“President Gas” was the opening song off of the P-Furs third studio album, FOREVER NOW (produced by Todd Rundgren). The album was recorded in 1982, and released in September of that year. Written specifically with Ronald Reagan in mind (“He comes in from the left sometimes / He comes in from the right / It’s so heavily advertised that he wants you and I / It’s a real cowboy set, electric company / Every day is happy days / It’s hell without the sin…”), “President Gas” compliments its smart lyrics with the ballsy use of a cello (courtesy of Ann Sheldon). thepsychedelicfurs.com
