It seems Pete and Chasten Buttigieg have very different music tastes. That could make for an eclectic inauguration playlist, should the South Bend mayor win the presidency.

The 2020 hopeful was approached by TMZ Thursday morning and asked what kind of music he'd want at his swearing in ceremony. It seems like Buttigieg hasn't thought about it too much, but he seemed intrigued at one idea the reporter brought up: Phish.

"Boy, if you could get Phish to do an inauguration, that'd be something," Pete Buttigieg said. "Maybe we should ask them."

He's a big fan of rock music; he told TMZ days earlier that Cosmo's Factory, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Dave Matthews Band, Radiohead and Jimi Hendrix are among the acts he enjoys.

But while he may not have thought about who should perform to celebrate a potential presidential victory, his husband clearly has.

Responding to a TMZ tweet that said "Pete Buttigieg Wants to Jam To Phish At His Inauguration," Chasten Buttigieg said: "You spelled Beyoncé wrong."

It looks like Chasten Buttigieg gravitates toward pop music a bit more than his husband. Along with Beyoncé, he said he'd also like Jimmy Buffet and Dolly Parton to be there.

Pete Buttigieg has a lot of work to do before he settles on an inauguration act, though.

Pete Buttigieg polling

He started out as a virtually unknown candidate, but since he formed an exploratory committee in January, he's been steadily rising in nationwide and statewide polls of Democratic voters.

In a Monmouth University poll of registered Democratic voters in Iowa, released April 11, Buttigieg ranked third, behind only former Vice President Joe Biden and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders. In an April poll of registered voters in New Hampshire by the Saint Anselm College Survey Center, there was the same result.

Buttigieg formally announced his 2020 candidacy April 14, in front of roaring crowd of about 4,500 in South Bend.

"My name is Pete Buttigieg. They call me Mayor Pete. I’m a proud son of South Bend, Indiana, and I am running for president of the United States," Buttigieg said at the announcement.
