Modern Songs with Mao Tse Tung

[Rob_Hugo@PortNW]

As the midnight hour closed by and I sank deeper (and darker) into the internet, so did these songs. Google might be infinite but my ear drums are not. Enjoy. My favorite ones are the Public Enemy and Pet Shop Boys one...

Artist: Song

Mao Tse-tung got quite irate
And he kicked that old dictator Chiang
Out of the state of China”

“I drop seed and shot the opposition like Mao Tse Tung”
“Like Mao Tse Tung, I take it to the Young…”

6. BunnyHug: I’m Mao Tse Tung

(not on you tube, but yes on Amazon and Spotify)

Always you more equal than the rest
So hold me close to your breast
I'm mao tse tung “

7. Frederik: Mao Tse Tung

(lyrics undecipherable)

8. Pet Shop Boys: Hell

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1TP4ZEvSGU

“Here they sit
talking rot
Saddam Hussein

Mao Tse Tung
bares his gnashers

I’m Reverend Mao Tse Tung, Monk Ho Chi Minh
I’m in that Brian Jonestown Massacre zone”

“Mao Tse Tung was willing to sacrifice
300 Million innocent lives
He unchained a "cultural revolution"
As a cloak for mass executions”

• Music group: Mao Tse Tung Experience

• Then of course there’s the often confused line from David Bowie’s Space Oddity that people think goes “clown control to mao tse-tung” instead of the “ground control to major tom”

• And this thing…https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBjcZNIn-Gg (Che vs. Mao in a Historic rap Throwdown)

• and finally…South Park’s Christmas Time in Hell…https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmaMfXwlq90 “Even Mao Tse Tung is under the spell
It's Christmas time in Hell!"
