This mix from last year was thrown together during the historical election of President Obama. So there is his campaign song, Stevie Wonder's "Signed, Sealed, Delivered, I'm Yours" as well as a cover by Reuben Wilson.
And there are a number of other songs on here that fall under this theme: Nina Simone's live cover of The Beatles' "Revolution", the long version of Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes' "Wake Up Everybody", Lee Mitchell's soul obscurity "The Economy", Nas and Jay-Z on the sly "Black Republican", Toddy Snider and Patty Griffin's cover of Creedence Clearwater Revival's "Fortunate Son", Sweetafton23's cover of Randy Newman's "Political Science" and a live version of "Peace Train" by Cat Stevens.
On here twice is Daniel Johnston's heartfelt "True Love Will Find You In The End": both the original and a cover by Beck.
The rest: INI fetauring Pete Rock on the hypnotic "Fakin' Jaz", Guy Lombardo's chipper "Enjoy Yourself (It's Later Than You Think)", Oh No's lush "Smile A Lil' Bit" with Posdnuos from De La Soul, George Formby And His Ukelele on the suggestive "With A Little Ukelele In My Hand", Kool G Rap with the explicit "Talk Like Sex", Rod Stewart's hopeful "Young Turks", Yvonne & Lisa's reggae cover of The Carpenters' "Close To You", O.V. Wright's anguished "Since You Left These Arms Of Mine" and the mournful "No Use In Crying" by The Rolling Stones.
