Zombie Reagan looks a lot like Regular Reagan
Here’s a recorded version of the song I wrote and performed for the last Bushwick Book Club Show, orignal music inpsired by A People’s History of the United States.

My chapters focused mainly on the 1980s, and Ronald Reagan’s presidency, and the rise of corporate America, and obscene amounts of military spending, and the Cold War against the evil Russian empire.

Zombie Reagan
Looks a lot like regular ReaganNancy says that my military is the biggest she’s ever seen

Shooting lasers from outer space now I could go for that
But how was I to know that the Star Wars program
Would be a stupid piece of crap
Originally I had a very hilarious Yakov Smirnoff joke in the bridge
“In mother Russia, Zombie Brains eat you!”
But before I performed the song at the show I conducted a very short “Do you know who Yakov Smirnoff is?” survey with a small sample of artists and guests. Based on the results of the survey, which from my perspective were quite dissapointing, I decided it would be best if I cut the line. I am now regretting that choice. If only I had a time machine…
