Mitt Romney Has a Spotify Campaign Playlist, Too

Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney speaks at a town hall meeting in Youngstown, Ohio, March 5, 2012.  Romney gained momentum on the eve of Super Tuesday as he sought to steal a march on rival Rick Santorum in the Republican presidential race by snatching a crucial victory in Ohio. Voters in 10 states across America will have their say on Tuesday in a potentially pivotal day in the see-saw contest to see who will take on President Barack Obama, a Democrat, in the November 6 general election.

And it's all coke rap! Nope, not at all. The official Romney playlist features a wide range of music, all the way from stuff that some white people like (Toby Keith), to stuff that all white people like (the Beach Boys). There's also something for the Mormons (the Killers — twice!), something for the virginity-challenged ("Oh What a Night"), something to lure in the Ron Paul potheads (Willie Nelson) and a couple things, possibly, that speak to Romney's current state of mind ("Desperado," "I Am a Man of Constant Sorrow").

"I Am a Man of Constant Sorrow" by the Soggy Bottom Boys
"Read My Mind" by the Killers
"December, 1963 [Oh What a Night]" by Frankie Valli & the Four Seasons
"Ring of Fire" by Johnny Cash
"Somebody Told Me" by the Killers
"The MTA (The Boston Subway Song)" by the Kingston Trio
"Good Vibrations" by the Beach Boys
"Desperado" by Clint Black

"Only You " by the Commodores

And there you have it, the playlist for your next party, if your next party is a 40th wedding anniversary.
