Bon Jovi "Who Says You Can't Go Home"

Bon Jovi made sure everyone heard his 2005 song "Who Says You Can't Go Home". His plan for worl dominance consisted of recording a rock and country version of his upbeat tune. Jon recruited Jennifer Nettles of Sugarland for her vocal services in the country version. The song(s) proved to be so popular both on the radio and off; Republicans even used it in 2008 at events to support Vice Presidential-nominee Sarah Palin. Since they used it without permission, Bon Jovi ordered them to stop and then went on to perform at rallies in support of presidential hopeful Barack Obama.

Madonna "Borderline"

Early in her career, Madonna repeatedly performed "Borderline" that she swore off singing it during concerts for much of the '90s and 2000s. It wasn't until 2008 that she finally re-added the pop song to her Sticky & Sweet Tour. She again dusted off the song in 2016 to perform a more soulful but slower version of the tune on The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon while President Barack Obama (who was also a guest on the show) looked on in the distance.
