This Is Terrible: Whenever I Hear The Name Of The Former Polish Prime Minister I Think Of Stevie Nicks

Donald Tusk (also former President of the European Council) was in the news for his response to the latest Polish estimate of damages owed due to the German invasion, occupation, destruction and mass murder that began September 1, 1939:

...Donald Tusk, leader of Poland's biggest opposition party, Civic Platform, said on Thursday that Kaczynski's announcement was "not about reparations".

And Ms Nicks?

She has some sweet baton skillz

Recording the tune, June 4, 1979



1979 was a major transition year, on many levels. Lots of weird stuff going on.

Back to the song, in 2016 we posted "European Council's Tusk Quotes Animal Farm to Slap Down Germany und Mutti"

With this outro:

The Poles were tickled when they found out that Frau Merkel's grandfather was a Kazmierczak but now they're worried she might be suffering from the very Germanic Alzheimer's.

Shifting gears, I've always thought Poland's Donald should order the song played when he enters a room or, now, when he's discussing refugees:

Why don't you ask him if he's going to stay?
Why don't you ask him if he's going away?
Why don't you tell me what's going on?
Why don't you tell me who's on the phone?
Why don't you ask him what's going on?
Why don't you ask him who's the latest on his throne?
Don't say that you love me!
Just tell me that you want me!
Tusk! Tusk! Tusk! Tusk!
Tusk! Tusk! Tusk! Tusk!
Tusk! Tusk! Tusk! Tusk!
Tusk! Tusk! Tusk! Tusk!
Tusk!
