The song Utah Democrats chose as they cast their votes for Kamala Harris

The Democratic National Convention is well under way, and so far we’ve seen a President Joe Biden sendoff, a surprise appearance from nominee Kamala Harris, a speech from Hillary Clinton, and appearances from Michelle and Barack Obama, as previously reported by the Deseret News.
But there was also a roll call vote Tuesday that turned into a dance party.
The second night of the convention saw a ceremonial roll call. Even though delegations from the various states and territories had already submitted their votes to make Harris the official presidential nominee earlier this month, the roll call was a chance for each delegation to publicly declare their support for Harris.
But the roll call wasn’t just a typical, run-of-the-mill head count. There was a DJ, celebrity performances, and each state got to pick their own soundtrack for their declaration, with selections ranging from Taylor Swift to Snoop Dogg.
An hour into the roll call, the Utah delegation got their chance. As the massive screen at the convention flashed the Utah state flag, “Animal” by pop-rock band Neon Trees came on.
Party members cheered as state Democratic Party chair Diane Lewis stood to deliver the delegation’s votes for Harris.
Neon Trees got their start in Utah, originally forming in Provo before breaking through with hit song “Animal” in 2010.
California had a whole quartet of songs: “The Next Episode” by Dr. Dre featuring Snoop Dogg; “California Love” by Tupac Shakur, featuring Dr. Dre; and “Alright” and “Not Like Us” by Kendrick Lamar.
Arizona chose “Edge of Seventeen” by Stevie Nicks.
New Mexico’s choice was “Confident” by Demi Lovato.
Idaho picked “Private Idaho” by The B-52′s.
Colorado chose “September” by Earth, Wind & Fire.
