For those about to hock ... We salute you

By Richard McComb on Feb 12, 09 03:22 PM in

My foray into guitar playing (see previous) inspired me to compile a Recession Rock Top Ten.

These are tunes to chime with our credit-crunched times. I'd love to know your suggestions. Puns please (i.e Broke on the Water) rather than literals (i.e. Money for Nothing). Incidentally, Dire Straits nominations/fans are banned. Here's my list:

Recession Rock Top Ten

Broke on the Water - Deep Purple
I Predict a Buy-Out - Kaiser Chiefs
It's Only Rock 'n' Dole (But I Like It) - Rolling Stones
Sale On - Commodores
Debt Back - Beatles
Are You Owed Some Tonight? - Elvis
I Shot the Accountant - Eric Clapton
London Falling - The Clash
Bitter Sweet Sub-Prime Lease - The Verve
We Will Hock You - Queen
