Do you dig the Blues? 'Serves you right to suffer' - John Lee Hooker would be my nomination for a Blues song

Don’t know that one, but I’ll keep an ear out. Thanks for the recommendation. Conservative theme?

26. "Capitalism," by Oingo Boingo.

"There's nothing wrong with Capitalism / There's nothing wrong with free enterprise. . . . You're just a middle class, socialist brat / From a suburban family and you never really had to work."

Never heard of this before, but I'll have to listen to it.

[Wormwood]

I love the thought of the King getting a letter from the colonies that just said, "F**k you, we won't do what you tell us".

Any conservative that hasn't felt a similar sentiment toward the Federal Government deserves what he gets.

Charlie Daniels - Simple Man, In America

End of story.

The inability to divorce the artist from the art is a failing of many conservatives.

Not really. I suffered through many years of leftist rants by rock stars who I thought were geniuses in my youth. Age has taught me that they weren't as great as Rolling Stone insisted they were.

I'm fine with divorcing art from the artist. I have no trouble listening to either Wagner or Tchaikovsky, even though both of them were tools for different reasons. I guess the difference is that I don't consider pop stars "artists" until their work has been around 50 years and people still seek it out.

It's about a woman doin' a man wrong and the man makin' her suffer cause he ain't gunna please her anymore.

Silent Scream by Riot. It's about abortion.

[Mr. Blonde]

One time my friends listened to that (and other rage songs) for about 2 hours while drinking liquor. I never heard that particular line aimed at the government that night, but a few bouncers heard...it turned out my friends would, in fact, do what the bouncer told them.

[Echo Talon]

I just don't see ANY movie at the theater, I never went and saw "The Passion" at the theater or the new "9/11" movie or Narnia... If the movie is really good I will buy the DVD when
it comes out. I don't know how long its been since i have to the theater, its been YEARS!

oh now I remember! the last movie i saw at the theatre was "save the last dance" because I was on a date and the dumb girl wanted to see it.. we left 1/4 way into the movie because it sucked! LOL

America, F**K YEAH!

[do the dhue]

Great Suggestion. I love it, but I think that is country.

[Antoninus]

I think Jesus is Just Alright by the Doobie Brothers should have made the list.

Originally by the Byrds who were anything but conservative. I think the Doobies version of the song was not sarcastic, though.

[do the dhue]

I never took their version as sarcastic. Never heard the Byrd version. I probably don't want to too.

[do the dhue]

Ever seen Team America?

How about their theme song. I like that!

[do the dhue]

That's my vote!

[okiecon]

Everyone should take look at number 3, the most misinterpreted song ever. This is a good download list!

[zbigreddogz]

Umm, you are aware that 'House of The Rising Sun' was an old folk song about a brothell, don't you?

I don't see how it was really an anti-drug song. Anti-partying-your-life-away song perhaps, but not exactly an anti-drug song.

[Wormwood]

LOL!

That particular refrain is a long-standing joke between my wife and I.

Occasional requests to turn down the thermostat or fetch me a drink are greeted with "F*** you, I won't do what you tell me."

I'm a very lucky man.
