For Presidents Day, Part III: Potent POTUSes

A further update on our list of songs that mention U.S. Presidents. Al Stewart continues to prove that he is the Doris Kearns Goodwin of songwriters--more POTUS mentions in more songs than anyone else. And Loudon Wainwright III has a song about Presidents Day itself.

Complete list tomorrow.

Presidents Day by Loudon Wainwright III. "George was the first one--Abe was the best," Loudon sings, but he expresses some regret that "there's been more than one George, I'm sorry to say."

Post World War Two Blues by Al Stewart. "Uncle Ike was our American pal/Nobody talked about the Suez Canal..."

Ballad of Ronald Reagan by the Austin Lounge Lizards. "They called him Ronald--Ronald Reagan..."

Sympathy For The Devil by the Rolling Stones. "I shouted out/Who killed the Kennedys..."

Obama by Ridi. Because, you know, it's about Obama.

On To Victory Mr. Roosevelt by Loudon Wainwright III. Mostly about FDR, but the last couple of stanzas are about Obama.

League of Notions by Al Stewart."Woodrow Wilson waves his fourteen points around..."

It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding) by Bob Dylan. "Even the President of the United States has to stand naked..." Generic, but we'll take it.

Dear Mr. President by Pink. The President in question is not identified by name, but this is clearly addressed to George W. Bush.

"Lindy Comes to Town" by Al Stewart. "Mr. Coolidge he will say, it's a public holiday..."
