Well, this is it. The big day—you know what to do. I’m going to come out and say it here, right now, on election day, that I, Mark Lore, am endorsing Barack Obama. And if I may, I’d like to suggest some songs that Obama might want to consider for his upcoming inaugural party … and no, it does not include Sheryl Crow’s “A Change Will Do You Good.” “But what if John McCain wins?” you ask. To which I respond, simply: “The Thing That Should Not Be.”

Top 10 songs for Barack Obama’s inauguration
1. “Election Night” - Nas
2. “My Aim Is True” - Elvis Costello
3. “Sign O’ the Times” - Prince
4. “Straight Shooter” - Reigning Sound
5. “Come Together” - The Beatles
6. “Here’s Your Future” - The Thermals
7. “I Got the Feelin’ “ - James Brown
8. “I Believe Barack Obama” - Jonah Matranga
9. “The Humpty Dance” - Digital Underground
10.“The Rising” - Bruce Springsteen

Have other songs in mind? Send them to mark@thedaysoflore.com, or leave a comment below. You can check out Sen. Obama’s own Yes We Can soundtrack here.

The results to the less-important “Do You Love These” election: Nirvana by a landslide over KISS. But enough of that; I think today’s going to be a good day. It’s definitely going to be a different world tomorrow.
