I always wondered how Johnny Ramon (another dead right wing icon) felt about this one.
Edit: Originally the song was deemed simply “Bonzo Goes To Bitburg,” but guitarist Johnny Ramone refused the title because of his strict conservative approach and full support of Reagan. The title was changed to “My Brain Is Hanging Upside Down” with “Bonzo Goes To Bitburg” appearing in parenthesis. Regardless of the change, the song is simply known as “Bonzo.”
¡apesta!-
It's obviously not a complementary song to Reagan. If Johnny objected to it enough to change the title, I'd have thought he'd object more to actually performing it.
[Edit after looking it up:
Apparently he refused to play it once he later found out what it was about:
