Anarchy in the UK: 10 British songs about riots

modrevolve

Standard Model
The Smiths: “Panic,” 1986
Came out around the time that: Morrissey heard a DJ follow up the announcement of the Chernobyl meltdown with Wham’s “I’m Your Man”
Representative lyric: “Burn down the disco, hang the blessed DJ / Because the music that they constantly play, it says nothing to me about my life.”
Moz’s club classic targeted stale and vapid chart-toppers, but London’s got a bigger problem now. Hopefully it won’t spread to “Carlisle, Dublin, Dundee, and Humberside.” (It won’t. Ever seen Humberside?)
