NEW YORK -- The song contents of President George W. Bush's iPod have been revealed -- and some of the selections may surprise you.
The presidential iPod is heavy on country songs but also includes Van Morrison's "Brown Eyed Girl" and Stevie Ray Vaughan's "The House is Rockin'."
"My Sharona" by The Knack also made it onto the "First iPod," as does John Fogerty's "Centerfield."
Ironically, Fogerty was one of the artists on the Vote For Change tour aimed at getting Bush out of office.
Bush media strategist Mark McKinnon, who downloaded some of the songs to the iPod, said in an e-mail, "If any president limited his music selection to pro-establishment musicians, it would be a pretty slim collection."
