For most of us, virtually anything we come across evokes Firefly in some way, but I thought I'd bring up a song that did it for me (besides the theme song, of course).

I came across a song by Capercaillie (Scottish rock band, and yes, I live near Boston - got a Scottish co-worker) that made me think of what it might be like to be forced out of the core onto one of the colonizing ships like in Bushwacked. Or, being evicted from a place on the outer rim by people like Patience or the jerk from Heart of Gold.

Four Stone Walls
We are born of ancient family
Living here all our days
And though we love our scenery
Wouldn't we just love somewhere to stay?
It's an order for eviction
And I can't believe I'm seeing what I see

Chorus:
If it kills I will surround myself
With four stone walls
A little pride upon the shelf
And four stone walls around me

And they came to meet you, one and all
With big words in the village hall
Getting older, looking back
Still the fact is nothing changed at all
Never charity we seek, just honest wages
Once a week and a place called home

(Chorus)

To whom it will concern within your office
Wouldn't you wish more than this, a caravan
Pushed aside, forgotten land
For me and my kind

(Chorus twice)

Also, the two lines starting with "Never charity we seek" made me think of our BDH crew.

Please post some others you have heard...

(As a side note, is there any easy way to search all threads for a keyword? I couldn't find this topic when just looking around, but I may have missed it...)
