Townhall.org is featuring a list of forty classic conservative rockers, featuring songs by such conservative stalwarts as the Beatles ("Revolution"), and Elton John ("Philadelphia Freedom"). They somehow missed this rollicking little pro-life number:

She was a no one who killed her baby
She sent her letters from the country
She was an animal
She was a bloody disgrace!

Bodies! I'm not an animal!
Bodies! I'm not an animal!

Dragged on a table in a factory
Illegitimate place to be
In a packet in a lavatory
Die little baby SCREAMING!

Yes, rockin' Republicans, that's "Bodies", track two on that anthemic album of conservative classics, "Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols." Yet George Will has never had a single kind thing to say about the album, or even the band. I wonder why?

Hey, it's at least as good a fit as number 26 on the townhall.com list of forty, "Charlie on the MTA", which is credited to the Kingston Trio, but was originally a campaign song for a socialist, Walter O'Brien. (The Kingston trio changed the name to "George O'Brien" due to red-baiting).

On the other hand, if for some reason the Beatles, Elton John, the Sex Pistols, and the Progressive Party just aren't conservative enough for your taste, you might enjoy the work of a band with a truly conservative philosophy...
