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:

We hate it when things get misinterpreted, and we really hate it when it happens for nefarious reasons. We suppose that you could just as easily rename this episode Top Ten Politically Misrepresented Songs, but either way, art is being used as a weapon here, and we feel it's our duty to call it out. The mighty Gabe Scalone makes his triumphant return in Top Ten Politically MIsinterpreted Songs, with picks 10-6 in our countdown of great songs that deserve better.

The dirtiest four letter word is A.I. The moment the robots take over the world, we die. We die. For this reason and many others we're ready to Melt The Bots with the second half of our list in Top Ten Songs Against A.I. Part 2. Joe Lavelle came through for us in style, as he helped us put together a playlist befitting our current situation, with songs that question and resist an uncertain future, and songs that value humanity over machinery. We deserve a voice in whether or not this "world-changing" technology is all they say it is, and by "they", we mean the people with the money. For a hundred reasons, we're against it, and we have the songs to back us up.
