Obama’s tastes run “deeper and wider”

Saturday, 15 August 2015, 10:00 BFH Uncategorized 38

I think we can do better than this list. What’s your top ten music list? And do you have a”day” list versus a “night” list?

Newser-

The White House joined Spotify, and it says Obama came up with two separate summer playlists, one for the day and one for the night. Billboard is fairly impressed. “His tastes run deeper and wider than even previous glimpses into his iPod have hinted.” Here are the first 10 on his daytime list, via the White House blog:

  1. Ain’t Too Proud to Beg – The Temptations
  2. Live It Up – Isley Brothers
  3. Memories Live – Talib Kweli & Hi Tek
  4. Tombstone Blues – Bob Dylan
  5. So Much Trouble in the World – Bob Marley
  6. Paradise – Coldplay
  7. Tengo Un Trato (Remix) – Mala Rodriguez
  8. Wang Dang Doodle – Howlin Wolf
  9. Another Star – Stevie Wonder
  10. Hot Fun in the Summertime – Sly & the Family Stone

And the first 10 on his nighttime list:

  1. My Favorite Things – John Coltrane
  2. Superpower (feat. Frank Ocean) – Beyoncé
  3. Moondance – Van Morrison
  4. Is Your Love Big Enough? – Lianne La Havas
  5. How Can You Mend a Broken Heart – Al Green
  6. Red & White & Blue & Gold – Aoife O’Donovan
  7. Nothing Even Matters – Lauryn Hill
  8. The Best Is Yet to Come – Frank Sinatra
  9. You Don’t Know Me – Ray Charles
  10. I Found My Everything – Mary J Blige

See the full list of 20 for each.

  4. Glen Campbell for mowing the grass. CCR for doing the trimming.

    Beegie Adair in the car. Sometimes sing along with traditional Broadway Musicials.

    Tchaikovsky, Mahler, and Wagner for sitting on the deck, drinking The Famous Grouse Scotch, smoking a cigar and binge-reading all of the Harry Bosch books.

    That makes my day.

  8. The world’s burning down but somebody thought (what was once) the President of the free world has a good tune list? A real president wouldn’t barely have time to use the bathroom, but this moron sits around watching ESPN, golfing or thinking up new ways to put us further in debt.

  11. I smell BULLSHIT!

    Obola’s list would be more towards:

    “Hard and Fast From Behind!”
    “Deep Throat”
    “Reggie’s Squeal”
    “Smell Like a Man, Love Like a Woman”
    “Love Hurts”
    “Make it Bleed”
    “Stretch That Starfish”
    “Fistin the Night Away”
    “If Barry ain’t Gaggin, You ain’t Waggin”
    “A Hard Man is Good to Find”
    “Requiem For The Moose”

  13. ‘Liar’ ~ Three Dog Night
    ‘The Thrill Is Gone’ ~ BB King
    ‘Hold Me Closer, Tiny Dancer’ ~ Elton John
    ‘Valerie’ ~ The Monkees
    ‘I Want to Ride My Bicycle’ ~ Queen
    ‘The Bunny Hop’ ~ Ray Anthony (for the way he hops down Air Force One steps)
    ‘It’s Raining Men, Hallelujah’ ~ The Weather Girls
    ‘What’s That Smell?’ ~ Lynyrd Skynyrd (in honor of his ‘wife’)
    ‘Poor, Poor Pitiful Me’ ~ Warren Zevon
    ‘I Am The Greatest’ ~ R Kelly

    ….& finally….
    ‘L’Internationale’ ~ Communist Anthem

  19. On the off chance you were asking for MY list:

    The Girls on Fox News Austin Cunningham
    My Baby Loves Barbecue Chris Cassone & Friends
    Country My Ass Dale Watson
    Jimmy Buffett Don’t Live In Key West David Allan Coe
    Girl On the Billboard Del Reeves
    Easy Loving Freddie Hart
    Finally Friday George Jones
    Ya Gotta Quit Kickin’ My Dog Around Gid Tanner & The Skillet Lickers
    (I Heard That) Lonesome Whistle Hank Williams
    Fools Jim Ed Brown & Helen Cornelius
    Gulf Coast of Florida John R. Butler
    Barstool Mountain Johnny Paycheck
    I’m a White Boy Merle Haggard
    Dixie Mississippi Rebel Band
    Bury Me Underneath WalMart Pat Daley
    Don’t Pet The Dog Pinkard & Bowden
    Too Old To Cut The Mustard Red Foley
    You And Me Tammy Wynette
    First Baptist Bar and Grill Tim Wilson
    Ain’t Goin’ Down On Brokeback Mountain Willie Nelson

  20. Wrong. This is 100% unadulterated BULLSHIT because Gay Barry doesn’t listen to music. He’s a MUZLOID!

    This is for the edification of the LoFos so they will think Gay Barry is one of them. This dispshit is told these things are to be done in his name. In reality, all he wants is “sex” with Reggie Love and the total destruction of America.

  27. Oh, if only that most beautiful Muslim call to prayer were on Spotify, Odumbo might feel mollified and stop torturing us.

    He must not have discovered Wagner yet either. Die Walküre (Ride of the Valkyrie) certainly inspired another of the great world leaders.

    Btw, Hitler loved tequila too, but had to give it up….it made him mean.

  32. Boobie, how far back do you have to go to remember Gid Tanner and The Skillet Lickers? I’ve heard of them just because of that name. If that doesn’t qualify for old timey blue grass music I don’t know what else could. I might have actually heard some of that listening to old bluegrass music on XM sometime.

  33. I see you also include Ain’t Going Down On Brokeback Mountain by Willie Nelson. I love that song and video, it made me laugh hysterically the first time I heard it and saw the video. Can’t think of a more inappropriate or appropriate song for barry. Good one!

  37. One of my other favorites is Jimmy Driftwood. A lot of his songs are famous like Tennessee Stud, The Battle of New Orleans etc,, he had a very distinctive style and voice and he could play a guitar like nobody’s business. He was also a history teacher who used his music to teach about American history. His music is hard to get and find but I know it’s available, I believe on Amazon. Every once in a while Ranger Doug of Riders in the Sky fame will play some of his music on Ranger Doug’s cowboy corral on XM.

  38. Interesting that he would have “Tombstone Blues” by Bob Dylan on his list. I missed that the other day. Check out some of the lyrics:

    Well, John the Baptist after torturing a thief
    Looks up at his hero the Commander-in-Chief
    Saying, “Tell me great hero, but please make it brief
    Is there a hole for me to get sick in?”

    The Commander-in-Chief answers him while chasing a fly
    Saying, “Death to all those who would whimper and cry”
    And dropping a barbell he points to the sky
    Saying, “The sun’s not yellow it’s chicken”

    (bolding mine)

    There’s more …
