Kinda obvious and potentially controversial, but:

Sweet Home Alabama - Lynyrd Skynyrd

Southern Man (Neil Young)

It probably only came to mind because I was in Choir as a child and we sang Sweet Home Alabama, Mother Freedom and (Four Dead In) Ohio at our Spring concert one year...doubt a school could get away with that these days.

I would have to add "Alabama" by Neil Young along with "Southern Man" to this. Lynyrd Skynyrd did not directly say Alabama in the song, but sang:

"Well I heard Mister Young sing about her
Well I heard ol' Neil put her down
Well I hope Neil Young will remember
A southern man don't need him around anyhow".

I think it was that song Alabama that really pissed them off. Well, Neil Young pissed off a lot of people with his music.

I wished I could have been at your spring concert when you all sang, "(Four Dead In) Ohio".
