I like the Obama idea of silence instead of muzak. But if he were to
start to use "Bright Future in Sales" as his entrance theme, my vote
would be locked-in.
If I were running for something, I think I would use "How I Spent My
Summer" by Cat Mother & The All-Night Newsboys as produced by Jimi
Hendrix (and when will their catalog *ever* be released?)

WASHINGTON (AP) - Everyone needs a soundtrack - even politicians.
The presidential candidates who addressed the Democratic National
Committee's winter meeting Friday got to choose their tunes, and it
was an eclectic mix that reflected personal favorites and
not-so-subtle messages.
Some candidates requested two songs, one that blared as they
approached the stage and another that played as they left the podium.
The selections:
_John Edwards: "This Is Our Country" by John Mellencamp.
_Sen. Chris Dodd of Connecticut: "Get Ready (Cause Here I Come)" by
the Temptations and "Reach Out," also by the Temptations.
_Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York: "Right Here, Right Now," by
Jesus Jones and "Ain't Seen Nothing Yet" by Bachman-Turner Overdrive.
_Rep. Dennis Kucinich of Ohio: "America the Beautiful"
Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois decided against using any music in
keeping with the somber tone he sought to convey. Wesley Clark, who
hasn't indicated whether he will run, entered to Johnny Cash's "I
Won't Back Down."

Sleeping on a planter at the Port Authority
Waiting for my bus to come
Seven scotch-and-sodas at the office party
Now I don't remember where I'm from
I think I had a black wallet
In my back pocket
With a bus ticket
And a picture of my baby inside
And if I make it home alive
I'm gonna get my shit together
'Cause I can't live like this forever
You know I've come too far
And I don't want to fail
I got a new computer
And a bright future in sales
Yeah, yeah
A bright future in sales
Yeah, yeah
Heading for the airport on a misty morning
Gonna catch a flight to Baltimore
Try to kill an hour with a whiskey sour
If there's time I might have just one more
I gotta do some quick reading
For the big meeting
But my head is spinning
And I can't quite open my eyes
As long as I don't have to drive
I'm gonna get my shit together
'Cause I can't live like this forever
You know I've come too far
And I don't want to fail
I got a new computer
And a bright future in sales
Yeah, yeah
A bright future in sales
Yeah, yeah
I had a line on a brand new account
But now I can't seem to find
Where I wrote that number down
I try to focus, I'm staring at the screen
Pretending like I know
What all these little flashing lights mean
I gotta do some quick reading
For the big meeting
But my head is spinning
And I can't quite open my eyes
I gotta get my shit together
'Cause I can't live like this forever
You know I've come too far
And I don't want to fail
I got a new computer
And a bright future in sales
Yeah, yeah
A bright future in sales
Yeah, yeah
