Too late for the ETA:
Choice lyrics from the above:
They say there are strangers who threaten us,
Our immigrants and infidels.
They say there is strangeness too dangerous
In our theatres and bookstore shelves.
That those who know what’s best for us —
Must rise and save us from ourselves.

Sorry, you all. It’s going to be Ted Nugent and Meatloaf because everybody else has said; “Use our music and we’ll sue your butts off.”

This is the one that immediately came to mind.
So how about [_Entry Of The Gladiators_](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_B0CyOAO8y0)?

"Good Evening, Mr. Phelps.
The man in the picture with the odd red hair, short fingers and a face that looks like a thumb with a bad scar is Donald Drumpf.
Through various media manipulations, he has managed to rise from the bankruptcies of Wall Street to the most powerful empty suit of the GOP.
Your Mission, Mr Phelps… should decide to accept it… is to cut into the musical PA feed at the GOP convention and… at a designated time… over ride the the standard play-list with the above play list of songs on continuous loop.
As always, should you or any of your IM force be caught or killed, the Secretary will disavow any knowledge of your actions. Good luck, Jim."

An excellent list, OP, and hard to improve on. _Wrecking Ball_ by Miley Cyrus should be the grand intro.
A few more:
_Believe Me_, by the Royal Teens
_Idiot Wind_, Bob Dylan
_Little Hands_, from the musical _Anya_ (1965), first line “Little hands, little fingers …”
_How Could You Believe Me When I Said I Love You When You Know I’ve Been A Liar All My Life?_ From the 1951 movie _Royal Wedding_, music by Burton Lane, lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner.
