The Impeachment Playlist

A fun list of songs to bid the President adieu.

The Impeachment Playlist
David Everett Strickler

Before I officially begin, regardless of how you feel about the current President of the United States, this is all in jest.

With the growing fervor about potentially having the President impeached, I thought it'd be a fun time to highlight some songs to wish him a fond farewell. Use these songs to build your own “Peace Out Mr. President” playlist.

Carly Simon - You're So Vain

Among all of the outrageous things the President has said, his belief that he's been doing an exceptional job is astounding and he certainly has a very high opinion of himself.

“Well, you're where you should be all the time /And when you're not, you're with some underworld spy.” Those lyrics could apply quite well to the whole controversy surrounding the meetings with Russia, don't you think?

M People – Movin’ on Up

“Just who do you think you are? / Stop actin’ like some kind of star” seethes lead singer Heather Small in this 1994 hit. Besides being vain, there is little doubt that the President still holds onto his status as an adored celebrity...of sorts.

Ray Charles - Hit the Road Jack

This one succinctly captures the sentiment of many people’s feelings towards the Commander-in-Chief.

Basement Jaxx – Where’s Your Head at

No matter how well-intentioned they may or may not be, some of the stuff that’s come out of the President’s mouth regarding his sentiments towards other cultures/religions/nationalities haven’t won him favor with other countries. “You turn the world away from you / Where’s your head at, you don’t make it easy on yourself”. Whether the guy says some of the things he says for the sole purpose of creating a reaction or whether he genuinely believes it, his bold statements have generally lost him favor.

Stereo MC’s – Connected

This song could be interpreted as the importance of gaining insight and being less ignorant. “But if your mind’s neglected / Stumble you might fall” could apply to the President’s demonstrated lack of knowledge about many topics.

Tupac Shakur - Changes

We all know the President has developed a reputation for being something of a xenophobe. His promise to erect a massive wall to block Mexicans from entering the country only reinforces that, if he does get impeached, he might want to give this insightful tune from the late rapper a listen.

Lesley Gore - It’s My Party

Saturday Night Live has used the President as comedic material several times now, and it’s become almost a tradition to read his negative tweets about it the following day. With all the whining about being parodied, this classic tune might just apply perfectly to him.

Ugly Kid Joe - Everything About You

If you really want to throw in a song expressing how you feel without beating around the bush, this spells it out without any kind of subtlety.

Again, this is all in good fun and not meant to be a serious political opinion of any sort. What are some of your suggestions? Feel free to add your own favorites in the comments!

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
