The Democratic National Convention ceremonial roll call vote on Tuesday was a vibe. Emceed by DJ Cassidy, songs were selected by each delegation as they cast their ceremonial votes for Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris. Some of the songs played were “Good Luck, Babe!” by Chappell Roan for Missouri, the state from which Roan hails, “Sirius” by the Alan Parsons Project – also lovingly known as the Chicago Bulls Theme Song – for Illinois and “I’m Shipping up to Boston” by the Dropkick Murphys for, you guessed it, Massachusetts. There was even a cameo from rapper Lil Jon, who represented Georgia’s delegation with an energetic performance of his song “Get Low,” where the lyrics of “To the window, to the wall” became “VP Harris, Governor Walz.” DJ Cassidy kept the state-specific party moving for over an hour, with the musical mashup already inspiring a Spotify playlist. The Grammy-nominated DJ has previously been enlisted by former president Barack Obama for both of his Inaugurations and his and Michelle Obama’s 50th birthday parties, respectively. He’s also deejayed at parties and events for Oprah Winfrey, Jay-Z and Beyonce and Jennifer Lopez, among many others.
