As part of our presentation on “Song of Gimmile” we asked examined protest music and satire as a way of subverting power and authority. Here’s Gimmile’s song:

“Konondjong, king of the Gindo,
He is fat, his neck is fabby.
Konondjong, king of the Gindo,
His teeth are few, his legs are swelled.
Konondjong, king of the Gindo,
His knees are bony, his head is bald.
Konondjong, king of the Gindo.”

What would you add to this playlist of protest music? What are your Songs of Change? Post links or suggestions in the comments below.
