Eerily Prescient Recordings of the Pre-Trump Era (An Occasional Series): Special "Sorry I Couldn't Find a Surf Version of the Horst Wessel Song" Edition

From 1995 and their utterly fab album The Amazing Colossal Band, please enjoy (my fave Finnish group of all time) Laika and the Cosmonauts and their sinister ode to "The Man From H.U.A.C."

I was gonna say I wore that whole album out when I first got it, but of course you can't wear out CDs. Anyway, you know what I mean.

In any case, I expect President Napoleon Bonapartheid (heh) to bring the House UnAmerican Activities Committe back from the dustbin of history at any moment now, so the song just seemed appropriate.

That Laika and the Cosmonauts tune is just how surf music should be.

If you want a long list of nicknames for Trump, dial up Jimmy Kimmel's monologue on Trump's last birthday (June 14, 2024). Trump turned 78 that day so Jimmy ran through 78 of them :-)

Actually, the nickname is for Musk. 😎
