First lady Michelle Obama isn't afraid to gab to Jay Leno about the tunes on her iPod playlist.
Sting, Stevie Wonder, Sarah Bareilles and Mary J. Blige, are on the presidential iPod she said.
"I've got it all," Obama said, beaming.
With the first lady's jams in mind, Yeas & Nays reached out to other leading ladies in town to see what they're bumping to.
Miss D.C. Jen Corey, an opera singer, concedes it's difficult to get pumped for the gym on her genre of choice. On Corey's list you'll find Whitney Houston's, "I Look to You," Taylor Swift's "Tim McGraw," Rascall Flatts, Carmen, Puccini, R&B and country.
An avid runner, Rep. Shelley Moore Capito, R-W.Va., sweats to the classics including, Mary Chapin Carpenter's "Passionate Kisses," Bon Jovi's "It's My Life," Elton John's "Your Song," Donna Summer's "Last Dance," Carly Simon's "Let the River Run," Coldplay's "Viva La Vida" and Bill Deal's "May I."
While the Twitterific Sen. Claire McCaskill,D-Mo.,fills her iPod with Earl Scruggs, Johnny Cash, Motown, bluegrass and classical music.
As for Fox News' host Greta Van Susteren: Ludacris.
Ludacris?
"Just kidding! I am so jet lagged that I hit play and immediately fall asleep ... so I have not heard beyond three bars of music in months," she confessed.
