Have to add another that qualifies way more, since it came up on my playlist on the way home from work.
Electric Six - Gay Bar
At the time, I was into the Rockband games, and when this song came out, I flat-out refused to sing it. I felt like I was being punked. My wife sang it instead, the song was awesome, and I went from "I would never" to "I will sing it" to "I will be the first one to pick it every time." IIRC it's fairly easy for all instruments, so it's fine to pick early before the band is properly warmed up. Like you never start with Metallica, Dream Theater, Iron Maiden, or certain other ones, unless you wanna be in a fight with your drummer and/or guitarist. Or they're gonna turn around and pick Spoonman, by Soundgarden, which is hell on vocals. In other words, you're in a fight.
Years later, I discovered the music video, which is 100% on point. It's a stupid/silly song and the video pulls no punches. TL;DW, the band members are all dressed up like Abraham Lincoln and... well... nah, just watch it. It might make some RWNJs think twice about saying they're "the party of Lincoln". Because apparently... Lincoln knew how to party?
