So now, let’s take a look at some campaign theme songs from some of the candidates from this race. READ ON to see what we think Obama’s theme song should be…

Can't Fight Robots, the debut album from Arkansas' Take It Back, finds a good mix between crunch and melody. It draws heavily on bands that defined the punk rock of the 90s like Pennywise and (ironically) Bad Religion and thickens that sound up with more hardcore tendencies.
