"Swing to the Right" is a Utopia (featuring Todd Rundgren, Roger Powell, Kasim Sulton, and Willie Wilcox) album from 1982. It followed the well-intentioned Beatles parody/homage "Deface the Music". "Swing to the Right" swings into hard-edged commentary on corporate raiders, warmongers, political villains, and despicable music industry moguls.

Utopia, took this material on the road for a full year begging audiences to petition reluctant Bearsville Records execs to release it. The true irony of this chapter for the band is that the subsequent new label release, the self-titled LP on Network Records, was for all intents and purposes the record Bearsville always wanted them to make.Fact|date=June 2008
