[Robespierre2.0]

Wow... you are absolutely right with that one. That video is nauseating.

[w0lf]

Blah. It sickens me to even think of eating that food.

[Pirate Utopian]

lolz. That song was quite popular amongst kids of about 10/11/12 in Holland at one time. I always hated that song.

[Coggeh]

Kentucky fried chicken nd a pizza hut ... di do di do di ... MC DONALDS MCDONALS ... Kentucky fried chicken nd a pizza hut.. di do di do .. it is quite catchy ...

Trade unions .. Trade unions .. organic revolution and ... something that rhythms with .. hut .. :)

Id say its loaded with subliminal messages Lol ..

You beat me to it. This song is abject and reprehensible on every level.

[Sergei Simonov]

The song beginning at 3:47.

Taken from the movie Bob Roberts.

[Lynx]

What about Takogo Kak Putin?
I enjoy the song (musically) but don't understand the lyrics.

[Angry Young Man]

Pop music. It definitely does seem to have an anaesthetic effect. Maybe it's the airplay repetition, maybe it's the very similarity of it all, maybe it's the lack of difference. I don't know

They sound english but they've never been played here...

[Xiao Banfa]

I think that's a great song. It should be the new national anthem of the cosmopolitanised neo-liberal homogenous states of europe.

[Purple]

Pretty Woman is the perfect example of subliminal capitalist programming of the larger masses. The objectification of women as mere objects of lust and sex by the synthesized alpha-male culture caused by the capitalist sexism and household control by capitalist governments.

[Dr Mindbender]

...other than my first choice I'd have to say pretty much any commercial house track. The charts of 2003/4 brings back nauseating memories of working as a glass collector in a big inner city pretentious nightclub.....:eek:

hmmm. Debatable. While 25 pence may be an asshat, his whole genre is a social symptom not a social cause.

[jaffe]

that song that goes lalalala lalala and something with my nikes on:p

[RedAnarchist]

I think any song that has ever been associated with a major company or with an artist who is quite obviously pro-capitalistic.

While I think of it the worst has to be an Orangeman with a great big drum!

[arthurseaton]

If we're looking for the band which tried to push libertarian-capitalist philosphy the most, the winner must surely be - Rush - the horrific 70s AOR rockers, who tried to shoe-horn Ayn Rand concepts into as many songs as they could. I do like a lot of music composed at least in part by right-wingers which troubles me slightly (ie. The Ramones), so its always especially satisfying and comforting to come accross a band like Rush, whose dreadful, tedious musical output is every bit as nauseating as their odious politics.

[Gitfiddle Jim]

Anything "manufactured" by Stock, Aitken and Waterman. Aaarghh! :cursing:

probably something by Rush

Please correct me if I am wrong but I haven't really come across anything specifically right wing in the sense of free market glorification or the like in their songs. I've noticed a sense of "anti-authority" but not much else. Guess I haven't heard enough songs.

I don't think their songs are too bad myself. When listening to music I usually don't focus on the lyrics personally, the songs take their meanings after what I think of when listening to it.

What I think of as reactionary music is the opposite of progressive music, boring music that doesn't try to communicate any meaningful message neither though the instrumentation nor the lyrics. So basically I am not too fond of pop music.

[Comrade Nadezhda]

i hate music that talks about money and what the singer would do if he had it

quite honestly the only people who have the time to sing about it are bourgeois and don't need to sell their labour, i.e. they already have plenty

[RHIZOMES]

Capitalism by Oingo Boingo takes the cake.:D

Ruined an otherwise great band for me.

[A_Ciarra]

Interesting to learn that Rush was pushing Ayn Rand and free market capitalism! Never knew that till now. Of course I didn't have any real reason to pay attention back in my teens (when they where at their peak)... :lol:

Their lyrics did always seem political somehow, like in Trees, and Closer the the Heart, but I never could make sense of what the f*ck they where talking about.

[Sufferboy]

Yea, i would say any pop right now shown on MTV. or elsewhere. Here in sweden we have schlager right now. Fucking decadent and really making the masses care about some washeddown pancy.

Otherwise that fstfood song was horrible. :)

[arthurseaton]

Dyssistis and A Ciarra

Oh its quite true I fear. "Trees" is a diatribe against the evils of "levelling equality", see here

the maples formed a union
And demanded equal rights.
"The oaks are just too greedy;
We will make them give us light."
Now there's no more oak oppression,
For they passed a noble law,
And the trees are all kept equal
By hatchet, axe, and saw.

Do you see what they've done there? Do you see the fiendishly clever irony at work?? Jeezzzus....

The group were fully convinced "Objectivists", the weird far-right libertarian cult which worships Ayn Rand. Even the symbol on their records the "starman" apparently represents the heroic individual holding off the collectivist horde etc. etc.

Like I say, shit music, shit group, shit politics, shit people.

[rsinger09]

material girl...sexist and capitalist

[RedArmyFaction]

The KFC song is actually quite catchy. Yet, at the same, quite annoying.

[Pirate Utopian]

Rush may have had shit politics, but they are not bad musicians.

[Trenches Full of Poets]

Maybe it's the very similarity of it all, maybe it's the lack of difference. I don't know

Maybe it's the redundancy...

[Trenches Full of Poets]

Ruined an otherwise great band for me.

I'm actually quite sure that it's a sarcastic song.

[non-vio-resist]

this would also win the award for most statist/orwellian song ever. it's stinks of capitalist proganda too, though.



Artist: Lee Greenwood
Title: Proud To Be An American
If tomorrow all the things were gone,
I’d worked for all my life.
And I had to start again,
with just my children and my wife.
I’d thank my lucky stars,
to be livin here today.
‘ Cause the flag still stands for freedom,
and they can’t take that away.
And I’m proud to be an American,
where at least I know I’m free.
And I wont forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.
And I gladly stand up,
next to you and defend her still today.
‘ Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.
From the lakes of Minnesota,
to the hills of Tennessee.
Across the plains of Texas,
From sea to shining sea.
From Detroit down to Houston,
and New York to L.A.
Well there's pride in every American heart,
and its time we stand and say.
That I’m proud to be an American,
where at least I know I’m free.
And I wont forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.
And I gladly stand up,
next to you and defend her still today.
‘ Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.
And I’m proud to be and American,
where at least I know I’m free.
And I wont forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.
And I gladly stand up,
next to you and defend her still today.
‘ Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.

[communard resolution]

Dunno about 'most capitalist', but here's a contender for the cheesiest anti-communist/pro-West one. Enjoy!

ELTON JOHN - Nikita

Hey Nikita is it cold
In your little corner of the world
You could roll around the globe
And never find a warmer soul to know

Oh I saw you by the wall
Ten of your tin soldiers in a row
With eyes that looked like ice on fire
The human heart a captive in the snow

Oh Nikita You will never know anything about my home
I'll never know how good it feels to hold you
Nikita I need you so
Oh Nikita is the other side of any given line in time
Counting ten tin soldiers in a row
Oh no, Nikita you'll never know

Do you ever dream of me
Do you ever see the letters that I write
When you look up through the wire
Nikita do you count the stars at night

And if there comes a time
Guns and gates no longer hold you in
And if you're free to make a choice
Just look towards the west and find a friend

^^what a horrible song. elton john is a ****.

anything like this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSQztZbSC9M) is a capitalist song.
