Lord of the Flies? (indie, American, songs)

cleverusername · 12-20-2007, 01:23 PM

Can anyone think of a song that represents Piggy from Lord of the Flies (preferably something indie - Bright Eyes, Arcade Fire, The Shins, Metric, Stars, Silversun Pickups, Klaxons, Cold War Kids, The Cinematics, etc. - but if not, that's okay too).

For anyone who doesn't know, Piggy is the smart kid who's fat, wears glasses, and has asthma. He tries to keep everything civilized on the island, and represents the adult voice, but a lot of people don't listen to him.

Please help! I can't think of anything!

I don't know of any songs that "represent" Piggy, but the song Fable by Gatsby's American Dream is about Lord of the Flies and has the part in it where they kill Piggy.
