Soundtrack for a Lame-Duck Session: Our picks

by Julia Nutter

We didn't intend to make a contest out of Senator Mark Udall's lame-duck Senate playlist project. But afterdozens of brilliant pitches from you, we just had to pick a top three. We tried to find a few of the most inspirational, yet realistic choices. Better to lessen the tensions, rather than inflame them!
Congress, we hope you're listening.
"You Can't Always Get What You Want", by the Rolling Stones

"Weapon of Choice", by Fatboy Slim (Really, only for the energizing tune and not the title! Wouldn't this make a great dance breakdown in the Senate hallway?)

Although I really think takemeaway's suggestion of the GOP theme song as "Under My Thumb" by the Rolling Stones deserves an honorable mention. As well as robibigh's "It's My Party (And I'll Cry If I Want To)
