It escaped me at the time, but I just yesterday realized that the song Itzak Perlman and Yo Yo Ma performed at Obama's inauguration, Will The Circle Be Unbroken, is all about the narrator's grief over burying his mother; Obama's grandmother had passed away just hours before election day and I wonder if the selection of such a bittersweet song wasn't meant to enlarge upon both the personal and public aspect of day. In any case, whatever else one could say about Obama he's a terrific campaigner and music is definitely a place where he and his supporters like to come together.

"In the Year 2525" by Zager and Evans
Widely considered to be the worst song to ever reach the top of the charts.
Thoroughly unlistenable litany of fear, uncertainty, and doubt.
Draw your own conclusions.

"Dirty Water" by Buddy and Julie Miller:
Well I don't need you hanging round my door
Trying to drag me back down to the shore
And I ain't gonna drink your dirty water no more
Well I got wet from my head down to my legs
And I drank dirty water down to the dregs
But I won't do it again I don't care who begs
Dirty water now what's that for
Dirty water I ain't drinking no more
You've got a lie underneath your tongue where it can't be seen
And you wanna put the truth on a guillotine
But you might as well put out a fire with gasoline
Well you can serve up dirty water from a golden cup
You can try to lock up the truth but the door won't shut
Cause the truth just comes out like blood from a cut
Well it sparkles and it shines but it's just a trick
So you wash it down with a kiss just to get a kick
Well that dirty water is about to make me sick
