Im reading Huck Finn in school right now, and I need to find 5 songs that relate to the book. I have Warrant- Uncle Tom's Cabin, and I need 4 more, and ideas guys?

Maidens "Wrathchild"

racism = Type O Negative - Kill All the White People & We Hate Everyone

alcoholic = Savatage - Hand Full of Rain

struggle = Savatage - Chance

if you want racism...download some Johnny Rebel...thats racism times 1000

also...how about..

Proud Mary by Creedance Clearwater Revival

its about "rollin' on a river" similar to what huckleberry fin did with Jim (if i recall, thats the slave's name)

or angry aryans

Or stop being fags and get Vaginal Jesus. Angry Aryans are fucking pop stars compared to Vaginal Jesus. I don't see AA with a song called "I Hate Niggers" do you?

i may be missing the point, but if you can relate it to a song by Finntroll then i didnt

Racism - Rahowa - Third Reich!

"You wake up i the morning, you come up to the tower, you say it to yourself it's nigger killing hour, they say it's wrong, you know it's right - goodness gracious, Third reich!"

Try something by Deaths head, Brutal Attack, Rahowa, and Warfare 88 - you've got racism pretty much covered there.

Well, considering that Huck Finn and Mark Twain's writng in general are extremely anti-racist, and it seems very few suggestions so far have any viability, maybe go with something like:

S.O.D.-We All Bleed Red
Anthrax-Keep it in the Family

For the other themes, try:

Overkill-The Years of Decay
Anthrax-In My World (Actually has a line or two that are paraphrased from the book)
Megadeth-Family Tree (Sort of)

The aformentioned Exodus-Like Father, Like Son is a great example though.

I can't believe how stupid most of you are. He's not looking for a song from some stupid redneck screaming "nigger fucking jew" into the microphone 100x in 30 seconds, dumbasses, he's looking for something from the perspective of somebody who has to put up with racism. Why are you all so unperceptive? Daft monkeys, the whole lot of you.

Unfortunately, most on topic songs are dealing with modern racism in urban areas, not racism from 150+ years ago in rural Missouri. Within metal, your pickings are slim, perhaps- Nuclear Assault's "Equal Rights".

If you are looking for something more in depth, perhaps some Public Enemy, I actually have a perfect song in mind, in depth and historically accurate, it'd be very on topic, you can hear it for yourself and decide. It's obviously not metal. If you want either of the songs, I'll send them to you, PM me your e-mail addy.

When I first saw this post, the first thing that came into my mind was Rush's "Tom Sawyer", it has nothing to do with Huck Finn, but I was listening to a bunch of Rush albums all day long yesterday while studying, and it's stuck in my head.

Wow, I think you are the only one to be able to put two and two together, and figure that out.

That public enemy would be cool.

EDIT: thank you Anubis, that is a huge help.

Excuse me....plus you too Chris.....my reply above has nothing to do with your assesment.

The song you named had absolutely nothing to do with what I was talking about, so I'm not sure why you feel slighted. Wrathchild is about a guy hunting for his father, presumably so he can give him a proper thrashing. Where did you infer the connection between that and my scolding of some cretins jumping at the chance to name every racist band they secretly love listening to?

haha hey i liked this one song by final command

catchy

anyways, MTM says he should be all set with this

Why? Is your school a run by a bunch of homophobes?

__________________

Just pick some random super gutteral brutal death metal band and say that the song is about Huck Finn. Make up lyrics if you need to

__________________

Wow...You guys missed the most obvious one yet. But that may be because it isn't metal, but if the guy is using it for a school project he won't care right?

How about "Tom Sawyer" by Rush?

nah, just that its about homophobia and not racism

__________________

Hah I was actually thinking that.

Thanks guys, I have enough songs now, I really appreciate the help.

Anthrax- Keep it in the Family
Warrant- Unce Toms Cabin
Exodus- Like Father, Like Son

plus one that im getting from chris maybe, that makes 4, and there are 3 other people in my group at school And they are supposed to contribute as well. Now 80% of the songs will be Metal, that is if I dont have another good one somewhere
