The White House has announced that President Obama is changing the name of North America's highest peak. Mt. McKinley — named after William McKinley, the 25th President of the United States — is returning to its traditional Alaska Native name, Denali. Obama will make a public announcement of the name change today in Anchorage, during his three-day visit to Alaska.

This news got us thinking about mountains and their place in music. It turns out there are a lot of songs out there that mention mountains; sometimes it's right in the title.
