So now we can add Nixon and Reagan!

After deep research (OK - ten minutes on Google), the only songs I could find about a US President, were all about either President Kennedy or President Nixon,

Apart from "PT109" and "Abraham Martin & John", there is Brian Wilson's "Warmth Of The Sun", "He was a Friend of Mine," by the Byrds, "President Kennedy" by Ry Cooder, "In The Summer Of His Years" by Connie Francis, "The Day John Kennedy Died" by Lou Reed, "What The World Needs Now Is Love"/"Abraham, Martin & John" by Tom Clay, "Foreign Policy" by The Buckinghams (it was the flip side of "Susan") and I have at last remembered the Billy Joel song which mentioned Kennedy - it was called "We Didn't Start The Fire".

Having found these ofr JFK, I typed "Nixon In Song" into Google, and came up with a site which listed all the following songs - most of which I have never heard.

"Campaigner"-Neil Young
"1974"-Robyn Hitchcock
"Bad Luck" -Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes
"Fish Ain't Bitin"-Lamont Dozier
"Give Me Some Truth"- John Lennon
"Here's to the State of Richard Nixon"-Phil Ochs
"If I Had A Friend Like Rosemary Woods"-Bill Horwitz
"Let It Fall Down"-James Taylor
"Line 'Em Up"-James Taylor
"Mexico"-The Jefferson Airplane
"Moody Richard(The Innocent Bystander)"-Dan Hicks & His Hot Licks
"Nixon's the One"-Mono Puff
"Nixon's the One"-Victor Caesar("68 Campaign Song)
"Nixon In China"(Opera)-John Adams
"Ohio"-Crosby,Stills, Nash & Young
"Pretzel Logic"-Steely Dan
"Richard Nixon"-Christmas
"Richard Nixon"-Ultra Prophets of Thee Psykick Revolution
"She Smiles Like Richard Nixon"- Bad Examples
"Sweet Home Alabama"-Lynyrd Skynyrd
"The '68 Nixon"(This Year's Model)-The Chad Mitchell Trio
"Tricia Tell Your Daddy" - Jay & The Americans
"Tricky Dicky"-Country Joe McDonald
"Trust Me"-The Borg
"Watergate Blues"-Howlin' Wolf"
"Watergate Blues"-Gil Scott-Heron
"The Watergate Story"-Dan Murphy
"You Don't Have Nixon..."-Reprise Records(1966?)
"Young Americans"-David Bowie

So now that Scott has added Reagan - the search continues.

But where is John now that I need him most?

A song about Teddy Roosevelt?

"Teddy Bear's Picnic" perhaps?
