List of songs about Ronald Reagan

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of songs about former President of the United States Ronald Reagan. During the 1980s, many songs were written about Reagan, most of which reflected a negative view of him or his policies. The majority of these songs were written by hardcore punk bands, though artists from other genres also wrote some songs about Reagan. The band Reagan Youth even used their name to attack Reagan, alluding to the Hitler Youth. After his presidency, Reagan was mentioned in a few other songs by later bands, such as Rage Against the Machine and NOFX, though less so than during the 1980s.
