Danzig Set List for President-Elect Donald Trump's Inauguration

Late-breaking news: Rumored to perform at President Trump's inauguration on January 20 are the rockers Danzig.

It's within the realm of possibility for Danzig to play the Trump inauguration, considering his opposition to Trump's predecessor:

"Maybe one day I'll do a -real- horror album, about the Obama Administration." - Glenn Danzig

Without further ado, here's the tentative set list:

Danzig Set List for President-Elect Donald Trump's Inauguration

-Justifications for each song selection are demarcated with a dash.-

1. Let The Day Begin - An obvious beginning track, both literally for the concert and metaphorically for America.

2. In My Grip - A celebration of Trump -and- a Republican congressional majority.

3. Killer Wolf - A celebration of Trump's social prowess, as well as the possible ESA de-listing of the gray wolf.

4. Who Killed Hillary? - In the Electoral College, that is. A parody of "Who Killed Marilyn?" to mock Hillary Rodham-Clinton.

5. Naked Witch - Another anti-Hillary Rodham-Clinton song.

6. Cantspeak (sic; that is the official, stylized spelling of the track) - A mockery of anti-Trump protesters.

7. Night of the Living Dead - Mocks mental fog of shocked HRC supporters. Also, one of the few Misfits-era songs that can be performed on-air without lyrical censorship.

8. Spook City, U.S.A. - Refers to C.I.A. HQ in Quantico, VA. Another Misfits-era songs that can be performed on-air without lyrical censorship.

9. 7th House - Refers to the White House, which is at least the seventh residence for Trump. Also, reminds the audience that Danzig did an industrial album!

10. Belly of the Beast - A coming-to-grips with the responsibilities of being in the center ("the Belly") of domestic and global politics ("the Beast").

11. Unspeakable - A jab at the constant criticism, rumor-mongering, and yellow journalism of the "oppositional media."

12. Long Way Back from Hell - Describes the regulatory-reversal work to be done during the Trump presidency.

13. Mother - The hit that got Danzig "on the map" by forcing MTV to play some Danzig! Reminiscent of Trump's iconoclastic popularity.
