Rage Against The Machine for Christmas No1

This has been on a lot of the media so you might have heard but there is a campaign to try and get Rage Against The Machine's 'Killing In The Name' to top the charts at Christmas instead of whatever dross Simon Cowell pushes this year.

This would be so good if it happens.

I already join this group last week

It would love it to happen and not let the x factor song win, i am also going to buy it.

One of my faves that one!

I've had a few requests to join this group, but I can't really see the difference between some facebook group telling me what songs to buy and Simon Cowell telling me what songs to buy.

I find it ironic that they have chosen a song with the chorus, "you're under control and you do what they tell you."

Yeah the irony hasn't gone unnoticed but I figure at least it'll get a decent song on the radio for once so what the hell.

Is there a radio friendly version? They played a great set at last years Leeds festival, awesome!

I think that's the whole idea...

How on earth would they make a radio friendly version of this?

That's every second word of the last half of the track taken out and a liberal sprinking in the first half too- you may as well just have a 'hum along' version!

Classic and orgasmic.

Where's the money going for this btw?

I'll give you that to a point, but ....

If you can't see that the irony are the lyrics themselves ..... especially given the last 'refrain' .....

Putting aside for one moment the fact that I don't rate Rage Against The Machine's music much higher than the usual dross that fills the charts...

Is installing a set of millionaire rock stars (backed by the multi-billion multinational media conglomerate Sony) at number 1 really any better than having Simon Cowell’s latest freakshow on the airwaves?

Yeah man, let’s rage against capitalism all the way to the bank…
