Obama the musical! What are your suggestions for the song list?

Oh Fortuna.

@Sampson Either a very short or an extremely repetitive show. Still it would make a change we can all believe in~

I just know somebody’s going to want to say “Impossible Dream.”

I went looking for the old Broadway tune “Take Me Along” (If you love-a me) and found this instead. I don’t know—I might pick this one.

I Fooled You This Time

At Last? :p

Th Beatles: MIchelle, Ma Belle

Teachable Moment would be an original song.
Let’s Work Together would be an existing song.

It would not be complete without Solid as Barack

HOPE – the Obama Musical Story is opening in Frankfurt, Germany, on January 17th. Apparently there’s already a Kenyan musical about him too.
but that’s not what you asked
Using existing songs, I would suggest:
Why Was I Born?—Kern & Hammerstein (for young Barack)
Countless uplifting gospel songs
there’s a brilliant election version of One Day More on youtube
Come So Far (Got So Far To Go) (stolen from Hairspray)

Taxman

Only In America – Jay and the Americans
Don’t Call Me Nigger, Whitey – Sly & the Family Stone
Cult of Personality – Living Colour
Baby, I’m A Star – Prince
How You Like Me Now? – Kool Moe Dee
Ball of Confusion – The Temptations
Under Pressure – Queen/David Bowie
One Is The Loneliest Number – Three Dog Night
Satisfaction – The Rolling Stones
