I fear this is not as hypnotic as the song about Eckankar, but... yeah, this is totally going into my iTunes rotation!

Was it someone in the 20th century, wearing a wig?

As a Canadian, my knowledge is presidents before WWII is more or less:

FDR.
The boring guy.
Maybe Woodrow Wilson?
The really fat one.
Ted E. Ruxpin (sic).
A bunch of men with mutton-chop whiskers.
Abraham Lincoln.
A bunch of men with very high collars.
George Washington.
