Barricade, from the French barrique (barrel), is any object or structure that creates a barrier or obstacle to control, block passage or force the flow of traffic in the desired direction. Adopted as a military term, a barricade denotes any improvised field fortification, such as on city streets during urban warfare.
Barricades also include temporary traffic barricades designed with the goal of dissuading passage into a protected or hazardous area or large slabs of cement whose goal is to actively prevent forcible passage by a vehicle. Stripes on barricades and panel devices slope downward in the direction traffic must travel.
There are also pedestrian barricades - sometimes called bike rack barricades for their resemblance to a now obsolete form of bicycle stand, or police barriers. They originated in France approximately 50 years ago and are now produced around the world. They were first produced in the U.S. 40 years ago by Friedrichs Mfg for New Orleans's Mardi Gras parades.
"Barricade" is the lead single from the self-titled fourth studio album by New York post-punk revival band Interpol. The song debuted at number 39 on the Billboard Alternative Songs chart, their fourth appearance on that chart.

Done may refer to:
"Done" (stylized as "DONE.") is a song recorded by American country music group The Band Perry. It was released in March 2013 as the second single from their second album, Pioneer. Neil and Reid Perry co-wrote the song with John Davidson and Jacob Bryant. As of August 28, 2013, the first week in which the song was no longer ranked among the top 30 selling country digital singles, the single has sold 782,000 in the United States.
The song has its female narrator addressing a former lover, stating that she is "done" with him.
The song has achieved critical acclaim, with music critics labeling it as "very catchy" and one of the stand-out tracks on Pioneer. Billy Dukes of Taste of Country gave the song four and a half stars out of five, writing that it "is best enjoyed at an extremely loud volume. It’s the type of song that sells concert tickets, because you know it’s going to be quite a moment when the group gets to thrashing around on stage during the three-and-a-half minute track." Matt Bjorke of Roughstock gave the song four stars out of five, saying that "the melody puts the Up in Uptempo while Kimberly Perry delivers a vocal that's all attitude and sass."
Done is the debut album by 18th Dye, originally released in 1994.
