I am looking for songs about drones (UAVs) that I can use on my
radio show in Brunswick, Maine. There has been much talk and protest
over building and testing drones at the Navy base here when the Navy
closes the base next year.

Thanks, Peter

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles are likely recent enough that songs have not yet been composed...but if anyone can come up with a song, the mudcat song challenge has been known to come up with some doozies...

here is the wikipedia blurb
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unmanned_aerial_vehicle

here is an article that has some info on "drones" and who uses them.
NASA, the U.S. Military, homeland security, and fire fighting are some uses...they are also known as also known as a remotely operated aircraft.

there is also an article about some manufactured in Israel and going to Turkey.

here are some words that could be used in the song:

spy, fly

drone, flown

aerial, burial

bird, absurd

(what rhymes with collateral damage, and innocent civilian?)
