 +
|Written by Frank Loesser; made famous by Kay Kyser and His Orchestra
 +
|{{invi|Loe}}
 +
|A patriotic song written and published as sheet music in 1942; Kay Kyser's recording came out in 1943. This rousing tune is about a chaplain (called a "sky pilot" in the song) who is with some men on a warship in the heat of a battle. One of the soldiers asks the chaplain to pray for the men shooting at the enemy aircraft. In response, the chaplain puts down his Bible, mans one of the gun turrets on the ship, begins firing at the planes himself, and tells the soldiers, "Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition, and we'll all stay free!" Beyond the obvious pro-Christian and pro-American messages, it also tells us that sometimes the Lord calls on us to put down the Bible and pick up our guns to defend the American way.  #1 hit on the ''Billboard'' charts.

|[[Jason Aldean]]
 +
|{{invi|Ald}}
 +
|Aldean's criticism of left-wing violence, criminality and anti-American behavior; while the lyrics are somewhat NSFW and its accompanying video contains news footage of violent scenes (as well as a burning of the American flag by leftist "protestors") contrasted against clips showing life in small-town America and its traditional values (including people willing to help out their neighbors in need), they get the point of the song across as Aldean, who stands in front of a courthouse during the video, voices the frustration many Americans are feeling over the lawlessness of the Joe Biden regime.
 +
 
 +
In response to the success and popularity of the song, liberal snowflakes threw emotional hissy fits online and and falsely claimed, without proof, that the song was "pro-lynching" and emotionally claimed it as "violent" and "hateful" (even though the actual violence and hate was coming from the leftist rioters depicted in the news clips featured in the video), leading to country music video channel CMT pulling the video from airplay to appease the snowflakes;<ref>[https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/07/country-music-television-pulls-jason-aldeans-try-that/ Country Music Television Pulls Jason Aldean’s ‘Try That In A Small Town’ Music Video Featuring BLM-Antifa Riot Footage Amid Leftist Outrage] at the Gateway Pundit</ref>  Aldean himself responded to the controversy over the video in a Twitter post,<ref>[https://twitter.com/Jason_Aldean/status/1681382697875144717 Jason Aldean: "In the past 24 hours I have been accused of releasing a pro-lynching song (a song that has been out since May) and was subject to the comparison that I (direct quote) was not too pleased with the nationwide BLM protests"] at Twitter</ref> pointing out that the negative reaction from liberals that led to the video being pulled by CMT was "...not only meritless, but dangerous", and in response to the CMT controversy, Aldean received a great deal of support from fans and fellow country music artists, while calls were made to boycott CMT over Aldean's video being pulled.
 +
 
 +
Additionally, when music news magazine ''Rolling Stone'' echoed the rest of the liberal media in virtue-signaling and making false accusations against both Aldean and the song, the magazine got roasted for its comments on social media, with many respondents pointing out the magazine's hypocrisy in attacking Aldean and his song while ignoring violent and racist rap songs that glorify killing police officers, killing whites, drug dealing, abusing women and other crimes;<ref>[https://www.westernjournal.com/rolling-stones-slam-jason-aldean-goes-sideways-flashback-support-ice-ts-cop-killer/ Rolling Stone's Slam of Jason Aldean Goes Sideways After Flashback to Its Support of Ice-T's 'Cop Killer'] at the Western Journal</ref> rather than back down and admit its error in the face of massive pushback against it for its attack on Aldean, however, ''Rolling Stone'' doubled down on its stupidity and hypocrisy by attacking the conservative critics, calling them "trolls" (while ironically ignoring that liberals themselves are often trolls online) and accusing them of resorting to "[[whataboutism]]" by bringing up rap music, which only earned the magazine even more scorn from critics.

|A song that might very well be about the hope Christianity offers the world. The person the singer talks with can be construed as a cynical atheist who has a sad outlook on life due to his lack of belief in a higher power. The singer on the other hand still has hope, as she knows there is a God. In the final lines she sings about flying over horses. This might interpreted to mean that like all of mankind she too experienced physical death, but due to her belief in [[Jesus]] found her way into Heaven.

The song also came out in 1966, a time when many counterculture people were holding military personnel, secret agents, police officers, and firemen in contempt, and singing negative songs about them. However, because this song was the exact opposite of that, it gets extra points! This song was also used as the theme for the 1960–68 British action/adventure/mystery TV series "Danger Man", which was broadcast in the United States as "Secret Agent".

|This song is a patriotic ode to the singer's country (in this case Puerto Rico, but the lyrics are ambiguous enough for any country). Also, the first line contains a satirical comment (cuidado, ahi vene los abnormales!/be careful, here comes the deplorables!), showing how the singer's people are called 'abnormales' and so qualifies as Conservative, as conservatives have been called deplorables by the Clintons

Included among the top five in a poll of the greatest songs in the 20th century, according to the Recording Industry Association of America and the [[NEA]], are the following:
  
*''Over the Rainbow'' (Judy Garland)

#"Over the Rainbow" (Judy Garland)

*''American Pie'' (Don McLean)

+
Also questionable:
  
 +
#"All My Friends (Snakehips)" - the song's message is how terrible clubs actually are, instead of the hype that's falsely given to them. However, the song is explicit. Sample lyric: "All my friends are wasted, and I hate this club and I drink too much; another Friday night I've wasted.."
 +
#"Been to Hell" (Hollywood Undead)-Despite the large amount of swearing, it talks about the destructive nature of Hollywood, including how Hollywood and the quest for fame can cause someone to lose their faith. It also criticizes Hollywood values.
 +
#"Black Hole Sun" (Soundgarden) - Can be interpreted as a lamentation of evil: "Times are gone for honest men, and sometimes far too long for snakes" "Heaven, send hell away; / No one sings like you anymore"
 +
#"Born in the U.S.A." (Bruce Springsteen) - the title and refrain appear to be pro-America, but some of the lyrics are not, and also contain a racial slur toward Asians.
 +
#"Glory Days" (Bruce Springsteen) - the song talks about the good old days of the American Dream
 +
#"Grow a Pear" (Kesha) -Song's message is manning up, but the singer Kesha is a pro-LGBT [[homosexual agenda]] activist.
 +
#"Hammer to Fall" (Queen) - talks about being hopeful for the Soviet Union falling
 +
#"My Sweet Lord" (George Harrison) - Love for religion and having a relationship with God even uses hallelujah, though many Hindu undertones; Harrison also unconsciously plagiarized two other songs, the Chiffons' 1963 doo-wop song [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9NkEWGuT-u8 "He's So Fine"] and the Edwin Hawkins Singers' 1967 [[gospel music|gospel]] song [https://youtu.be/KJohGa66FJM "Oh Happy Day"], in writing his song.
 +
#"Rocky Raccoon" (The Beatles) - has multiple references to Gideon's Bible
 +
#[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5aMMRes2u4 "Still the One"] by Orleans - a very good song about marital fidelity. However, one of the singers, John Hall, later became a Democratic Congressman from New York and sued Republican presidential candidate [[John McCain]] over the use of the song
 +
#"Stranger in Moscow ." (Michael Jackson) - the song criticizes communism

"Try That in a Small Town" Jason Aldean Ald Aldean's criticism of left-wing violence, criminality and anti-American behavior; while the lyrics are somewhat NSFW and its accompanying video contains news footage of violent scenes (as well as a burning of the American flag by leftist "protestors") contrasted against clips showing life in small-town America and its traditional values (including people willing to help out their neighbors in need), they get the point of the song across as Aldean, who stands in front of a courthouse during the video, voices the frustration many Americans are feeling over the lawlessness of the Joe Biden regime.

In response to the success and popularity of the song, liberal snowflakes threw emotional hissy fits online and and falsely claimed, without proof, that the song was "pro-lynching" and emotionally claimed it as "violent" and "hateful" (even though the actual violence and hate was coming from the leftist rioters depicted in the news clips featured in the video), leading to country music video channel CMT pulling the video from airplay to appease the snowflakes;[9] Aldean himself responded to the controversy over the video in a Twitter post,[10] pointing out that the negative reaction from liberals that led to the video being pulled by CMT was "...not only meritless, but dangerous", and in response to the CMT controversy, Aldean received a great deal of support from fans and fellow country music artists, while calls were made to boycott CMT over Aldean's video being pulled.

Additionally, when music news magazine Rolling Stone echoed the rest of the liberal media in virtue-signaling and making false accusations against both Aldean and the song, the magazine got roasted for its comments on social media, with many respondents pointing out the magazine's hypocrisy in attacking Aldean and his song while ignoring violent and racist rap songs that glorify killing police officers, killing whites, drug dealing, abusing women and other crimes;[11] rather than back down and admit its error in the face of massive pushback against it for its attack on Aldean, however, Rolling Stone doubled down on its stupidity and hypocrisy by attacking the conservative critics, calling them "trolls" (while ironically ignoring that liberals themselves are often trolls online) and accusing them of resorting to "whataboutism" by bringing up rap music, which only earned the magazine even more scorn from critics.

Title Artist Comments- Subgenre
"Mi Gente" Hector Lavoe This song is a patriotic ode to the singer's country (in this case Puerto Rico, but the lyrics are ambiguous enough for any country). Also, the first line contains a satirical comment (cuidado, ahi vene los abnormales!/be careful, here comes the deplorables!), showing how the singer's people are called 'abnormales' and so qualifies as Conservative, as conservatives have been called deplorables by the Clintons 1970s
"Pedro Navaja" Ruben Blades Emphasizes the importance of police force. Also, unlike liberals, takes an optimistic and Christ-centered look at life by seeing hardships as 'sopresas' (surprises). Also, the chorus sings (in English)

"I like to live in America".

1970s
"El Dia de Mi Suerte" Hector Lavoe The singer recounts his hardships in life, but announces his intention to work hard and continue trusting in God for a better life. 1970s
"Abuelita" Willie Colon and Hector Lavoe A homage to the sayings ('refranos') of Latin grandparents, that communicated conservative values. Also underlines the importance of listening to the older family members, and your parents. 1970s
"El Todopoderso" Hector Lavoe A Spanish hymn, to the Latin Jazz tune, praises the Son, Jesus Christ, the Almighty ("Todopoderso"), and his great and powerful victory on the Cross. Tells how Christ is the only one who can save us from a self-centered, liberal, view, and how our problems in life can only be solved by Him. Praises God for his perfection, conservatism, and honesty, in contrast to people's self-centeredness. 1970s

Debatable Whether Conservative

Included among the top five in a poll of the greatest songs in the 20th century, according to the Recording Industry Association of America and the NEA, are the following:

  1. "Over the Rainbow" (Judy Garland)
  2. "White Christmas" (Bing Crosby)
  3. "Respect" (Aretha Franklin)

Also questionable:

  1. "All My Friends (Snakehips)" - the song's message is how terrible clubs actually are, instead of the hype that's falsely given to them. However, the song is explicit. Sample lyric: "All my friends are wasted, and I hate this club and I drink too much; another Friday night I've wasted.."
  2. "Been to Hell" (Hollywood Undead)-Despite the large amount of swearing, it talks about the destructive nature of Hollywood, including how Hollywood and the quest for fame can cause someone to lose their faith. It also criticizes Hollywood values.
  3. "Black Hole Sun" (Soundgarden) - Can be interpreted as a lamentation of evil: "Times are gone for honest men, and sometimes far too long for snakes" "Heaven, send hell away; / No one sings like you anymore"
  4. "Born in the U.S.A." (Bruce Springsteen) - the title and refrain appear to be pro-America, but some of the lyrics are not, and also contain a racial slur toward Asians.
  5. "Glory Days" (Bruce Springsteen) - the song talks about the good old days of the American Dream
  6. "Grow a Pear" (Kesha) -Song's message is manning up, but the singer Kesha is a pro-LGBT homosexual agenda activist.
  7. "Hammer to Fall" (Queen) - talks about being hopeful for the Soviet Union falling
  8. "My Sweet Lord" (George Harrison) - Love for religion and having a relationship with God even uses hallelujah, though many Hindu undertones; Harrison also unconsciously plagiarized two other songs, the Chiffons' 1963 doo-wop song "He's So Fine" and the Edwin Hawkins Singers' 1967 gospel song "Oh Happy Day", in writing his song.
  9. "Rocky Raccoon" (The Beatles) - has multiple references to Gideon's Bible
  10. "Still the One" by Orleans - a very good song about marital fidelity. However, one of the singers, John Hall, later became a Democratic Congressman from New York and sued Republican presidential candidate John McCain over the use of the song
  11. "Stranger in Moscow ." (Michael Jackson) - the song criticizes communism
