Fiona Apple is featured in a new song called "Tiny Hands" written for the Women's March on Washington happening Saturday, the day after the inauguration.
The song, just 1:02 long, has a simple message for our president-elect, repeated eight times: "We don't want your tiny hands / Anywhere near our underpants."
So for today's 9:30 Coffee Break, what songs do you want to hear that have political messages?
