What are some class-conscious bangers I can perform on Karaoke night? Most of my favorite songs happen to be kinda downers. Looking to get people hyped, but the best I can come up with is “Which Side Are You On?”.
Edit: thanks for all the suggestions! I’m not familiar with a bunch of these, so I’ll have fun checking them out.
Bella Ciao has gotten very popular, there are even remixes.
Some Spanish ones in case there are Spanish-speaking people:
Fiesta Pagana by Mago de Oz has explicit pro-worker themes, though more anti-Christian-church than anti-Bourgeois
Ska-P has plenty of class conscious songs such as El Gato López, Jaque al Rey…
La Raíz has very explicitly class conscious ones: Jilgueros, Parece Mentira…
As for English songs, you could definitely use some Irish anti-anglo bangers like Go on home.
Kneecap has some bangers too
Sixteen Tons is an older song about a miner who’s in heavy debt with the company store.
