At the height of The Watergate Scandal, beleaguered United States President Richard Nixon tells the Associated Press, "People have got to know whether or not their president is a crook. Well, I'm not a crook". The final phrase of Nixon's monstrous lie will provide the inspiration for numerous sample-based dance music tracks by DJ Gurr, The Tricky Dicks, Glaciers Dubstep and others. Nixon's duplicity has also been the subject of numerous songs including You Haven't Done Nothin' by Stevie Wonder, Tricky Dicky by Country Joe McDonald, Postcards From Richard Nixon by Elton John, and The Love of Richard Nixon by The Manic Street Preachers.
