Damn!
Gone left-I went to a music festival on Donner Pass (where the wagon train resorted to cannibalism) about fifteen years ago. When we stopped for groceries and camping supplies at the bottom of the mountain, they were giving away small flag decals that stick on by static (it was July 4th). I grabbed one and told my friend -who wasn't familiar with John Prine, the headliner-"watch what I do with this". The next night, when John had done several tunes, I pulled the decal out of my pocket, caught his eye, and threw it on stage. He looked at me, winked, and said "that's one of the best song requests I've ever gotten". Then he played the song.
Oh...the answer is John Prine (no violation!)

Artist: John Prine
Song: Your Flag Decal Won't Get You Into Heaven
Album: Other Songs
While digesting Reader’s Digest
In the back of a dirty book store
A plastic flag with gum on the back
Fell out on the floor.
Well,I picked it up and ran outside
And slapped it on my windowshield.
And If I could see ol’ Betsy Ross
I’d tell her how good I feel.
(Chorus:)
But, you flag decal won’t get you
Into Heaven anymore.
They’re already overcrowded
From your dirty little war
Now Jesus don’t like Killin’
No matter what the reasons for.
And your flag decal won’t get you into Heaven anymore.
Well,I went to the Bank this morning
And the cashier said to me
If you join the Christmas Club
We'll give you ten of them flags for free.
I didn’t mess a round a bit
I took him up on what he said
And stuck them stickers all over my car
And one on my wife’s forehead.
(Chorus:)
But, you flag decal won’t get you
Into Heaven anymore.
They’re already overcrowded
From your dirty little war
Now Jesus don’t like Killin’
No matter what the reasons for.
And your flag decal won’t get you into Heaven anymore.
Well,I got my windshield so filled with flags I couldn’t see
So I ran my car upside a curb and right into a tree
By the time they got a doctor down
I was already dead,
And I’ll never understand
Why the man,
Standing in the Pearly Gates said…
(Chorus:)
But your flag decal won’t get you into Heaven anymore,
We’re already overcrowded from your dirty little war
Now Jesus don’t like killin’
No matter what the reasons for.
And your flag decal won’t get you into Heaven anymore.
