Yo Abe, Spin Me That Beat Again!

So Blender is a modern day musik magazine who recently interviewed Senator McCain and Senator Obama asking them to state their top ten favorite songs. Here is the outcome:


BARACK OBAMA
1. Ready Or Not - Fugees
2. What's Going On? - Marvin Gaye
3. I'm On Fire - Bruce Springsteen
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 Make It 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



Granted we all subconsciously knew that McCain wouldn't like anything past 1978 but I think everyone here is surprised by not only one, but TWO ABBA SONGS! Also, how conceited must Obama be to pick a song where he himself gives a speech in. I'm not going to say one way or another who I'm going to vote for (McCain) but I will say that each list has its own quirks and substantial amount of predictability. C'est la vie.
