Presidents of the USA songs for RB News

Xbox 360 News by Robert Purchese

23 October, 2008

Topically, Harmonix and MTV will add a trio of songs by The Presidents of the United States of America to Rock Band on 4th November.

"Dune Buggy", "Ladybug" and "Feather Pluck'n" are the tracks in question. No price is mentioned, but the usual tag of 160 MS Points (GBP 1.36 / EUR 1.92) each, or 440 MS Points (GBP 3.74 / EUR 5.28) as a bundle is expected.

Remember, Rock Band DLC works in both Rock Band 1 and Rock Band 2. The latter, of course, is only available in the US at the moment.

The Presidents of the United States of America are not real political leaders, silly, but a quirky rock band known best around here for the songs "Peaches" and "Lump". The latter is included in Rock Band 2 and its upcoming competitor, Guitar Hero World Tour.

In a game about Rock Bands they should really have "We're not going to make it", it's a classic.

Peaches was absolutely amazing! If I remember some of the lyrics correctly: "Peaches come in a can! They were put there by a man! In a factory down toooooown" If that song goes on Rock Band I'm all over it

No Peaches = no sale

Peaches come in a can,
they were put there by a man,
In a factory downtown.

Best lyrics ever!!

EDIT: Beat to it already

"Lump" does not appear in GHWT. There are no Presidents of the United States songs in GHWT (unfortunately).

Peaches is awesome, more DLC like that for either game would be most welcome. They also do a really great cover of "Video Killed the Radio Star".

I'd have quite liked to see Mach 5 or Volcano, but these will be great fun too.

From the 2nd PotUSA album, the opening track, Ladies & Gentlemen part 1, should open at least one of these games:

Good evening ladies and gentlemen, what is your desire?
Hello ladies and gentlemen... explosions and fire
Good evening ladies and gentlemen, are you prepared to rock?
Hello ladies and gentlemen... let's rock!
Do you have any idea what it takes to rock?
Every night, every day, every night
Plug us in and watch us pump out sound
Comin' to you so you don't have to leave town
This is the show... We are the band
Sometimes it just takes you by the hand
