There really was a 'Chicken Man in Philly' and they did, in fact, blow up him and his house, too.

Day 8: A song that mentions or is about an historic event

Yayyy! This one's for @Wonderer67, finally I can break out my post-black viking metal Did a search and saw that @curious_slut likes them as well though

Heilung is a unique band, to say the least. Hailing from Denmark, their lyrics are a blend of icelandic, old norse, proto germanic, old and new english... Their music is definitely a mood. To see them live is an experience one never forgets.

I wouldn't recommend listening to this just as you wake up - save it for tonight. It's not heavy, it's not grating; it's lovely, but it's also strange, weird, and requires a certain frame of mind...

Heilung - Krigsgaldr (Battlemage, or Shieldbreaker, or Warpoet, translation is a bit iffy)
The song's about the Viking invasions.

Guillemots - Trains To Brazil
July 2005 and an innocent man boarded a tube train in London. The capital was on alert after recent bombings. He did not run to the tube, he didn't jump the barriers, as was suggested by the police at the time. he did nothing wrong, but he was held down and shot multiple times. This is for you, Jean Charles de Menezes

Bee Gees-New York mining disaster 1941. Actually written about a terrible disaster in Wales, but they thought New York sounded more glamorous.

Day 7 - a song that was a #1 hit

You know, for all my busting of @PrettyLilPussy19 over Creed, I went through a not insignificant Matchbox 20 phase when they were big. I had no idea this hit #1 for a week until I went back and looked, and it's definitely not their best song by a mile, but it's good, and has Rob Thomas doing a lot of Rob Thomas things in this video.

Beautiful choice! The vibes were actually perfect for me shortly after waking up this morning

I would love to see Heilung when they tour the States but I'm a bit nervous about the crowd. There's a segment of American fascists who are really into Norse/Viking things Hopefully I'm just being paranoid.

Oh that's... really strange and it really sucks. Odd thing for them to appropriate I do hope you get a chance to see them sometime!

Battle of New Orleans

My dad used to song this to us on road trips and I still know every word. Don't judge my country ass but now you know what another use for an alligator is other that eating them.

Day 8: A song that mentions or is about a historic event

Following @Whiskeyjack's lead, I'm going with a song from Six.

So out of all the wives, Anne of Cleves seems to have gotten the best deal by far. Almost posted the Polish version from YouTube but you should definitely look for it if you're a fan of Six

Get Down from Six the Musical

Me too! I'll try to do some investigating for the future, surely someone's asked about this on Reddit before lol.

I’m torn by this song. It’s a heckuva ballad but you can miss me all day long with your exceptionalism mythology.

Anyway, I still sing it.
