Playlist: Fake News
/This is a playlist inspired by this year’s theme of “Fake News.” The first, from reggae greats Toots and the Maytals, begins with the words “I want you to believe every word I say/I want you to believe every thing I do.” From there, most of the songs mention fakes or lies. The last one is, of course, from Chernobyl. (At least one of the writers on this blog is absolutely nuts about the series.) It’s Вічная пам’ять, or “Eternal Memory,” a Ukrainian take on the traditional Orthodox hymn sung at funeral masses, a response of sorts to the series’ opening question, “What is the cost of lies?”
What other songs should be on here?
