How you think Bush should fill his iPod

George Bush may have to upgrade his iPod if he wants to take up all your suggestions for future listening. Thanks to everyone who contributed. Our panel of experts deemed the best choice to be George, Don't Do That by Joyce Grenfell. That suggestion came from Sam, who wins a copy of Steve Bell's cartoon book The Apes of Wrath, which mercilessly lampoons the Bush presidency and the war on terror. Anyone else who would like to buy a copy of The Apes of Wrath (and it's a real work of art) can buy one for £12.99 from the Guardian Bookshop.

And finally, here's a suggested playlist for the president, compiled from our favourites among the songs you suggested:

The White Man's Got a God Complex - Gil Scott-Heron

Babylon's Burning - The Ruts

Nobody's Fault But Mine - Led Zeppelin

Jesus Doesn't Want Me For a Sunbeam - Nirvana

Puppet on a String - Sandie Shaw

Daydream Believer - The Monkees

Let Them Eat War - Bad Religion

Exhuming McCarthy - REM

Rhinestone Cowboy - Glen Campbell

Funky Gibbon - The Goodies

It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back - Public Enemy

Boom Bang a Bang - Lulu

Monkey Man - Toots & the Maytals

Never Be Rude To an Arab - Monty Python

Sympathy For the Devil - The Rolling Stones

Push the Button - Chemical Brothers

... and finally Oil Be There.
