Sinatra's Still Cool With the Old Guys and the Kids, Jack !!!
Time for a poll on the candidates that means absolutely nothing! These are the ones that we love, like what's your favorite beer, or boxers or briefs. I believed Hillary went freestyle, which explains all the dogs on the campaign trail going crazy...
What poll was it? How about your favorite songs? Yep, I told you it was useless, but even these questions end up giving you some interesting items. So, without further adieu, here are the candidates favorite tunes...
BARACK OBAMA
1. Ready or Not Fugees
2. What's Going On Marvin Gaye
3. I'm On Fire Bruce Spingsteen
4. Gimme Shelter Rolling Stones
5. Sinnerman Nina Simone
6. Touch the Sky Kanye West
7. You'd Be So Easy to Love Frank Sinatra
8. Think Aretha Franklin
9. City of Blinding Lights U2
10. Yes We Can will.i.am
JOHN McCAIN
1. Dancing Queen ABBA
2. Blue Bayou Roy Orbison
3. Take a Chance On Me ABBA
4. If We MakeIt Through December Merle Haggard
5. As Time Goes By Dooley Wilson
6. Good Vibrations The Beach Boys
7. What A Wonderful World Louis Armstrong
8. I've Got You Under My Skin Frank Sinatra
9. Sweet Caroline Neil Diamond
10. Smoke Gets In Your Eyes The Platters
Now the first thing I noticed is that Frank Sinatra was on both lists. Yeah, Frank transcends time and the ages. Who hasn't gone through an Old Blue Eyes phase? It usually coincides with smoking cigars, drinking martinis, and Swing Dancing - all at the same time. Secondly, what's with McCain and ABBA? My guess is that after 7 years in an NVA prison, ABBA was the first song on the radio after he got out. Louis Armstrong was natural. After all, it was played on 'Good Morning, Vietnam'.....
Now, is it just me, or is Obama's list a bit too perfect? A little classic rock here, some Motown there, a dash of Hip-Hop, and a sprinkle of Jazz. Hey, he forgot the speed metal. WHAT, NO PANTERA ???!!! My favorite is the will I am song written about Obama made Number 10. And they say that Obama isn't arrogant.... maybe just a bit.
How this one didn't make either list is beyond me........
