From the April 10th sheet in my America: The Book by The Daily Show daily calendar Lady got me...
Ten Songs Your Campaign Can't Do Without
"Simply the Best" Tina Turner
"Right Now" Van Halen
"Don't Stop (Thinking About Tomorrow)" Fleetwood Mac
"Born in the USA" Bruce Springsteen
"Proud to Be an American" Lee Greenwood (Republican)
"Free to Be You and Me" Marlo Thomas (Democrat)
"Takin' Care of Business" Bachman-Turner Overdrive
"Small Town" John Cougar Mellencamp
"Sweet Home Alabama" Lynyrd Skynyrd (Alabama only)
"The End" The Doors (concession night only)
It's so true, you always hear the same songs year after year after year.
A couple of other favorite campaign songs:
"The Times They Are a-Changin" Bob Dylan
"Beautiful Day" U2 (West Wing used it for Santos' victory speech)
