70. No! Don't post that song!

That's the song they used on the president's reelection night on West Wing. In 2012, I saw Obama giving Bob Dylan the lifetime achievement award and they played that song, and I thought to myself "I just heard that recently", and realized it had been while rewatching the episode of West Wing where the president was reelected. I figured that had to be good luck, so I listened to that song a lot in 2012. For the same reasons I'm avoiding it now. I know it's silly to be so superstitious, but I'm such a nervous wreck that I can't help it.
