Sometimes I wish this were a blog about politics. But I guess shoving my hyper-ecstatic opinions about Barack Obama where they don’t belong just takes a little cleverness to find the music-relation. Yesterday I found one. Well, two actually.

Judging by the 3.2 million views on this video alone, perhaps you’ve already seen it, but just in case, here it is:

Will.i.am.’s “Yes We Can” Barack speech-song.

Yes, Will is a wanker, but this is a pretty interesting study on the lyrical quality of Obama’s words, which might explain this, at least somewhat…

Saturday night I was at home watching Barack speak on CNN. All of a sudden I noticed I was standing up in the middle of the room, rocking back and forth—just totally buzzing. Bouncing there on my toes, hanging off every word. Tell it brother Barack! Adrenaline, YES!

And, after sweeping all the weekend’s primaries to take the delate lead (even w/ Hillary’s cadre of nepotic superdelegates no less!) Barack was still not done winning!

The skinny kid from Kansas won a Grammy! And the best part? In the race for best spoken word book he beat Bill Clinton!

Double high-five to the Obama campaign for scoring two big-ol’ hits for the cost of zero-dollars. It’s huge. Frank Rich summed it up perfectly in the comparison of all the free views on the music video (basically a commercial) vs. Hillary’s spending truckloads of her own cash for airtime on the Hallmark channel.

Go Barack, GO! Eat these washed-up motherfuckers alive!
