Haven't visited there myself, but the locales where the gypsies live in Munkkisaari or Kalasatama should look and feel pretty rough.

Aergh, I've been trying to think of suggestions but the only right-wing songs I can think of are pretty crude tracks intended for "junttis". I get the feeling these right-wingers are rather more sophisticated?

Maybe if this is in Finland maybe the poster should show a Finnish flag being burnt? That would make the concept totally clear straight away. :)
(Also, "Republican" sort of threw me too. It can mean totally different things outside the US. In Britain it ...

Piritori is not nice at all! Helsinginkatu around it is a terrible place too. Just keep it.

Taxman is what most shocked me, why were the Beatles whining about taxes? Imagine if any band did that now, they'd totally lose their credibility.

Awesome list! I've always wondered why Sympathy For The Devil and The Beatles' Revolution had such uncool lyrics about upholding the status quo...
What I'm looking for is essentially this list but with music we can afford to use :D

Inneresting, indeed! The costs for American music are indeed too high, especially these pop classics. I hear just getting to rights to the songs can take months and months of work, even if you could pay for them.

Oh, sorry! I should've clarified that these are right-wingers in Finland, not US!
Otherwise you'd be absolutely right.

Maybe this is me being unfair to right-wingers, but I cannot imagine a typical "pro-American" household listening to music that isn't in English. Sarah Palin didn't even have a passport until she ran for office, and when did you last see an American preside...
Yes, it's famous as a pro-American anthem but how many people realise that it isn't?
The lyrics actually talk about someone losing their job, being abandoned by society and imply that the Vietnam war was a racist one. Yet so many people think it's some k...

I've found Jamendo is a good source of CC material, especially if you browse it by tag:
