G.O.P. presidential candidate, Michelle Bachmann, wanted to be an "American Girl," but artist Tom Petty told her to stop using his song on the campaign trail. Newt Gingrinch apparently favors ABBA, but often plays "Eye of the Tiger" at campaign stops. Herman Cain made his own theme song, and Tim Pawlenty favors Kid Rock's "Born Free."

What songs do you think would play well for the various candidates?
