Mere words cannot prepare you for the horror that you will experience upon hearing “Bush Was Right” by The Right Brothers. “Bush Was Right” plays like a mix between “We Didn’t Start The Fire” and a third-rate imitation of the faux arena rock that’s played during beer commercials, with a lyrical subtlety that makes Sir Mix-A-Lot look like Bob Dylan. And notice that twang in the vocals? It shouldn’t come as any surprise that these guys are really a country band. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, but this pathetic attempt to cross over makes Garth Brooks’ “Chris Gaines” experiment look like a success in comparison.
No, it’s not a parody. The group Right March is campaigning to get this crap played on MTV :
“The Right Brothers,” a conservative music duo out of Nashville, has released a new song that does what needed to be done: it tells the TRUTH. Titled “Bush Was Right,” the song hits the listener with fact after fact after fact – but the tune is so catchy, and the music is so driving, you can’t help but sing along (especially on the chorus)!
Now here’s the first problem. How do you “sing along” to a chorus that isn’t sung at all? The chorus of this song is just the words “Bush Was Right” yelled over and over again, punctuated by a guitar lick that resembles a childish taunt “neener neener neener”.Yes, you can drunkenly shout along with the song, but it would be a stretch to call that singing.
This is what the youth in America need. They’re already bombarded with songs on the radio and videos on MTV that trash our President, conservative beliefs, and traditional American values. From “Mosh” by Eminem, to “Idiot Son of an A**hole” by NOFX… all of these songs serve to fill young people’s minds with LIES.
I don’t know if Right March realized this or not, but Eminem is one of the popular musical acts on Earth. He could read the phone book and make it a hit. NOFX, though lacking the mainstream success of Eminem, have been touring and recording for twenty years and are one of the most influential punk bands of all time. Who the hell are The Right Brothers?
We think it’s time they hear the TRUTH – so we’re launching a full-out nationwide campaign to get this new song full of TRUTH onto MTV and radio stations across America!WILL YOU HELP US? We’re putting together a “kickin’” music video right now, and we’re preparing a HUGE grassroots campaign to get hundreds of thousands of people to request “Bush Was Right!” on MTV’s “Total Request Live” show… leading to our demands for it to be played in regular rotation!
If they DON’T – then we’ll hit the media in a BIG way, showing how MTV plays left-wing videos while CENSORING conservative videos
Now this is my favorite part. If MTV doesn’t play “Bush Was Right” during the 15 minutes or so per day that they still show videos, it’s because they’re censoring conservative views! This is hilarious on so many levels. Are these guys really stupid enough to think that there’s some sort of musical fairness doctrine or something? There are a ton of talented, hard-working groups out there that deserve the mainstream exposure these goobers think they’re entitled to.
But I will give The Right Brothers credit for one thing…they’re hilarious. “Bush Was Right” has nothing on songs like “Trickle Down”…
If the rich man didn’t spend his cash on cars and boats and planes
There’d be a lot of average Joe’s out of work today
His dollar helps America’s economy to thrive
The rich man keeps the working man working and aliveChorus
Trickle down, trickle down let the money trickle down
It won’t do anybody good buried in the ground
Trickle down, trickle down let the money spread around
And one day it’ll be my turn and mine will trickle down
…and “This Ain’t Your Daddy’s Party” :
This ain’t your daddy’s party
They’ve gone and left you behind
It’s time you learned the real story
Time you made up your own mind
You’re generation number three on a liberal family tree
But do you really even know why
This ain’t your daddy’s party
So won’t you come and join mineWell, you say they make a stand for the average common man
That’s a real nice philosophy
They’ve been claiming that for years while the money disappears
From working folks like you and me
And don’t even get me started on Defense and Education
separation of church and state
And how their liberal hearts bleed if you try to kill a tree
But not a baby on the way
I’m sure they have a song about the death of small government conservatism on the way any moment now. Then again, if they were able to see the contraictions in their own worldview, they probably wouldn’t have followed the anti-immigrant rant “The Illegals” with the immigrant-friendly “What Happened To The Pot”.
first there were these crazy girls. and now this.
this is an AWESOME trend in right-wing wankery.
i’m proud to be an american! where at least i know there will always be fucktards like this to entertain me!
They’re of the school of thought that it’s OK to be immigrant-friendly so long as you’re anti-multiculturalist, it would seem. Which ultimately means they’re friendly to certain kinds of immigrants and not others…
MTV still plays music videos?

Two things:
• Nothing lends an air of sanity to an argument like clicking that caps lock key!
• I’m gonna start claiming NBC, CBS, ABC, FOX, and UPN are censoring me by not broadcasting pictures of me, shirtless, nursing a baby goat from a bottle.
I’m from Nashville. Maybe I can find these guys and have a meaningful political debate.
Bwaaahaaahaaahaaa!
I kill myself.
Bwaaahaahaahaaaahaa!
Oh, Michael Berube is SOooooo going to tear you a new one…
How about changing the title to “Political Anthems for Delusional Assholes”? or Wankers, or… there’s so much to choose from without slandering some perfectly nice people by aligning them with the “Right Brothers”
Hate to play language cop, but I’ve just read so much about it lately…
I think it’s a play on the title of an album by The Queers called “Love Songs For the Retarded.”
Just a guess.
It’s icing on the cake that their music publisher is Curb Music. That “Curb” is Mike Curb, former Lieutenant Governor of California.
So, is Curb “Burning Bridges” on this one? Har. Two Rights can’t write a song. Ho ha!
I’d like to see is this video on MTV, with Beavis & Butt-Head doing commentary. That would kick ass. Uh-huh-huh-huh.
Just running Right Brothers through last.fm they come up with 111 fans (unique users who have listened to any of their music). NOFX has 46765.
Something tells me the popularity for Right Brothers isn’t quite the level to make MTV care.
And checkout the band image for Right Brothers (uploaded by last.fm members). Looks like a steaming load of crap on a bun to me.
They sem too good to be true. Are you sure they aren’t putting Right March on?
Best song I’ve heard lately is James McMurtry’s “We Can’t Make It Here Anymore”
‘Now I’m stocking shelves at a wal-mart store
Just like the one’s we made before
‘cept these are made in Singapore
I guess we can’t make ‘em here anymore
Should I hate a man for the shade of his skin?
Or the shape of his eyes or the shape I’m in?
Should I hate him for having my job today?
No, I’ll hate the men that sent the jobs away”
