Out of all the people you could Watch In the Cut (2003)think of to DJ at an inaugural ball after Donald Trump is sworn in next week, Moby should not be one of them.

The electronic musician once called Trump a "dimwitted, racist, misogynist," in an open letter published by Billboard, and said he was "an actual sociopath" in an op-ed for Rolling Stone. He even participated in a PSA asking Electoral College members to dump Trump.

Despite all that, he was still asked to DJ at an inaugural ball by a booking agent. His response: "Hahahahaha." In an Instagram post, Moby went on to say he would do it, but on one condition.

"I guess I'd DJ at an inaugural ball if as payment #trump released his tax returns," he wrote Tuesday.

"Also I would probably play public enemy and stockhausen remixes to entertain the republicans. I'm still laughing. Hahahaha. So #trump what do you think, I DJ for you and you release your tax returns?"

We daresay the president-elect won't take up Moby's offer, but he has prepared a playlist of songs, at Billboard's request, that he thinks would suit the occasion.

It includes appropriate tunes like Public Enemy's "Fight The Power," The Clash's "I'm So Bored With The U.S.A." and Green Day's "American Idiot." You can listen to them all on Spotify.

And so the search for big artists to play Trump's inauguration goes on, with Elton John swiftly shutting down claims he would play.

As for who's in, The Rockettes look to still perform despite reported protests within the group. Also confirmed is the Mormon Tabernacle Choir (despite a member recently quitting), and 16-year-old former America's Got Talent contestant, and 'Apocalypse' singer, Jackie Evancho.
