The eclectic list includes the classics — “Happy” by The Rolling Stones, Stevie Wonder’s “Don’t You Worry ‘Bout A Thing,” and Steely Dan’s “Reelin’ In The Years.”
There’s also “I’ve Got You Under My Skin” from Frank Sinatra and “How High the Moon” by Ella Fitzgerald
The Obamas proved they’re hip too, by including some of the this year’s hottest hip-hop, R&B and pop tracks like “Señorita” from Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello, “Old Town Road” by Lil Nas X and “Boo’d Up” from Ella Mai.
There’s no doubt the Obamas are up on pop culture. The question is, will they be tuning in to Monday night’s MTV Video Music Awards to watch Camila Cabello, Shawn Mendes, and Lil Nas X perform?
