| Abstract | Political song, especially that which fits new words to existing melodies' semiotic associations, has been used by Americans as an oppositional tool throughout the history of the United States. Activists employed tunes' "virality" to disseminate political stances and these practices played a key role in the rise of the modern labor movement. This article traces that history, through a succession of contextualized examples linking nineteenth-century political song to contemporary activism. |
