Old comments migrated to Disqus, currently working outtechnical issues
This musical tribute to the nation's capital closes with "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" by Paul Dukas, via that classical moment from Fantasia.

Bonus Inauguration Countdown Video
Originally I hadn't planned to put the Star Wars "Imperial March" in the lineup, but after seeing the official inauguration poster featuring what looks like Sith light sabers...
Doesn't the poster color scheme just reek of Orwell?

Musical Countdown To Obama's Inauguration, 15 Days
Back in 2004 I guest-blogged at Sasha Castel's now-defunct blog an incomplete list of alternate state theme songs devised by myself. For the District of Columbia I assigned an entire musical, 28 songs. Of course, I have the original list on my home computer. I'll be embedding a different selection each day leasing up to O-Day.
I'll start with the "Montagues and Capulets" march, from Sergei Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet (performing orchestra unknown).
The portion beginning at 01:35 may sound familiar to some - it was featured in the Lexus "swinging orbs" commercial (cited in this list).
Update: I've created a special "Obama Countdown" category for this series.
