Ruben Navarrette : Popular music at political rallies is a powerful mood enhancer.

He says candidates have increasingly used popular music to send a message.

He counted at least 41 artists who have tried to forbid him from using their tunes, including the Rolling Stones , the Beatles, Queen , Elton John , Guns N' Roses , the Foo Fighters, and Bruce Springsteen .

McCain thought about using ABBA 's 1978 hit “ Take a Chance on Me ,” but worried about being unable to secure the Swedish band’s permission.

"If you're not careful, you can alienate some Swedes ," McCain told reporters during one of the many off-the-cuff conversations he had with reporters.
