Story behind the song
When Ronald Reagan was president, his anti-environmental Secretary of the Interior, James G. Watt, objected to plans that were being made to have the Beach Boys play at the White House. JG objected, saying the Beach Boys would draw the wrong element, so.......
Lyrics
It seems like only yesterday When Mr. James Watts had to have his say He didn’t want the Beach Boys on the White House lawn, So he got Wayne Newton to sing his song He knew just what to do, once he caught the scent of the “wrong element.” The more things changed the more they stayed the same Now W only has himself to blame He stayed the course into a civil war We could never win what he was fighting for He didn’t know what to do, so he crawled into a tent with the wrong element Republicans with God on their side Too long have made the democrats hide But they couldn’t find Osama in Iraqi land They just got stuck in bloody sand They didn’t know what to do, they surely lost the scent of the wrong element It took six years of their lies and tricks But we threw the bums out in 2006 They got thumped, and Rummy’s finally gone Join with us as we sing this song: We learned just what to do, we finally caught the scent of the wrong element.
