Singapore goes to the polls today, and we've compiled a playlist to fire you up as the results of the General Elections 2015 stream in later tonight. Whichever party you choose – we prefer the kind that involves lots of booze – you'll find a tune you can identify with. Probably.

We had only one rule: no obvious choices. So out goes the likes of Dylan, Rage Against the Machine, Neil Young and Billy Bragg. No 'Electioneering', no 'Won't Get Fooled Again', no 'A Change is Gonna Come'. Crank your volume up and let's begin.

Stone Roses – I Wanna Be Adored

Listen to all them campaigners promising us the moon… 

Mansun – I Can Only Disappoint U

Alas.

Sonic Youth – Youth Against Facism

That party you can't stand is on the news. Your blood pressure rises.

Notorious BIG – Gimme the Loot

Oh hey, it's Han Hui Hui aka HHH aka Triple H.

Huang Yi-fei – One Million Dollars

At this point you start to think, 'Man, what would I do with all that money?'

 

The Flaming Lips – Waitin' for a Superman

But even if this GE doesn't go the way you wanted it to.

ABBA – The Winner Takes It All

Even if it really doesn't go the way you wanted it to.

The Velvet Underground – All Tomorrow's Parties

Who knows what parties tomorrow will bring?
