  • Reply with quote
hi all,

i'm not meaning to go on a political bent (that's best saved for the appropriate forums). But i've discovered lately that every song about ronald reagan or with ronald reagan (samples) in it are good songs.

I just heard "they saved reagan's brain" and it's pretty darn good. there's also that killer mike song that's pretty good. Other two songs i can think of are (i think it's) "gods of war" by def leppard and "land of confusion" from genesis (both 80s songs). But i could swear there have been other "ronald reagan" songs lately. Can you think of any others, by chance?

I was about to post that one Surprised It was the first one that came to mind!

Oh... might have thought of a second! "We've Got a Bigger Problem Now' by Dead Kennedys. I'm only guessing they use him by name though.

It explored themes of poverty, desolation and pessimism to contrast the 'me-first', feel-good commercialism of trickle-down Reagan Americana. To show that not everyone in the US was flourishing, that many were struggling under the new economic reality.
