He popularized the Executive Finger Bang some thirty years before President Clinton, but his career was cut short a mere 1000 days into his first term.

I'm not sure why, but there seem to be a few about ol' JFK. Right off the top of my head, I can think of:

Misfits :: "Bullet"
New Race :: "November 22, 1963" [This is apparently a Destroy All Monsters original, I'm only familiar with this version]
Dion :: "Abraham, Martin and John"


Throw some more up in hurrrrrr. I'm curious if we could get 15 or so total. I think Johnny Horton or some other knucklehead made a song about the PT-109, so that's fair game too, I guess.

Not strictly about the Kennedy assassination, but it is a part of what the song is about.
Grant Lee Buffalo-Lone Star Song

Of course the Stones mention it in Sympathy for the Devil.

Asylum Street Spankers - "Lee Harvey"

Edit: I should read the whole thread first before posting.

The District Sleeps Alone Tonite -- Postal Service

"Executive Finger Bang" -- NICE PHRASING, COREY!

XTC - Ballad of Peter Pumpkinhead

jfk blown away, what else do i have to say?

"Brain of J" - Pearl Jam

1963, it looked like the world would freeze, with John F. Kennedy and the Beatles...

The Day John Kennedy Died - Lou Reed

Does Executive Finger Bang become the working title for the next Johnny Taint and the Buckets of Piss album?

Camper Van Beethoven - "Jack Ruby"

one of the greatest tracks evah

Is this the song thats like????:

"Pray for Peter Pumkin,
Pray for Peter Pumpkin-head...."
with the harp melody.

Damn, I've been wondering for a couple years who did that song since I heard it on a "retro" radio show; If that is the song, I remember the video from the Dave Kendall-era 120 Minutes. For some reason, I though it might be World Party, but I think I'm thinking of the "The Ballad of Jumbo" or whathaveyou.....

Anybody who might have this track laying around wanna send it to me?

Yep, same song - although the version most people remember was by the Crash Test Dummies (with the chick singing).

Nah, this was a dude singing and a quick scan of AMG confirms that it was from Nonsuch, etc in '92 so right on time for me to remmeber it from highschool.

I gotta go back to work, SO SOMEBODY MAKE MY FUCKING FRIDAY AND SEND ME THIS!!!!!

yail, pick up the whole album for 75 cents here:

CANS OF PISS JOCKO!!

Built To Spill - The Source...

I apologize for my faulty memory of your band's name, though in my defense, it is not as memorable as Darrin's Shambolic Trumpets. Furthermore, I figured, given your prodigious imbibing, that you could easily fill not just a tin with piss, but a pail.

Is that alright?

Point Taken

There's some song I've heard recently that has some dialogue at the end of it detailing the shooting of JFK. I have no idea what it is right now though.

Saxon - "Dallas 1 PM"

There's a poignant lyric in Billy Joel's 'We Didn't Start The Fire' about JFK.
