The song " Happy Days Are Here Again " is the unofficial song of the Democratic Party . It was used prominently when Franklin D. Roosevelt was nominated for president at the 1932 Democratic National Convention and remains a sentimental favorite for Democrats today . For example , Paul Shaffer played the theme on the '' Late Show with David Letterman '' after the Democrats won Congress in 2006 . " Do n't Stop " by Fleetwood Mac was adopted by Bill Clinton 's presidential campaign in 1992 and has endured as a popular Democratic song . The emotionally similar song " Beautiful Day " by the band U2 has also become a favorite theme song for Democratic candidates . John Kerry used the song during his 2004 presidential campaign and several Democratic Congressional candidates used it as a celebratory tune in 2006
