the fall-us 80s to 90s

war: neil young-cortez the killer

im having trouble thinking of the others

all of my answers are based on first-thoughts (and having read nobody else's answers...

the United States? - "I'm Afraid Of Americans" - David Bowie
England? - "London's Burning" - The Clash
childhood? - "I Am A Child" - Neil Young
Marilyn Monroe? - "Sugar Kane" - Sonic Youth
straight sex? - "Little Red Corvette" - Prince
gay sex? - "Seeing Other People" - Belle And Sebastian
necrophilia? - "Coming In The Graveyard" - Venetian Snares
sports? - "Major Leagues" - Pavement
drugs? - "Purple Pills" D12
war? - "Makeshift Patriot" - Sage Francis

That question was my reason for this thread. I was driving in my car and listening to T.S.O.L. and thought to myself, " 'Code Blue' is my favorite song about necrophilia. Wow, there's quite a few songs about necrophilia. Wonder what other people's favorite is?" Obviously I wasn't going to make a thread called "What's Your Favorite Song About Necrophilia?"...so I had to think of others.

Shit, "Little Red Corvette" is the bomb! Wish I would I have remembered that.

guess yr the type of dude who believes in making out once... y'know... love em and leave em fast...

I liked the NWRA, skinheads bowling and career opp' by the way mentioned
and there are two bands that don't exist at all in my list

Yeah, it's with UK Apache, although Shy FX were kind of the 'big deal'. It's a shame they went the way of the coffee table later on.

The problem with a lot of dance music for me is that I don't DJ, so I can't be fucked collecting 12"s. There are probably thousands of brilliant jungle tunes that I don't own just because they're on 12"s. But, y'know, it's music for dancing to, not for the bedroom, so it's just as well.

I have the same problem (now). jungle just started to hit about the time I stopped buying 12"s, so the ONLY thing I have is that various artists "best of" thing (which despite being a various artists "best of" thing, I love to death).

and you really don't HAVE to dance to it. head nodding will suffice.

Maybe it's just me. I can do the head-nodding to a lot of things, but dnb/ jungle were the first things I went out raving to, so I'll forever associate it with being twatted on pills and dancing like a mental.

Out of curiosity, what's the big thing in dance in the States at the moment? Britain seems to be in a bit of a grime/ dubstep/ wonky/ Hardcore/ donk/ bassline fuzz at the moment (or at least the bits of the dance world I'm in touch with).

I didn't mean to give the impression wonky is a real thing, by the way.

Driving: The Birthday Party - Deaaaaaad Joooooeeee
War: Neil Young - Ohio

Great song and all, but I do hope you realize it's not about sex, but the one handed alternative to...

hopefully this can be answered by someone who is younger, cooler and less geographically challenged than I.

I only know jungle because it's over 15 years old.

that said, I would totally listen to wonky just to say I did.

You want to start saying 'yeah, wonky is a bit over-played I reckon' for all sorts of wanker points. Pretending to be jaded by a scene that was only made up a couple of months ago is all sorts of scene points (especially as that scene doesn't really exist).

Glice was just fucking with you. He knows full well that Wonky does exist, and that this is what it sounds like:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rAy6OQ6rab8

I'm sorry but I have no audio at work. I guess it really doesn't matter.

anyone who cares for that is obviously shit and has no sense of taste what-so-ever.

Wonky stopped being cool a couple of hours ago.

only old people, undocumented immigrants and chavs still listen to it. which are you?



I think I'm doing it right!
