Lyrics:
Miss November Tuesday
Bend your rubber rules
Take your time, but don't take
Off your high heeled shoes
She's in demand at dinner time (she's in demand)
She's on the factory wall (she's up on the factory wall)
And when the gentlemen retire (when they retire)
Guess who's in control?
She blew your money
On taking a cruise
(If that isn't funny)
Well, watch out teacher
Oo, oo
When the chamber's empty
She said oo, oo
Meet El Presidente
Dressed in flimsy clothing
Use your lipstick line
To colour fear and loathing
With a pink disguise
You've never refused when she lies back
Put a stripe on the Union and a star on the Jack
She's on the case at dinner time (at dinner time)
She's on the evening news (seen her on the evening news)
And if you dare step out of line (step out of line)
You're going to be abused
You may not like it
You may not be scared
But Hell has no fury like a
Young girl's ego
Oo, oo
When the chamber's empty
She said oo, oo
Meet El Presidente
(Oo, oo)
(Doo-doo, doo)
(Oo, oo)
(Doo-doo, doo)
(Oo, oo)
(Doo-doo, doo)
You might adopt an attitude (attitude)
Look on the moral side (looking on the moral side)
But if police are after you (after you)
Where's the best place to hide?
For this production
They gave her a gun
Ain't no director, so
Watch out actors
Oo, oo
When the chamber's empty
She said oo, oo
Meet El Presidente
Oo, oo
When the chamber's empty
She said oo, oo
Meet El Presidente
She said oo, oo
Meet El Presidente
She said oo, oo
Meet El Presidente

Notorious is a legit masterpiece. Not one bad song on it and a style/sound cohesiveness that keeps you listening on a loop. Now that s music!
Notorious is an incredible album from start to finish. Every song is awesome! But then again it is DD.
"Meet El Presidente" is definitely the best uptempo tune of the album~ John's funky bassline is so friggin' cool~ "Notorious" is second best.
this song and mv are SOOOO underrated despite it being a single on the album. i miss andy and especially roger in this era but still, ugh. this is perfection.

John's not always happy looking. Sometimes in interviews he seems annoyed, but of course performing you're expected to smile, and his smile is horribly powerful, indeed.
@erinfraise6154

He was still battling drugs and alcohol in this era so it's hard to tell where the smile comes from! LOL But nevertheless he does have an absolutely KILLER smile, and he is BY FAR the best bass man of his generation. Criminally underrated, though that is thankfully starting to change.
I love their look from this era.

Knowing this song got me a job when I needed it in the worse way, the guy doing the interviewing was singing this song under his breath while looking over the resume I finished the line he stopped at "meet El Presidente " He looked up and said" you know the Lads?" and I said yes love them saw them in concert twice he told me "you got the job we need someone that's going to fit in around here not like the last guy. I worked there until I finished school great job and good friends still.

This is one of the best songs on Notorious.
A criminally underrated song which never got the chart success it deserved.
I think all the bad comments are completely wrong. Meet El P. is a great song with a lot of power and fun, just like the whole Notorious album.
One of their best songs. I love notorious album. Cant get enough of listening to it.
Ancora attualissima per le mie orecchie, coinvolgente! Woooow!

Thanks to Top of the Pops 1987 on BBC4 tonight for bringing this to my attention. I don't even remember it from the time. It's fantastic! Such a clever little boogie-woogie bassline!
I'll say it once and i'll say it again Duran Duran's funk soul period was there best underrated period

My most favourite album by the band ('Notorious'). I have an extensive collection of music (including over 10,000 CD's alone), and believe it or not... this is also the ONLY album in my collection that I've played in excess of 5x in a single day. From start to finish, this album just does it for me.

Actually no, The Latin Rascals had nothing to do with this remix. They remixed (actually re-edited) the track Notorious. The remix for Meet El Presidente was done by Mark S Berry with help from Carlos Berrios and Omar Santana. The percussion was added to the original recording. Percussion was played by Bashiri Johnson.
