Plants vs Zombies 2 game has a song by Caspar Babypants (aka Chris Ballew from the Presidents of the USA) called “Zombie Time”. Song can be heard from the “credits” menu (settings).
Plant vs Zombies 2 video game is iOS only release. No love for the PC or Android or Windows Phone this time. Thanks to Youtube uploader, we non-iOS owners can enjoy this song. š
The Presidents are back! They are recording new songs at the Jupiter Studios in Seattle, WA! That’s not all. Subset has been resurrected from the ashes, and the long wait (13 years!) will be be over soon. According to Sir Mix-A-Lot twitter messages, they are working with a new material? Or just re-recording the tracks they have. (see the picture above)

Addicted To The Fame (2000)
Subset = Sir Mix-A-Lot + The Presidents of the USA. This track (Addicted To The Fame) was given away for free back in 2000 by Musicblitz (webmasters were asked to share this). 13 years later there is still no official Subset release. Only rare 12″ promo vinyl called Jupiter (Presidents) / Addicted To The Fame (Subset)… (try Ebay)

The Presidents Of The United States Of America ā āFeather Plucknā (Unplugged At Music Feeds Studio):
“The Presidents Of The United States Of America took time out from their recent Australian tour to waltz their way into the Music Feeds Studios and serenade us with some acoustic versions of their biggest tracks.
In this video, Chris and Andrew do a sassy take on their hit Feather Pluckn, complete with a intro filled with rubber-faced expressions and a sweet-ass sign of the horns just before the minute mark.
It that wasn’t cool enough, just wait for the ending — after a big build-up, we get an exquisite, tiny harmonic courtesy of Chris, who brazenly asks, “You got it?” Yeah, Chris. We got it.”
