| Song | Artist/Band | Comments | Year | Genre |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| "(Don't Fear) The Reaper" | Blue Öyster Cult | The band's guitarist, Donald "Buck Dharma" Roser, wrote the song. He debunked the idea that it promoted suicide, and said it was about the inevitability of death; some people interpret the lyrics as suggesting a murder-suicide because of the mention of Romeo and Juliet.[1] | 1976 | Rock |
| "Ocean Breathes Salty" | Modest Mouse | Atheistic propaganda that has the nerve to belittle those who believe in the afterlife. The singer seems to see himself as better than these people. | 2004 | Rock/indie |
| "This Charming Man" | The Smiths | About a man on the road who picks up a hitchhiker. Implies a homosexual attraction between the two. | 1983 | Rock/indie |
| "Killing in the Name" | Rage Against the Machine | Unsubstantiated accusations of racism by law enforcement agencies, going as far as to accuse them of supporting the Ku Klux Klan. "Some of those that work forces, are the same that burn crosses". | 1992 | Rock |
| "Bodies" | Drowning Pool | "Let the bodies hit the floor"; bad coincidental release timeline in conjunction with 9/11. It was also used to break the will of soldiers during the Iraq War, seems to promote violence and bloodshed. | 2001 | rock/heavy metal |
| "Beds are Burning" | Midnight Oil | Calls for an extremely drastic compromise in response to the Aboriginal conflicts; handing back Australia. | 1987 | rock |
| "Poker Face" | Lady Gaga | Ridiculously over-rated and over valued song that fantasizes about the life of bi-sexual women dating men, but desiring to date other women. | 2008 | pop/top 40 |
| "I Kissed A Girl" | Katy Perry | A song about a lesbian kiss which has been heavily criticized by conservatives in the media. | 2008 | pop |
| "Imagine" | John Lennon | A celebratory song of atheism, godlessness, and a world that "will live as one" once God is defeated. | 1971 | rock |
| "Lying is The Most Fun A Girl Can Have Without Taking Her Clothes Off" | Panic! At the Disco | Liberalism at its finest: promoting sexual immorality in young adults. | 2010 | Pop |
| "This Land Is Your Land" | Woody Guthrie (also recorded by various liberal/socialist artists) | Song attacking the institution of private property, promoting welfare and criticising the poverty that exists under the capitalist system. | 1940 | Folk |
| "Back in the USSR" | The Beatles | A parody of Beach Boy songs, as well as "Back in the U.S.A." by Chuck Berry.[2] | 1968 | Pop |
| "Yes We Can" | will.i.am | A pro-Obama propaganda song. | 2008 | Hip hop |
| "Born This Way" | Lady Gaga | A song promoting the fallacy that homosexuality is a legitimate lifestyle into which people are born. | 2011 | Pop |
| "OK2BGAY" | Tomboy | Another homosexuality promoting song. | N/A | Pop |
| "Bad Religion" | Frank Ocean | A song about homosexual emotional dependency. | 2012 | R&B |
| "War" | Edwin Starr | A song promoting pacifism and denouncing all wars, including just wars. | 1970 | Funk |
| "If I Had A Rocket Launcher" | Bruce Cockburn | A song which denounces regulated borders and the military in general | 1984 | Pop Rock |
| "The Internationale" | Eugène Pottier/Pierre De Geyter | A song promoting the abolition of private property and all individual liberty. | 1888 | Random noise strung together. |
| "Same Love" | Macklemore | A song supporting Same Sex "Marriage" as well as bashing Republicans and Christians. Song also features openly lesbian artist singing backup as well as a gay couple on the song artwork. | 2013 | Pop/ Hip hop |
| "Party Rock Anthem" | LMFAO | An ode to hedonism that encourages young people to abandon social responsibility: "Party rock is in the house tonight; everybody just have a good time." The song mocks Christianity (“I got that devilish flow -- no halo”) and promotes gambling (“Every day I’m shuffling”).
Also, the band's name is an obscene acronym. |
2011 | Dance-pop |
| "Mosh" | Eminem | A song persuading people to not vote for Bush in the 2004 election. | 2004 | Rap |
| "Young Wild & Free" | Snoop Dogg and Wiz Khalifa | Basic promotion of drug usage, and encouraging liberal behavior, that smoking, getting drunk and high is what life is all about. | 2011 | Rap |
| Starships | Nicki Manji | A song going to the beach and wasting money on drugs, smoking and alcohol. Basically just getting high and partying. | 2012 | Pop Dance |
| Roll Me Up And Smoke Me When I Die | Willie Nelson | A song just about smoking and getting high | 2012 | Country |
In addition, these are songs a conservative has to be careful to avoid, as they pretend to have their values at heart, but are deceitfully liberal.
| Song | Artist/Band | Comments | Year | Genre |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| "Slack Mother******" | Superchunk | The song seems to be criticizing a slacker who mooches off everyone around him. However, the band is notoriously liberal, as they openly support the homosexual agenda. The song is also very explicit and morally offensive, and the title openly reflects this. | 1990 | Alternative/indie rock |
| "The Guns of Brixton" | The Clash | Some have interpreted it as being against gun control, but the lyrics are blatantly anti-police and has the nerve to suggest that the police are rascist. The Clash were also anti-Thatcher, liberal, and socialist. | 1979 | Punk rock/reggae |
| "Born in The USA" | Bruce Springsteen | This is an example of subliminal propaganda. The song seems patriotic, but is in fact anti-American, tricking anybody unfortunate enough to hear the song. Even Ronald Reagan was notoriously tricked by Springsteen into playing the song. | 1984 | Rock |
