While festive music is a predictable backdrop for every political convention, victory night, and inauguration, the body of songs actually written about American electoral politics is not large. Ballads recounting the actions of specific officeholders are rare and campaign songs written to support particular candidates tend to be forgotten soon after the rally or election for which they were composed.
