The DNC roll call Tuesday featured a number of musical moments, with each state getting its own song as they cast their vote, but what was Illinois'?
The night included a Lil Jon surprise, appearances from Spike Lee and Eva Longoria, but as Illinois' turn to vote came up, viewers were met with an iconic and familiar song.
DJ Cassidy strode on stage in a bright blue double-breasted suit and spun tunes for every state during the event's ceremonial roll call, as they nominated Kamala Harris and Tim Walz to the Democratic presidential ticket. Minnesota got “1999” by native son Prince, Kansas got “Carry on Wayward Son” by, well, Kansas. “Born in the U.S.A.” by Bruce Springsteen played as New Jersey weighed in.
For Illinois, "Sirius" by the Alan Parsons Project played, a nod to the United Center venue hosting the event and the Chicago Bulls that play there.
The British prog rock band's song was the intro music for the Michael Jordan-era Chicago Bulls, who played in the very arena hosting the convention.
