It’s summer vacation time for President Barack Obama and he took a break from golfing at Martha’s Vineyard to remind America that he’s pretty hip.

The president on Thursday morning tweeted a list of his favorite songs for daytime and nighttime of this summer.

The 19 daytime songs include cuts from Jay Z, Prince and the Beach Boys, but envisioning Obama listening to Aloe Blacc’s ‘The Man‘ is amusing enough.

The 20 nighttime songs include numbers from Mary J. Blige, Billie Holiday and Janet Jackson.
