-Don't Stop Living In The Red

And "Go West" was by the Village People...

― Rob Bolton (Rob Bolton), Friday, 13 February 2004 12:00 (twenty-two years ago)

These aren't commanding enough, most of these are just verbs. Hence:

Eat Shit You Fucking Redneck - Pigface

― DJ Mencap (DJ Mencap), Friday, 13 February 2004 12:12 (twenty-two years ago)

Does GG Allin's "Suck My Ass It Smells" count? He gives a reason, which compromises the effectiveness of the command. "Bite It You Scum" has a similar problem.

I'm sure Whitehouse has a song telling someone else what to do. Or more accurately what is going to be done to someone.
