"I Wanna Be a Kennedy" is a song recorded by German dance music project U96, released as the second single from their debut album, Das Boot. Musically, the song is very similar to the 1980 song "Fade to Grey" by British new wave band Visage, in which its similarity can be clearly heard in the main synthesizer riff. It was successful in Germany, Switzerland and Austria where it was a top ten hit.
