Tea Party Music

[Lemur]

As you may know from my Corporate Anthem thread, I am a big fan of bad music. And I just discovered the Tea Party anthem genre. And I'm in love.

Let's skip the foreplay and go straight to penetration:





(The new board software won't allow more than two embedded movies, so from here on you have to follow links to feel the goodness:

best TEA PARTY RALLY song ever

The Property Tax Song

AMERICA IS ME - Anthem for "We the People" by Mack Hayes - Tea Party salute (this one may be my favorite)

Yankee Doodle ~ Tea Party Mix! Pumped Up

Obamanation - obamacare healthcare kill the elderly rationing national socialism nazi

If I didn't have to visit a client this morning, I would need to spend the rest of the day savoring all of this fantastic musical badness ...

See, this highlights the entire problem with the Tea Party movement, this shows that they are just angry, populist (ex)Republicans. True libertarians would never accept this music, it's too obvious that the musicians are not on any good drugs.

[Gregoshi]

The problem with these songs/videos is they preach to the choir. I can't see anyone being swayed by such goofy lyrics and even sappier images who doesn't wear an American Flag Snuggie. Once upon a time these songs might have rung true, but in today's world where everything is so carefully staged to project the right symbolism, they feel shallow.

Is that second one Miley Cyrus?

In any event, during the hippie movemnt, for every CSNY, there were a dozen mediocre bands...

[Louis VI the Fat]

All that's missing is a defiant/teary-eyed 'We Shall Overcome'.

Well those are the youtube musicians. Also it seems like most musicians are liberal, except for country singers. They'd be better off with this as the tea-party anthem in my opinion:

I was expecting the Pixies - Where is my mind?

There is no "problem" with these songs; they are glorious examples of bad music, a genre which I happen to love. They're splendid in their awfulness. Stop looking at them as political vessels and see what they really are: cultural artifacts of shame.

Think about all of the amazingly bad music lost in time due to the lack of YouTube in 1968. It's enough to make a lemur cry.

Yes!

See, that's what dissapoints me in this music. It's not the politics - beaten to death and not for this thread at any rate. No, it is that it feels so misplaced. It reaches back to misplaced or obsolete symbolism. It is civil rights / 1968 songs meets Disney patriotism meets Christian rock. We need something new!


I want flags and guns and modern music!

[Tellos Athenaios]

@Lemur: just think what fun you can have when you mix Tea Party with Song Smith.

[Ironside]

Yes!

Isn't the tea party movement heavily influenced by "returning to the lost golden age" (that never really existed) rethorics? I'm not sure if anything else than old school country patriotic music really fits that thought. Libertarains realizing that they strive for something that is in reality new might go for more modern music.

[Beskar]

I love the Socialist imagery being used.

[spmetla]

And here I thought tea party music was a bunch of little girls singing nursery rhymes.

[Lemur]

To much talk, not enough bad music. Stop your yapping and post some tunes!

[Megas Methuselah]

I am a big fan of bad music.

So, since you hate rap, that means rap is considered "good music."



(no baddie language)

Had to do some digging to find this thread again, but it was worth it to share the latest:

[Ronin]

this is a comedy tv skit.....RIGHT???? RIGHT????

[Greyblades]

Do you think they would allow me to send it to you've been framed?

Glad I hadn't eaten lunch yet - though dry heaving sucks too.

[Fisherking]

Why does this remind me of the Jerry Springer Show?

What people won’t do to embarrass themselves.

[Tuuvi]

This music makes me feel like the US is a bad place to live. Take me to Nigeria pleeaase I'm begging you

[Beskar]

"We are Freedom Fighters!!! We fight for freedom!!!"

That is what the people who drove hijacked planes into the twin-towers said as well...

[Strike For The South]

But they wern't white

duh

[Lemur]

Inspired to find the original by the latest Herman Cain ad. This one's got fairly high production values:

[Ronin]

Would love to try to sneak this one in to their programming......I´d bet good money they wouldn´t catch the meaning.

[lars573]

You wish.


And this is the only Tea Party music I'll ever listen too:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

[drone]

I'm waiting for OWS music. It should be as good or better than 70's punk.

wouldn´t it just be the Rage Against the Machine catalog?

[Vuk]

Do you forget that the Tea Party is not a religious organization that goes around blowing buildings up. Honestly Strike, you are the most race obsessed person I have ever/never met. It really is not healthy to the mind to only be able to see things through the lens of race. You are like the Marxists who go around explaining every event in human history as a class struggle, only with you it is a racial struggle. Seriously man, chill the heck out. If you think Americans (or at least the majority white population and any conservative minorities) are a bunch of racist arseholes, why don't you go to Iraq or Mexico and see what type of racial equality you will find there.

I think the comment was made in jest...
