U2, AC/DC, Stevie Wonder Warm Crowds For President Obama at LA Fundraisers

Matthew Umstead | President Obama says he used to pretend to be Stevie Wonderwhen he was 10-years-old and sing along to the Award-winning artist's songs in his room when he was living with his grandparents.
Stevie performed just before POTUS told those at a San Francisco fundraiser that the blind artist's album, "Talking Book," was the first he ever purchased with his own spending money.
"And unfortunately, my grandparents ... had to suffer hearing me sing," Obama said.
"Filling in" for Stevie at a subsequent, less exclusive fundraiser at Sony Studios in Los Angeles was a recording of AC/DC's You Shook Me All Night Long playing on the sound system. The rockers' warm-up number was then replaced with U2 as POTUS was announced.
POTUS spoke from a stage that recently was used for filming Spider-Man 4, aka The Amazing Spider-Man.
So we're wondering, what should Obama's reelection campaign song be? Stevie, AC/DC or U2?
We're thinking the original Spiderman cartoon theme song should win a view votes.
