Thread Name: Preserve Politically Incorrect Songs???
Subject: RE: BS: Preserve 'Politically Incorrect Songs???
The thought has just occurred to me that if any enterprising singer ever got round to recording a CD comprised solely of the most politically incorrect songs of all time, ir would sell like hotcakes. I mean, can you imagine all the free publicity ? Hell, maybe I will do it myself, purely as an academic project, you understand.

But which songs to include? "Mrs Stein Don't Rent to Gypsies Anymore", would have to be included. Anything by Stephen Foster which mentions "darkies" would be good, the aforementioned "Early Morning Blues", the whaling song "Ballena". Anything else spring to mind?
