I think American Idiot should be the theme music for any TV channel covering the event.
There has to be some good Metal songs that are appropriate. Three from Sunn o))) that I have found:
Cursed Realm (of the winterdemons)
Fried Eagle Mind (Followed by Blood Swamp. He can drain that.)
Herod 2014 (which I am sure could be renamed Herod 2017).
Mostly based on the titles. I think we do need the apocalyptic mood of death drone metal music. The sort that plays over a desolate post-apocalypse wasteland in films.

What's So Funny About Peace, Love, and Understanding?
Keep Your Eyes on the Prize
Bruce Springsteen's "Promised Land" ( I currently don't have a president, but I sure as hell have a Boss.)"Badlands" might be better, can't decide.
I would suggest "This Land is Your Land", but I doubt the assembled crowd would get the irony.

It might be too subtle a connection for many, but Liszt's 'Les Préludes,' with its echoes of Nuremburg rallies and the Nazi invasion of USSR makes waaay to many connections. IMNSHO (Besides, it's a great piece!)

Gotta be Nellie the Elephant, hasn't it? Perhaps with some special words for the Inauguration:
To DC
A travelling circus came
With an unintelligent elephant
And Donald was his name.
Lots of tricks
For Donald to perform
He told them all he'd build a wall
And he took the crowd by storm
Chorus:
Donald the elephant packed his trunk
And blundered off to the White House
Off he went with a trumpety-trump
Trump trump trump...
(Da capo ad nauseam).

Then there's a variation on the juvenile version:
Donald the elephant packed his trunk
And blundered off to the shite House
Off he went for a dumpety-dump
Dump dump dump...

Dear Kelly, we would never, never do that in Heaven. ![[Two face]](graemlins/scot_twoface.gif) However, I believe the Heavenly Hosts are due a boon? Or points, even? ![[Snigger]](graemlins/snigger.gif)
I think I will be playing Dies Irae from the Mozart Requiem. Day of wrath, indeed. And there's a trump(et) in it, too.
As the other thread suggests, the Imperial March from Star Wars would be appropriate.

Last night I posted on facebook asking my friends what they thought the National Cathedral's choir should sing, seeing that they will be singing...
During the course of the discussion, I suggested:
Judge Eternal
Drop, Drop Slow Tears (Especially since this is a man who has claimed to have never needed to ask for God's forgiveness)
Any number of penitent Psalms in Anglican chant
O Holy City Seen of John
Any setting of the Dies Irae
Something in Russian
Here's some of my favorites from friends' responses (some of whom are shipmates):
Let My People Go
God of Grace and God of Glory
Remember, O Thou Man
Turn Back, O Man
Any setting of the Magnificat
The Kontakion

If something in Russian is required, and the resident Orthodoxen could countenance this without a shout of "Outrage!!", a sotto voce "Gospodi pomilui" could be sung as a chant throughout.
This is the Russian (church Slavonic) equivalent of Kyrie Eleison.

here's a fantastic setting of MLK's we have a dream speech to Woodlands (Tell out my soul) by Michael Foster.
First verse is:
We have a dream: this nation will arise,
and truly live according to its creed,
that all are equal in their makers eyes,
and none shall suffer through another’s greed.

I love how on the album, that song is immediately followed by the mock-Edwardian foppishness of Lazing On A Sunday Afternoon. Queen was pretty much at home in any musical genre you could name.

It's Hard to be Humble. (Mac Davis)
"Oh Lord it's hard to be humble
When you're perfect in every way.
I can't wait
To look in the mirror.
Cause I get better looking each day.
To know me is to love me.
I must be a hell of a man.
Oh Lord It's hard to be humble,
But I'm doing the best that I can. "
(It's even a country song, a genre I generally loathe)

I do remember the song, but I'd forgotten just how vitriolic (and, as it turns out, appropriate to the circumstances) the words were.

I'd forgotten about 'Death on Two Legs'. Perfect.
In a spirit of unity, I would like to propose Weird Al Yankovic's parody of 'Happy': Tacky . It even references Kanye West, who I understand has visited Trumpington Towers (see, he's not racist: some of his best friends are black).
Also, if the Episcopalian choir really are going to sing they can get away with ANYTHING provided it's in Latin. I suggest Dies Irae.

Yeah, Dies Irae sounds so macho The Donald would love it and he'd vaguely recognize it from an SUV commercial.
