(note: "grumpy old men songs" meaning songs by old farts being grumpy about current society/music/whatever, not just random songs by grumpy old farts)

Presumably old farts being grumpy about current society/music/whatever = conservatism + age.

In which case 'Okie from Muskogee' would count if Merle Haggard was singing it now. (Although somebody mentioned on another thread that he's since recanted. I always thought it was a semi-pisstake.)

"Village Green Preservation Society" by the Kinks. Although he sounds too polite to really be called "grumpy".

Arthur, Ray sounds a HELL of a lot more grumpy on "Arthur, Or The Decline And Fall Of The British Empire" (and I'm not saying that to be funny, either, he really just goes over the line of nastiness in such a brilliant way on that album).
