[edit] Johnny Rebel
About the phrase Almost Everything By Johnny Rebel. Does that mean every song that he did? --SuperDude 01:27, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

- Pretty much, the only song I can think of by Johnny Rebel that is not racist is "Homo Truck Drivin", so that counts as not all of them being racist.Protozoic Waste 22:29, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Merge?
Is there any reason not to merge this list into the Racism, Apartheid and Civil Rights section of List of protest songs? Or at least, the list of anti-racist songs? Catamorphism 00:32, 19 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] "Hitler's In The Charts Again"
Is the Exploited song "Hitler's In The Charts Again" an anti-racist song? I always interpreted it as being a racist song, and the UK music press of the time such as New Musical Express and Sounds labelled it as racist.
- Here are the lyrics (at least according to one site):
Listen to the sound of the soldiers dancing Armageddon time on the firing line Dont know what theyre doing Looks like troundles brewing Wunderbar auf weider zane Hitlers in the charts again You look like a tramp put you in a camp Join the shower quenue in your dancing shoes Be the dancing champ of your concentration camp Keep on movin fast remember belsen was a gas Hitlers in the charts again Moving in trance watch the soldiers dance Bloodstains on their feet scared of everyone you meet Armys on the street can you feel the heat Watch the soldiers fall it couldnt happen here
It doesn't seem to promote racism at all. It appears to warn of an possible fascist takeover and armageddon. Spylab 21:42, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] cleanup
I cleaned up the article: alphabetizing, adding sections, fixing red links to bands and songs. If anyone prefers the previous format, feel free to revert. --Jaguara 05:27, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
