Donald Fagen of Steely Dan recommends that the Trump band play the hilarious smear song “Man in Tin Foil Hat” (listen)

This week, the RNC band Sixwire, which played for Donald Trump, played songs by Steely Dan over and over again. One of them was “Reeling in the Years.”

But Donald Fagen has a better idea for the band. Why not play the song he and Todd Rundgren wrote and recorded seven years ago? It’s called “The Man in the Tin Foil” hat. In a jazz arrangement, the song savages Trump in scathing terms. (See below.)

Wouldn’t it be great if The Man in the Tin foil Hat was at the top of iTunes? Let’s start here!

… He comes down the escalator
With a girl from the east of here
He wants to make the country bigger
We have nothing to fear anymore

… Because the man with the tinfoil hat
Sits on the throne tonight
It somehow feels like a coup
But it will be great, tremendous, amazing and all that

… Because the man with the tinfoil hat
Tweet like a teenager
He puts Pluto in Plutocrat
It will be a huge, huge, huge new world

… He has no time for losers
If they do not do what he commands
He writes checks to his accusers
With these tiny little hands

… Because the man with the tinfoil hat
Sits on the throne tonight
It somehow feels like a coup
But it will be a huge, huge, huge new world

… Because the man with the tinfoil hat
Will drain the swamp tonight
And fill it with alternative facts
It will be great, tremendous, amazing and all that

… Because the man with the tinfoil hat
Tweet like a teenager
He puts Pluto in Plutocrat
It will be a huge, huge, huge new world

… Because the man with the tinfoil hat
Sits on the throne tonight
It somehow feels like a coup
It will be great, tremendous, amazing and all that
