Iran's Ayatolah; 2) 1990 audio version, lyrics document Sadaam's invasion of Kuwait & US response; and 3) 2003 audio, lyrics document the US invasion of Iraq & toppling of Sadaam.
The first 2 versions, '88 & '90 were played by Doctor Demento on his show a few times.
This is the 3rd version. The first in video is on youtube and
downloadable here, as well. The 2nd
version, audio, is also available
here on this podcast by searching on the title.
Loose Bruce Kerr is a songwriter and parodist and is an irregular feature on the Dr. Demento Show. Bruce took 20 years off from his budding law career to write, record & perform his songs in a solo act, duo with Steve Hoeft, also of Waukesha, Wisconsin, as well as in a band, Spud City in New England in the late 1970's with Steve, Tyke Ten Eycke and Mickey Marien.
After resuming his law career after the 20 year stint, Bruce started over and worked his way up to Assistant General Counsel at Sun Microsystems, and finally Deal Manager at Oracle. He is now retired but continues to write, record, and post his new original and parody songs & videos to youtube, this podcast, and other social media platforms.
