President-elect Obama has an impressive repository of tunes, penned in his honor. A quick re-cap:
This was catchy.
This had a hott backbeat and lots of strings, but only one actual lyric and less English than the first one.
This was downright creepy. Especially the frenetic chanting at the end.
And now that Barack has been elected, the formerly-hologrammed will.i.am was supposed to release a third song, titled “It’s a New Day” here, yesterday. He has failed to produce, but I’m looking forward to hearing what he comes up with.
1) This is a total Austin post. Brian has gone meta-hip.
2) Lots of extremely attractive multi-racial people in the will.i.am song. Does Obama not have ugly fans?
3) I hadn’t seen the second will.i.am video before. The first one was disturbingly moving. Must be because I’m a Gap-wearing, latte-drinking, blue-state white boy. But this second one… I swear this looks like an SNL parody. “I believe in Barack Obama because he believes in us.” !!!
