songs which mention presidents

[starmack]

I am seeking to update a list of modern songs in rock, folk and country music which mention the names of American Presidents.
Suggestions welcomed.

[Frenchoid]

David Bowie - Young Americans: "Do you remember/Your President Nixon"

Rolling Stones - Sympathy For the Devil: "I shouted out, who killed the Kennedys/When after all it was you and me"

Steinski and the Mass Media - The Motorcade Sped On: has sampels of the commentary when Kennedy was shot

Hi Frenchoid
Absolutely brilliant start.

[Frenchoid]

Also - Simply Red - Money's too tight to mention: "I'm talking about Ronnie, Ronnie" [Reagan, of course!]

[AllYourBase]

REM's "drive"
Smack, crack, Bush whacked.....

[Stephen_G]

Billy Joel - We Didn't Start The Fire

Richard Nixon
Dwight D. Eisenhower
John F. Kennedy
Ronald Reagan

I think The Beloved in 'Hello' mention US presidents, not sure

[starmack]

Hi Suemondo59
Have checked those lyrics as best I can. Hell of a lot of names there but no presidents that I can readily identify!
Good wishes

[suemundo59]

You're welcome.. sorry I couldn't help.. good luck with the quest!

[suemundo59]

Didn't Wings have a single out where they mentioned loads of names... cant't remember the song though!?

[starmack]

Hi suemondo59 - You're really exposing the cracks in my creakiness at this stage! Can recall a good lot of Wings but cannot rememebr that one. Will chase it though. Thanks.

[suemundo59]

Let 'em in ... Wings... maybe find some in there!
