A song that bad can only make one think of Zappa's advice: "Shut up 'n' play yer guitar." I guess when the lefties have all the great musicians today, it's kinda hard finding anything better than this dreck.

actually, quality of the music and writing isn't that bad, it's just proto-fascist (but catchy), with lines like:
“It’s called a textbook/Why don’t you read it”
“Shut Up and Teach/Don’t Give a Speech”
“keep your political beliefs/all to yourself”
“you might lose your job if you don’t learn/to stick to the curriculum”

Is this the message of the right (and Erin O'Connor), telling professors to shut up?

John, I don't bait you on your blog. Please don't bait me on mine. It's a link to a song.
