The best must be the original dubya and his adoption of Born in the USA as a patriotic anthem.

Ok, but you know who I meant.
Anyway, George snr had a W in his name too so he was still an honourary dubya.
One more is Woodie Guthries "This Land". Pretty much seen now as a gung ho pro-Republican American Dream song, when it's quite distinctly the opposite and anti Government, anti establishment and pretty pro communism.
and as Bruce pointed out in his fantastic live cover of the song, it was written as an angry song, an answer to Irving Berlin who has just written "God Bless America".
I didn't see it. Can you send me details and I'll look for it on Amazon.There's a fantastic scene in the Billy Bragg/Wilco documentary (where they record lost Woodie tracks) when it's revealed to one of the stereotypical Good Ol boys that Woodie was a Commie and that song was to the left of The Red Flag.
I don't like Mondays by the Boomtown Rats.
