Look, if you’re the president of the United States you’re doing OK in the ‘cool dad’ stakes, but it never hurts to show you’re listening to some funky beats along the way.

Back in August Obama released his summer playlist (HERE), which showed a pretty eclectic taste in tunes from POTUS.

Now it’s time to look at his workout playlist, a mixture of funk, pop, rock, hip hop and curveballs.

I would say the first choice deserves a stern talking to, because no grown man should be listening to the Black Eyed Peas, but let’s have ourselves a listen.

I’ve saved you all a few clicks and linked each song title to the YouTube video, except the Jay Z song so you’re on your own there.

• Let’s Get It Started – Spike Mix – Black Eyed Peas
• Sinnerman – Nina Simone
• If You Love Somebody Set Them Free – Sting
• Live It Up, Parts 1 & 2 – The Isley Brothers
• Emergency – Icona Pop
• Perro Loco – Forro In The Dark
• Get Me Bodied (Extended Mix) – Beyonce
• Off That [Jay Z and Drake] – Jay Z
• Could You Be Loved – Bob Marley
• Elevator Operator – Courtney Barnett

Well to each their own I guess, and you’re never going to please everyone with your choice of beats.

It’s weird, but I’d be pretty interested to hear what the Donald is jamming to these days.
