Conservative Rock Songs

Over at Jon Swift there is a list of rock songs that are a big hit with the conservative crowd (and you thought they only listened to C&W and Lawrence Welk). Here's a sample, but I encourage you to read all 50 of them.


1. Bobby McFerrin
"Don't Worry, Be Happy"
Has there ever been a more succinct summation of the philosophy of conservatism? I could listen to this song again and again and again and again.

2. Bruce Springsteen
"Born in the USA"
How could the National Review have missed this one? Ronald Reagan loved this patriotic song and used it during his campaign, which must have made Bruce Springsteen very proud. I love to sing the words aloud: "Something, something, something, etc./BORN IN THE USA!"

3. Silhouettes
"Get a Job"
The conservative welfare plan in three little words.
