No no no no no no no no. I'm talking about a one-off single called "Hard Times," which came out in 1992 on IRS Records; it consisted of George Bush Sr. soundbites cut-and-pasted Chris Morris-style, so the president was saying things like "Surely, Congress doing drugs!" and "I saw Elvis!" over a lite-funk backing. It was very much a silly novelty song, and in a tightly-structured pop-song format—verse, chorus, verse, backup singers and all—rather than a drum&bass / ambient thing.
The single was credited to "Fresh Bush and the Invisible Man." I've never been able to find out who the producer was; the style reminded me of the work of Danny Schechter the News Dissector, who started in Boston radio in the mid-1970s and now heads up the independent media production firm Globalvision and the public interest site MediaChannel.org, but the song really didn't have much more on its mind than big laffs. |
