I love it!

This makes me want to start a thread with some outrageously specific request and see what albums people can find: "I need songs about dolphins and porpoises".

Less extreme than dolphin themed (!), election-themed music? Obvious one is I Swung The Election - Teagarden, and also Vote For Mr Rhythm - Ella or Nikki Yanovsky. That's all I got.
