This song is about a particularly legendary dog who I may have met, not sure, but in any case his name is Loukanikos and he has been photographed at every riot in Athens over the past two years, always right up in the faces of the police.

Story behind the song
On a recent trip to Athens, Greece I personally verified the legend: the dogs of Athens are on the side of the anarchists. This song is about a particularly legendary dog who I may have met, not sure, but in any case his name is Loukanikos and he has been photographed at every riot in Athens over the past two years, always right up in the faces of the police, impervious to tear gas, smoke grenades, and whatever else the cops throw at him.
Lyrics
Lots of folks are revolting They've had enough of this sh** The rich are getting richer They're saying “that's it” But with Louk it's different, that's clear As he emerges from the fog Let's hear it for Loukanikos The riot dog It's a fight between people But he is no pawn He knows exactly Which side he's on In the machine of capital He is no cog Let's hear it for Loukanikos The riot dog He barks at the cops And he has no fear He stands his ground When the batons are near He's got a fan page on Facebook But he's got no time for a blog He's Loukanikos, the raucous, the righteous The riot dog When a smoke bomb comes towards him He kicks it back at the fuzz No he acts a bit different Than a normal dog does No time to lie in the sun Or go swim in the bog Let's hear it for Loukanikos The riot dog
