Cover art for James K. Polk lyrics by They Might Be Giants

I don't think this song means much to me except what it says. The family story says that we are related to President Polk, so I really like listening to this one. The Johns have most of the facts right here, except there were more nominees in 1844. Other than that, it's a fun, educational song. I plan to play it in my classes when I start teaching.
