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

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

Dwight D. Eisenhower
John F. Kennedy
Ronald Reagan

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
You're welcome.. sorry I couldn't help.. good luck with the quest!
Didn't Wings have a single out where they mentioned loads of names... cant't remember the song though!?
Question Author
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.
Let 'em in ... Wings... maybe find some in there!
