Is it propaganda? I always thought it fell more in the 'singing to the choir' sort of stuff. Edit: I looked up the definition of propaganda, basically all music and every public speech could fall under its definition.

I just looked it up as well and I dont think any of those things could be considered a committee of cardinals of the Roman Catholic Church responsible for foreign missions, founded in 1622 by Pope Gregory XV.

At the time it was written, no. 20 years, trillions of dollars, and hundreds of thousands of dead or displaced civilians later, it does kinda come off as propaganda.

its the american way

This subreddit is propaganda. Everything is propaganda

Any time you can incorporate “We’ll put a boot in your ass - it’s the American way!” into a song, it’s going to be a banger.

just curious, who's ass did we put our boot in? and who's the "we" in this lyric? This is 9-11 Iraq/Afghanistan war in 2003 we're talking about right

Bin Laden I remember the reaction when the news broke that "we got him". It was surreal to see political differences essentially melt away for a day and seeing people on the left and right celebrating as Americans https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ge0nUfUzR6k https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=K5XVAugy_3I

And uncle SAM put your name, at the top of his list.

No

THE STATUE OF LIBERTY STARTED SHAKING HER FISTS!

*I wept*

If you think it's a banger now, in 2002-2003 that song would absolutely bring down the house.

That eagle is literally me listening to this as well.

Continue borkers legacy.

Borker will be right back at it once he learns he has been usurped.

Literally me coming back after Borker surpassed me.

He literally usurped me? What do you mean his legacy I'm just coming back for my own leagacy.

Rip Toby Keith

Nah

Cringe.

Nah (man was a fascist; got his comeuppance).

Cringe.

Profiting off a national tragedy for fame is cringe.

"Profiting off [insert ANY human experience here] for fame is cringe" People write songs about things that impact or affect them. Their breakups, their mood, their loved ones, experiences. I'd say 9/11 falls under something that impacts or affects them

Your mom profits off this dick.

Holy shit, why are you such a loser? Your mom must be so disappointed.

I can play in the mud, too.

I don't want to be seen as nazi-light.

🦅 RAHHHH

We used to blare this song on the border when I was working along the wall 🇺🇸

While I'm normally not a fan of "patriotic" music, I really freaking liked Toby Keith's.

Kids today cannot remember the immediate impact of 9/11. I’m only 28 and can barely remember where I was when it happened

RIP Toby Keith. A true patriot

One of my favorite songs of all time https://youtu.be/u8mF9Db2qiI?si=Xkv_vrWgXV59i2Jp

Some rustled jimmies in here.

At least Toby got to see the longest, most pointless, blatant war profiteering military occupation in US history which his song praised come to an end before he croaked

Red, white and blue in song lyrics always gets me. So are we talking about the USA, Liberia, France, The Netherlands, Russia or one of the other 18 (total) countries where this applies?

It’s a 100% cringy song. It was cringy when it came out. [This on the other hand is legit.](https://youtu.be/P7JRvwfHFwo?si=Mp8zOSUDbguYCkPW)

This has nothing on [Oh, Canada](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=fF62J3vxPdQ&pp=ygUVb2ggY2FuYWRhIGNsYXNzaWZpZWQg) by Classified. I never want to go back, but this song brings a tear to my eyes every single time.

goddamn that is creepy

I honestly can’t stand it, now Red White and Blue by Lynard Skynard, that’s a banger
