iPod iChing -Good for aMerica

Brrrrrrr... another frosty friday, eh.

So, modulo the vagaries of The Powers That Be, what, Oh Mighty iPod One, is to be the Fate of the US Automobile Manufacturers?

Whoosh goes the randomizer.
Whoosh.

Hm, The Covering is one of the most cynical icelandic punk songs ever written.
The Crossing is a kindergarten "countdown" song: "How many Monkeys are left in the tree?: There are none!"

The Root:
"Outside Goldsmith's coughing up blood,
Turner Prize judge gasps "Christ that's good -
Leave it as it is, it'll get first place
We'll call it a full shift at the coal face"
Oh well you're neither a Stuckist or a YBA
and you're no longer a miner as of today"

The Future, Bílavísur, is the song of the car...
"Wow! There he is! Yes
Cool! It's
Ford Model Nineteen -Hundred-
And-I-Don't-Know-What "

The Inside: "The Quiet Evening" - "the factory sits alone and quiet/because everyone moved south" - the quiet of the destruction of the industry, doomed by their Ruler and Lord, who smirked as he doomed them all and abandoned them to the banks.

One of my old favourites.

The Outcome:

As always, the Key as explained by Sean

The Past?

Actually this is a bloomin' brilliant variation on the classic - worth listening to.
Seriously, this is one of the best riffs on it I've heard, and I heard a great many.
