Just for fun I would like to see what songs everyone feels has a coservative flavor.

The one with the pipes is "It's a long way to the top". It's about 'paying your dues', which is what most musicians have to do. AC/DC started out as a bar band. They don't write many political songs.
Very high energy, multi-rhythmic, 80'ish sound in the keyboards but with more of an edge. They have a variety of instruments including a horn section and often an xylophone. Elfman has very dynamic voice and a wide range. I'd suggest one of their best of's. The only one I don't have came out just last year, I hear good things about it.
{Refrain}
I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again
The change, it had to come
We knew it all along
We were liberated from the fold, that's all
And the world looks just the same
And history ain't changed
'Cause the banners, they are flown in the next war
I'll move myself and my family aside
If we happen to be left half alive
I'll get all my papers and smile at the sky
Though I know that the hypnotized never lie
There's nothing in the streets
Looks any different to me
And the slogans are replaced, by-the-bye
And the party on the left
Is now the party on the right
And the beards have all grown longer overnight
Meet the new boss
Same as the old boss

Strikes me as a critique of the left.
wow. " Ye men of valor gather round the banner of the right"
you got me there. actually, i'm in mormon country, and i grew up with the battle hymn
sung by the mormon tabernacle choir. didn't relate to it being union. (blush)
i hadn't heard of Bonnie Blue Flag. guess the mason dixon doesn't streach this far west.
great lyrics. thanks.
Actually, wouldn't 'Eminence Front' be a good candidate?
Don't know that one offhand.
