Topical Song
Topical Song
 
[englisch/amerikanisch, 'tɔpɪkl sɔ;Ȗ; wörtlich »aktuelles Lied«], in den USA gebräuchlicher Begriff für Lieder zu aktuellen politischen oder gesellschaftlichen Themen, wie sie besonders in der Folksong-Bewegung der Sechzigerjahre (Folksong) verbreitet waren. Sie gehen zurück auf die Tradition des amerikanischen Arbeiterliedes und wurden vor allem durch Woody Guthrie (1912-1967), Cisco Houston (1918-1961) und Pete Seeger (* 1919) geprägt. Den Topical Songs liegen Volks- oder Arbeiterlieder bzw. diesen nachempfundene Melodien zugrunde, die mit Bezug auf aktuelle politische Ereignisse neu textiert sind. Aufgegriffen wurde diese Tradition in den Sechzigerjahren von Bob Dylan (* 1941), Tom Paxton (* 1937), Joan Baez (* 1941) und Phil Ochs (1940-1976).
