What would you pick for your campaign song?

It’s election time, which means it’s time for candidates to start getting in trouble with musicians for using their songs at campaign events.
This week, it was Donald Trump’s turn, as the presidential candidate’s campaign team sparred with Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler over Trump’s use of the band’s 1973 song “Dream On.” Trump’s campaign said that they’d received a public performance license from the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers, while Tyler’s attorney said that the Trump campaign’s use of the song falsely implied that the singer endorsed Trump politically.
Assuming you could get the performance rights to whatever song you chose (and the blessing of songwriter), what music would you choose to represent yourself in a campaign?

Read the answer to last week’s question: Do you connect with strangers on LinkedIn?
Featured answer:
Posted by American of African Descent: “No, but I look up strangers on LinkedIn. When opposing counsel first contacts me, I look them up to see where they went to school and whether we have any friends in common. Why? Because I want to find out about them as a person; if possible, I want to find ways to build rapport. Before I interview or depose a witness, I look at their LinkedIn profile for the same reasons.”
