Show Notes
We don't need politicians and other nefarious actors telling us what our favorite songs mean. We have brains and ears and we also have the artists themselves to tell us the true meaning of the art they put into the world. The mighty Gabe Scalone is back to help ATTT complete our countdown of those songs that have found themselves co-opted by jerks over the years, and we're here to set the record straight, or at least cut through the bullshit. Top Ten Politically Misinterpreted Songs Part 2 features the second half of our list, with picks 5-1 revealed, plus another great hang with our boy Gabe.

Taken on their face, (most) of the songs heard in Top Ten Politically Misinterpreted Songs Parts 1 & 2 are total bangers. Listen without the bullshit! The official playlist also features all of the bumper songs we played: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2kgcTF4Twf5CKnh4d8onh6?si=9d1f27ce9ec148cd
