Bonzo Goes To Washington – Burning The Ground: DjPaulT's 80's and 90's Remixes

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1984

“5 Minutes” is a 1984 single by music act Bonzo Goes To Washington which was a collaboration of musical brainchild P Funkster Bootsy Collins and Talking Heads member Jerry Harrison. The track’s lyrics are credited to “The Gipper,” a reference to Ronald Reagan’s role in “Knute Rockne, All American”. This famed track is based upon a sample of President Reagan’s actual joke pronouncement that he’d “outlaw Russia forever… we begin bombing in five minutes.”
