Presidential candidates have used thematic songs to great effect in recent decades.
When Elizabeth Warren took the stage to launch her presidential run to the strains of Dolly Parton's"9 to 5," the song seemed to sum up the spirit of a candidacy built on giving workers a fairer shake.
"We did not approve the request, and we do not approve requests like this of political nature," Parton's manager, Danny Nozell, told The Associated Press by email when asked about the Massachusetts senator's use of"9 to 5." President Donald Trump has faced his own rejection from popular artists after taking office, most recently from Rihanna. She tweeted in November that"not for much longer" would her music be permitted to play at Trump rallies, and soon after her representatives reportedly sent their own cease-and-desist request.
When campaign songs catch on, the relationship between candidates and their favorite tunes can prove fruitful. It's still early in the 2020 Democratic primary, giving candidates plenty of time to develop their campaign playlists. But the early choices by Warren and Harris indicate that this year's hopefuls are aware of the keen importance of music in building a candidate's public persona.Harris' use of"My Shot" isn't even her first public selection of a favorite tune.
