What are some class-conscious bangers I can perform on Karaoke night? Most of my favorite songs happen to be kinda downers. Looking to get people hyped, but the best I can come up with is “Which Side Are You On?”.
Edit: thanks for all the suggestions! I’m not familiar with a bunch of these, so I’ll have fun checking them out.
Come Out Ye Black and Tans for a risky IRA one
Sixteen tons as everyone said already is a great one
Maybe listen to some songs by IDLES or Bob Vylan?
Gil Scott Heron
IDLES has good energy, but I recall being a little turned off by how extremely liberal they get. Can probably pick out a few high points to focus on (though be warned, no karaoke operator is ever going to have their tracks, in my experience)
Total libs indeed
Theyre not Marxists or anything but worthy of a karaoke in the same way that Rage Against The Machine are
I love singing come out ye black and tans! Gil Scott Heron is a fun suggestion but I might come off goofy singing whitey’s on the moon (I’m rather unmelinated).
