There aren't any pro-Margarget songs?

There could be. Somewhere. But I doubt it very much.

Well, somebody ought to write one. So there can be a list of the Top One Positive Song About Margaret Thacher.

I somehow don't think that person will be [personal profile] naraht...

There were campaign songs about her, though, usually rewrites of earlier pop songs. Vince Hill, I think, sang 'Maggie for Me' in either of the 1983 or 1987 campaigns.

Color me unsurprised. May she rest in peace and hopefully take her policies with her.

Hear, hear. Nicely phrased.

Thanks for those. I am disappointed to see that they failed to include any Thatcher playground rhymes, but in terms of musical merit I can't say "Here is Maggie Thatcher, throw her up and catch her" etc. really gets into any top 20.

I was thinking of that one myself! Someone should have written a song based on it, or quoting it at least. There's still time.

Such a trove of songs! (And today, still, I'm all, "Yeah, what Billy said.")

Not really joining in the celebrations myself, but I do have a love of music, so I will contribute this, which is at least about her time alive: Thatcher Fucked The Kids, by Frank Turner.
