My first reaction was "I don't go for that kinky suburban Peyton Place stuff". However, it turned out that we just go from house to house to eat and drink and leave the kids with a baby sitter. (Bummer?) Anyway, to make a short story long, we also have party games (totally G-rated, bummer) such as quizzes. This year, I'm going to present conservative rock songs as my contribution, stealing liberally (totally) from here. I might post the final version. What do you think of Queen's "Fat-bottomed Girls"? Is eschewing the Hollywood ideal of female beauty a conservative value? I moved into a suburb (my first one) five years ago and after a while my neighbors invited me to an “Adult Progressive Party”.

What do you think of Queen’s “Fat-bottomed Girls”? Is eschewing the Hollywood ideal of female beauty a conservative value?

I recommend Chuck Berry's "Johnny B. Good". The title says it all. The Mormons have been advertising on Rush on the importance of couples exhibiting affection to each other as well as setting aside "quality time" so I throw the Eurythmics' "Here Comes The Rain Again" into the mix too: "So baby, talk to me like lovers do, Walk with me like lovers do ..." How many do we have so far? Any chance of taking some time out from discussing the indisputably natural blonde to finish this list?

How many do we have so far?

First of all, it's a metaphoric anthem of 2nd Amendment rights. :-) The song champions self-sufficiency, a do-it-yourself attitude as opposed to relying on the Nanny State: "I'm not the kind of person who quits Even when the chips are down You gotta fight for what you want Don't give up Stick to your guns You gotta fight for what you want Gotta believe in what you do You gotta fight for what you want Don't give up Stick to your guns" "A hard time you've been having Don't feel bad if you're on your own If you fight for what you want Things ain't gonna turn out so bad" And there's a message for entitlement liberal whiners: "Well I've been trying this for so very long To make you understand If you'll fight for what you need Don't come crawling over to me" How about Dokken’s “Stick to Your Guns”?

First of all, it’s a metaphoric anthem of 2nd Amendment rights. :-)

The song champions self-sufficiency, a do-it-yourself attitude as opposed to relying on the Nanny State:

“I’m not the kind of person who quits
Even when the chips are down
You gotta fight for what you want
Don’t give up
Stick to your guns

You gotta fight for what you want
Gotta believe in what you do
You gotta fight for what you want
Don’t give up
Stick to your guns”

“A hard time you’ve been having
Don’t feel bad if you’re on your own
If you fight for what you want
Things ain’t gonna turn out so bad”

And there’s a message for entitlement liberal whiners:

“Well I’ve been trying this for so very long
To make you understand
If you’ll fight for what you need
Don’t come crawling over to me”
