Presidential candidates have used thematic songs to great effect in recent decades.

When Elizabeth Warren took the stage to launch her presidential run to the strains of Dolly Parton's"9 to 5," the song seemed to sum up the spirit of a candidacy built on giving workers a fairer shake.

"We did not approve the request, and we do not approve requests like this of political nature," Parton's manager, Danny Nozell, told The Associated Press by email when asked about the Massachusetts senator's use of"9 to 5." President Donald Trump has faced his own rejection from popular artists after taking office, most recently from Rihanna. She tweeted in November that"not for much longer" would her music be permitted to play at Trump rallies, and soon after her representatives reportedly sent their own cease-and-desist request.

When campaign songs catch on, the relationship between candidates and their favorite tunes can prove fruitful. It's still early in the 2020 Democratic primary, giving candidates plenty of time to develop their campaign playlists. But the early choices by Warren and Harris indicate that this year's hopefuls are aware of the keen importance of music in building a candidate's public persona.Harris' use of"My Shot" isn't even her first public selection of a favorite tune.

She’s a con. A liar. She refused to shake hands w/ Betsy Deviss(I watched it happen) at her questioning for taking the education position. She’s mean. I’m sure Dems will pair up a token woman w/ Biden to try and win the next election. All the women running are far left idiots.

In 2016, we subliminally used 'We Will Rock You', & you still don't know what hit you......

Bang your drum! If it's war, stand strong and true to your cause. If it's peace find others that need your rhythm to stay strong and true. This life is always about the aid of others, and that aid will find it's way back to you in kind. Be strong, be true, and stay that way!

Then here's mine for the millions being slautered in the 'Great American Holocaust' (abortion)

Good point. At the GOP national convention in 2016, NJ Gov Christie walked out to Barbra Streisand’s “Guilty.” At the same convention, the house band played “Into the Coven” as Ben Carson’s walk off music.

I’m not American nor do I even know where America is on the world map, but I’d like to see Presidential age limit reduced to 72 just so that Trump is disqualified automatically and I can see his red face.
