Title: Simple song that deals with a world issue
Post by: the_bub_from_the_pit on October 30, 2007, 12:39:43 am

So uh, I just got assigned a project in my World Issues class (hello joke course), and our project is pretty much to perform a song that deals with a world issue.  My friend and I were going to do Tenacious D's Tribute, and just change the lyrics around, but due to a time constraint (must be performed by Thursday/Friday) and a loaded schedule, I can't learn the solo and all that quickly. So I need some recommendations on some fairly simple songs that have (or could incorporate) 2 guitars, perferably 1 electric and 1 acoustic, but it doesn't really matter.  Think...protest songs of the 60s, or something (this was the example our teacher gave us). A world issue could deal with war, poverty, environmental issues, etc.

Any suggestions?
