With no implication as to his guilt or innocence, here are some songs we think Julian Assange might like to play while in his Ecuadorian autocaptivity. Let us know your suggestions (punning or otherwise) in the comments or on Twitter with the hashtag #assangesongs.

Queen – I Want to Break Free

R Kelly – Trapped in the Closet Chapter 1

Abba – Waterloo (note: this is about megalomaniacs and Swedishness – don’t read anything into the lyrics about the rape charges)



Johnny Cash – Folsom Prison Blues


The Clash – I Fought the Law

We would also suggest Abba – Gimme Gimme Gimme (Assange After Midnight) and Paul Simon – Me and Julian Down by the Jailyard.
