Conrad, I've asked you a couple of times what songs a fascist might sing that would express his or her position and you've not answered the question, so I must presume that you, too, are at a loss. So I did a bit of googling and came up with the following entry in Wikipedia. So, for your enlightenment and edification, you might want to read this.

CLICKY.

You might also take note of the fact that, now, in Germany, singing songs directly associated with the Third Reich is illegal, and can get you three years in the slammer.

For example, this is rather crude English translation from the German of the first verse and chorus of a fascist song:
We National Socialists
Want no Reactionaries
We hate Jews and Marxists
Long live the German Revolution!

Chorus:
Onward, brothers, to the barricades!
The Führer calls, follow him now!
Reactionaries have tried to betray him
But the Third Reich will triumph nevertheless.
How do you think these sentiments might go over at your local folk club?
