If you’re looking for U.S. presidential campaign songs and political ditties dating from 1800 to 1950, you’ll find them on this collection, which includes a "Yankee Doodle" spin-off urging "Fair and Free Elections" and Lincoln’s "Rally Round the Cause, Boys" to the tune of "Battle Cry of Freedom." A few losers’ songs are featured as well.
