Move Over, “Yes We Can”

In our quest to catalog every original song about a presidential candidate, we rarely come across tunes as infectious as this one . Think of it as Raffi meets will.i.am.

A brief excerpt of the lyrics :

Hey mama,
Obama
he got the mo, jama
talkin’ ‘bout Americana,
H-O-P-E
hope I get a new pajama
do the mamba,
do the samba,
tell the Dalai Lama,
we got the goods—hey!

Also, don’t miss the James Brown homage where they ask permission to “take it to the bridge.” Answer: “Yes we can.”
