Today is President's Day - a federal holiday held on the third Monday of February celebrating the presidents of the United States along with George Washington's birthday. (Washington's actual birthday is February 22, 1732, but it is celebrated along with the holiday.)

Regardless of the way you're feeling politically these days, throughout the ages musicians have referenced presidents so let's listen to the songs that do so this morning.

So for today's 9:30 Coffee Break, what songs do you want to hear that mention presidents?
