2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumDemocratic National Convention - The nominee's song as they walk to the podium
Historically, as the nominee enters a song is played which reveals something about them or their message. Have been researching the various songs throughout the democratic conventions, and have listed the ones since 1992 and my prediction for 2016.
1992 - Don't Stop, Fleetwood Mac
1996 - Beginnings, Chicago
2000 - Let the Day Begin, The Call
2004 - No Surrender, Bruce Springsteen
2008 - Signed, Sealed, Delivered, Stevie Wonder
2012 - We Take Care of our Own, Bruce Springsteen
2016 - Honesty, Billy Joel
Be curious of one's prior to 92 if anyone remembers or if I got one wrong. Thanks.

It could also be a repeat of 2012s pick, albeit with a perverted meaning of the lyrics.
