Someone Please Tell Obama That Courtney Barnett Has More Than One Song

He's chucked 'Elevator Operator' on ANOTHER playlist

More Courtney Barnett More Courtney Barnett

Look, we're stoked that President Barack Obama is across the tunes of our very own Courtney Barnett. It's rad, especially given the fact that Trump and Clinton probably have no fuckin' idea who she is.

But following word that Obama has added CB's Elevator Operator to his new workout playlist — the same song as the one on his first summer playlist — we can't help but wonder… Obama, you know Courts has a whole album of material, right?

The song sits alongside tunes from Beyonce (Get Me Bodied), Sting (If You Love Somebody Set Them Free) and Jay-Z and Drake (Off That), but we reckon songs like Avant Gardener from her A Sea Of Split Peas EP, or Depreston, or good old Pedestrian At Best would get Obama breaking a sweat equally well.

On the other hand, we know he's a music-lover — even staging a mini-SXSW on the White House's South Lawn earlier this month — so maybe Obama just reaaaally digs Elevator Operator and it's on all his playlists.

Well, here's the album in full, Obama — maybe another song will make your playlist next time!
