Odd News Song Contest

[combatking0]

Hello everyone,
this is something I have seen done esleqwhere and I thought you'd all enjoy it.

Basically, somebody picks a recent news article and talks about it, and then everybody else writes in with what they think is the best song title and/or singer to describe it.

The winner is chosen by the person who chose the news story, who then gets to choose the story for the following week.

This week, the dire situation at McDonnalds has come to my attention:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/west_midlands/6994646.stm

Your song titles please.

Eat it by Weird Al was good, but Shockwave's "Bolt out of the blue" by Wild Blue Yonder has to take first prize this week.

Your turn now, Shockwave - pick a recent item of odd news and ask us for our song titles!

[Shockwave]

The Bali Belly song is the greatest.
