This weekend the hashtag #RepublicanSongs was trending on Twitter. (For those of you unfamiliar with Twitter trending, it means that someone tweeted an idea—in this case the retitling of a popular song to reflect right-wing thinking, tagged with the hash tag #RepublicanSongs. So many people contributed their own ideas that the hashtag dominated Twitter for a day). Here are ten of the countless Republican Songs I spent my weekend—I mean, took a few minutes here and there out of my busy social calendar—coming up with. As I consider myself not only a Twitter artist but a Twitter curator, below my own titles I present a sampler of great Republican Songs tweeted by the greater Twitter community.

  5. We Will, We Will Frack You (We Will, We Will Rock You)

Thank you for reading The Nation!

We hope you enjoyed the story you just read, just one of the many incisive, deeply-reported articles we publish daily. Now more than ever, we need fearless journalism that shifts the needle on important issues, uncovers malfeasance and corruption, and uplifts voices and perspectives that often go unheard in mainstream media.

Throughout this critical election year and a time of media austerity and renewed campus activism and rising labor organizing, independent journalism that gets to the heart of the matter is more critical than ever before. Donate right now and help us hold the powerful accountable, shine a light on issues that would otherwise be swept under the rug, and build a more just and equitable future.

For nearly 160 years, The Nation has stood for truth, justice, and moral clarity. As a reader-supported publication, we are not beholden to the whims of advertisers or a corporate owner. But it does take financial resources to report on stories that may take weeks or months to properly investigate, thoroughly edit and fact-check articles, and get our stories into the hands of readers.

Donate today and stand with us for a better future. Thank you for being a supporter of independent journalism.

Thank you for your generosity.
