    Great Tories in Pop Songs

    Over on the revisionism thread, referring to Rick Astley's 1987 debut hit, Lang Spoon gave us this typographical malapropism: "Never Gonna Gove You Up".

    So, other Tories in pop songs.

    Thatcher's Way Love Goes by The Temptations.

    Heath's the Greatest Dancer by Sister Sledge (or, more apt, "Heath's Gonna Step On You Again")

    and, thinking laterally while aiming for an "oooh":

    Hitler Baby One More Time by Britney Spears
