Teach Me How to Dougie - Being the mother of two teenage daughters, the first lady has to stay abreast of what's hip.

At Last - Queen Bey has lent her voice to several important moments in the Obama administration but her grandest performance had to be in January 2009 when she sang Etta James's classic "At Last" as the president danced with his lovely wife for the first dance at the inaugural celebration. (Photos from left: John Moore/Getty Images, Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images)

One Day It'll All Make Sense - The prez and first lady made it a Chi-Town thing in May 2011 when they invited Common out to The White House to get his slam on for "An Evening of Poetry." Now of course the haters had something to say because Common spoke harshly of former President George W. Bush in the past, but the H.M.I.C. stood his ground and The White House responded, "While the president doesn't support the kind of lyrics that have been raised here, some of these reports distort what Mr. Lynn [Common] stands for more broadly. One of the things the president appreciates is the work Mr. Lynn has done with children, especially trying to get them to focus on poetry as opposed to some of the negative influences of life on the streets."(Photo: Charles Dharapak, File/AP Photo)

Showtime! - President O stopped by the Apollo Theater in New York while on his re-election campaign bid in 2012 and something about that famous stage must have hit the commander-in-chief. He broke out and started singing soul legend Al Green's classic "Let' Stay Together." Obama used the song's message to rally his supporters to turn out to the polls and keep him atop the throne. (Photo: Charles Dharapak, File/AP Photo)
