  • Just saw these guys last night in Rochester- If I had know he supported that commy idiot Obama I'd have never spent my five dollar cover charge to see them play, much less spent the ten bucks I paid for their cd...

  • @luckylarudy you should demand a refund. hell, I did, and i'm in the band!

  • I bet right about now you'rewishing it had gone the other way now ain't you boys? Your "winner" has sure turned out to be a "loser" to the nth degree. If it had been up to people like you, America would've been taken over by the socialists and communists long ago. I never apologize for this country. She is the greatest hope for the underdog the world has ever seen. This ain't the country with the American values that saved the world in the 1940's.

  • How about you just speak for yourselves you losers.......That song gets on my nerves, had to stop the video. You have destroyed a good song with socialism, so how does that feel?

  • This is far and away my most favorite youtube comment ever. Truly a great comment. Works on so many levels. Thanks, megadrummer2!

    Best,

    Earl

  • Great song. But i am saddened because you forgot York Pa =(

  • LOL!!! good ; )

  • great vid

    ANY GUYS UP? GD

  • I keep listening to this guy, he won with your support. Thanks PA

  • and HE DID!

  • Keep up the good work, PA!

  • I love this video! GREAT job, and rock on with the B-man!

  • Wow, a lotta "burghs" in PA!

  • stop deleting my videos youtube!

  • Nice Video!

    I did one too about this whole debacle. I will send it to you. Tell me what you think.

  • The Obama thrill is passé. Voters have become bored with those naïve, sycophantic gals who faint over Obama and believe every lying word he says. Also, there is something very odd (gay?) about young MEN who defend Obamas pretty words, as if he is their own personal guru a male Oprah. Obama is corrupt as the day is long. He belongs to the Machine-Politics of Chicago. He is very dirty with kickbacks from the Fannie Mae loan debacle. McCain is not perfect, but I got to vote for him.

  • Obama everywhere in all 50 states!

    Obama the ONLY real change, 08.

  • haha nice video!

  • Very fun! He will win in PA in November!

  • This was great. Got me fired up and ready to go. Use it for the GE.

    Obama '08

  • Hillary aint got no prair man Lol

  • Just saw this on CNN! Go Obama!

  • Woke up this morning in London, UK. Heard the results. Figured you must have been worth a few percentage points in Lancaster at least! And damn, but I love it even more with the band. Props to you mate for working your rear end off for Obama. Any chance you can work up a version for each state for the presidential election? (don't forget Democrats Abroad - can give you a list of countries)

  • Thank you, YeeHaw. Your rockin vid helped close the gap in PA. And now it's onward. "Obama's gonna win in Indiana!"

  • OBAMA '08 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • OBAMA '08 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Wow!...You All are Great !!!!

    If not today...hang on to that Obama will be back in NOVEMBER 2008!

    You'll have a Gold Label...I love it!

    Obama 2008

  • Just voted for Obama in PA!!!

  • I love it!

    Obama '08

  • Really nice song. Great job.

  • Awesome job! Think.Vote.Hope Obama '08

    This video is endorsed by The Obama Puppy ;)

  • Obama 08!!! People are still against him?? Against the White, Black , Hispanic(endorsed), Asian(sister)candidate? The only candidate most Americans and people in the world want for president??If your not for Obama then your for the same old drama

  • Loved it! Great band! Good Message!

  • Sounds alot like a song we have here in Maine... I've been everywhere man. Oh wait Obama is good at using other folks words ain't he?

  • Well see the song you have there in Maine was actually an Australian song so I guess you guys in Maine are good at using other folks words as well. Bad analogy. Come on. You can think of a better one than that can't you. Or can you actually sing all the Australian towns in the original version?

  • Was actually an afterthought, was viewing all the vids so didn't have time to think it out. I was watching these c-span videos that are supposed to be what you think is the most important issue? Not a forum for Commercials for the Candidates? 50% of these are just ads for the candidates...go figure. And hell no I can't even remember the towns in the Maine song...just a thought I had while listening to it...Support Ron Paul if you really want change.

  • I do support Ron Paul actually. His he is the only candidate with a sound fiscal platform. The problem is that a vote for Ron Paul may end up being like a vote for the Democrats if you are a Republican. It is unfortunate, but Ron Paul is not electable. Because of the flaws inherent in a two party system, someone in your position is almost forced to vote for McCain.

  • Actually the Australian song is itself based on a Johnny Cash song called "I've been everywhere"

  • "I've Been Everywhere" was written by Australian songwriter Geoff Mack. He re-wrote the song with American & Canadian place names for singer Hank Snow. Lots of people have covered and re-written it since then. Johnny Cash did the definitive version in the 90's on his album "Unchained". I stand on the shoulders of giants, one of whom is dressed in black.

  • great lick

  • loveyalions135:

    So...only those who don't rely on oil companies for fuel are allowed to criticize Big Oil for sucking up record-breaking profits and bleeding Americans dry while reserves are at a 14-year high and we're still subsidizing Big Oil with billions of our tax dollars? Brilliant logic!

    And BTW, George Bush could give a flying flip about abortion; Republicans will never repeal Roe v. Wade, because then they wouldn't be able to trick people like you into voting for them again and again.

  • He did a good job in singing all those little towns in Pennsylvania. Did he mention Intercourse?

  • How can you think about Intercourse at a time like this? Let's win this thing first.

  • Yep. I knew that was coming. (The Intercourse thing that is.)

  • YeeHaw: ROFLMFAO! Indeed! And thanks again for the awesome song and vid! I was instrumental in getting Stephanie Miller to play it on her radio show. Keep rockin'!

  • IGTARND - It is sad that over 4,000 soldiers have involuntarily lost their lives in Iraq. What I find even more repulsive, though, is that during that same time frame, over 7 MILLION babies were voluntarily aborted. Please tell me why Bush is the always the bad guy, even though he supports pro-life?

  • Because he IS the bad guy..........how many of YOUR friends have died for OIL?

  • And all the countless babies, probably running into the billions, that were denied life by the use of condoms and other forms of contraception.

    I look forward to the day when one of the pro-life Republicans I vote for actually takes measures to end the murder of our unborn. Some say that pro-life politicians know they can count on the issue to get low information voters like us in their pocket every election so have no intention of ever acting on it, but we know better don't we.

  • Earl! I love it brother!Unfortunate that kitten's litter box is dirty,and want to debate with limited characters.I got the vid up at ghostofwellstone dot blogspot dot com

    pickin up more of your music too. Cheers!

  • Yes it was. Later, Pauly. :)

    For the sake of our country, may the best man win!

  • Thank you, Earl. And now that I have effectively ruffled the feathers of every birdbrain liberal here (as well as those who won't admit they're liberal), I'm off to another liberal lair to further educate (& entertain)! Frankly, I'm become bored. You people couldn't carry on, much less win, a healthy debate if your very lives depended on it. But if I caused even one BHO supporter to see the true light, that's one less vote for the charlatan. Ciao, baby!

  • Ciao kitten. It was fun. :)

  • And still no explanation as to why a self-professed Republican is spending days on this website defending a grating video that promotes an anti-American candidate. The words logical and rational are the last words associated with liberals. You're completely avoiding the issues and repeating yourself like a parrot. Pauly want a cracker?

  • I have to admit "Pauly want a cracker" was a good one. ZING!!!

    Thanks to all for the comments. You're keeping this thing interesting, that's for sure.

    xoxo

    Earl

  • I am Pauly Wannacracker, of the Connecticut Wannacrackers. And I am not so much defending a video than baiting a venomous snake for entertainment. By the way, I said I vote Republican, but regardless, I didn't know you had to be appointed to a political party. I thought we were all "self-professed". But you're a Libertarian so you already know that. And there is no reason to talk issues with you, because I agree with you. It's your friendly demeanor and sense of humor that I am amazed at.

  • YEEEEE HAAAAAA!

    Love it!

  • Anti-American? Uhhhhh, while we're making random assertions, you're, ummmm, let me seee, you're anti-goat-milking. Hell, it makes just as much sense as your comment.

  • I'm sorry. I can't support anybody that's anti-goat-milking. No one should ever drink milk that comes from an anti-goat. Wouldn't that like destroy the world if it ever came in contact with regular goat's milk? Scary stuff.

  • I would welcome the opporunity to meet you to find out if you really are a Republican and not a pansy-ass liberal hippy. You have to understand where I'm coming from, dude, because I have to wonder why a self-professed Republican would claim to enjoy a video promoted by misguided liberals who support BHO. But please provide your address and phone number so I can have Perverted Justice check out your criminal record first, for my own and my children's protection.

  • Funny how a little girl named kitten could scare you, but it doesn't seem to scare you that an anti-white, anti-American with a cult following that resembles that of Jim Jones, wants to be the commander-in-chief of this great country. The terrorists are ready and waiting for an opportunity to see the likes of B. Hussein Obama take over. Give them, not me, your peace sign, Mr. Republican. And while you're at it, take cover. With a Democrat as Prez, we're all toast.

  • Hey kitten, let's go for an ice-cream sometime and then feed the ducks at the park. Do you like to finger paint?

  • Oh, believe me...I'll be having fun doing my happy dance when both Hitlery and OsamaObama cancel each other's prospects out with their bickering, their blatant lies and relentless deceit. And I smile with pure joy every time one of them open his or her piehole to trash-talk the other. Continue to dig your graves while the conservatives plan to prevail once again. Buh-bye, liberals!

  • Ummmm yeah. I vote Republican. I just like the video. You scare me kitten. Peace.

  • This is wonderful, and I have two advanced degrees and absolutely not a red-neck. I live in rural PA and even though I'm "bitter" I can still have fun and not take everything so seriously. Smile, have some hope and stop being so negative.

  • Exactly. Bravo!

  • The last time "we" (our country with Clinton as President) chose to not take everything so seriously, the terrorists had time to plot and plan 9/11. Never take for granted that we can't ignore what's going on around us, or forget for one moment why we continue to defend our precious land. On 9/11, it took less than 3 hours to murder 3,000 of our innocent civilians.

  • Yep. That's what wrong with our country. Too many fun music videos. We get all giddy watching them and then, when the tears of laughter have blurred our vision..Bam! That's when they get you. And by the way, this little kitten just called me a pansy-ass liberal hippy! What a hoot. No kitten, I'm just logical and somewhat rational. I guess those character traits make me appear liberal to you. So, what are your views on sunshine, lollipops and rainbows? Do you like puppies? I do. They're cute.

  • And Bush has killed 4000 more in the last 7 years, and it had nothing to do with 9/11

  • OBAMA '08 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • OBAMA '08 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I may be as your hero Obama Hussien would say just a "typical white person" who turns to "religion and guns" and who might just be a Pennsylvania redneck but it seems to me that the "artist" above is catering to a redneck stereotype. I would whole heartedly agree with Kitten252 from Pennsylvania.

    Here we have a half white/half black man who seems to be angry at how this country has held him down and his wife is even angrier! They are both fervant socialist vote for Him at your own peril

  • Can I get a Yee-Haw?!?! I said... can I get a YEEHAW!!!

    Thanks. I needed that.

  • Cool.

  • Apparently you haven't read my prior comments. It's not country music or country music singers or even honky tonks that I am against, it's the fact that this goofy song has been written for and is geared towards voters in the PA primaries, making all PA residents appear to be nothing more than a bunch of hee-hawin' hillbillies.

  • I have read every one of your prior comments. I just see it more as the personal expression of the person who performed it than something geared towards anyone or anything subliminal. It's a song and it's fun. And if it stimulates thought and/or emotion, it has succeeded as art.

  • GREAT SONG!!!

    Obama '08

  • If you can't hear the honky-tonky, country-redneck theme coursing through this doggone ditty that just grates on one's last nerve with its repetitiveness and lack of creativity, then you deserve to live under a regime of agonizing socialism that this lunatic will perpetrate on our country.

  • Yeah, I know what you mean. Like that Dwight Yoakam guy who did that version of "Honky Tonk Man". What a stupid redneck. How demeaning can you get? He deserves to "live under a regime of agonizing socialism", which would be a great shock to him since he is a registered Libertarian. I, myself, am a conservative leaning moderate who has always been lured towards the Jeffersonian platform of the Libertarian Party; that is until I find you lurking there. I think I'm going to start the Music Party.

  • Osama Obama either sh*ts money, or is financially backed up by the only racket that's richer than the Vatican. Think about it...you get this moron elected, you're serving our country to the terrorists on a silver platter.

  • Great Vid Earl! Obama has my vote. Comments say a lot when they try and insult you for expressing your right to free speech and it also says a lot about the canditate they support. You rock man, thanks for doing this.

  • I AM A BITTER Pennsylvanian and voting for OBAMA who tells the truth. It hurts, doesn't it? Not lying Billary whose hubby brought us NAFTA. Not lying Billary who never landed in Bosnia under fire. Not lying Billary who lies about being against the war that she voted FOR. Wake up America! $109 million in 8 years! Whose the elitist?

  • Suke,

    You are a liar!

  • And, might I add, this redneck-oriented song is more than demeaning to an intelligent PA resident and registered Libertarian.

  • I'm just curious as to how this song is either "redneck-oriented" or "demeaning" to any PA resident, intelligent or not. Could you please explain?

  • God help us all if either this con-man (who is obviously being backed financially by Al-Quaida), or Hitlery the relentless liar and queen of the cover-up, results in being our chief (or chieftess?) in command. Neither has the experience nor the intelligence to keep us safe from terrorism and the proven ravages of socialism they both avidly promote.

  • Obama doesn't deserve his US Senate seat --- let alone the White House.

    It took Obama more than a year to repudiate his former pastor's radical, racially-charged anti-American tirades

    How about Obama's relationship with another racist Reverend? This one is Rev. Meeks. Check him out!

    NO OBAMA! We don't need a president who looks down on us --- we need a president who stands up for us.

    HILLARY 2008!

  • Billy- this video is awesome! My daughter goes to pre-school at the co-op. I am co-chair for Union County for Obama. I'll be seeing you soon.

    Kim Thomas

  • Only weak males with shrinking nut sacks would turn everything Hill says into a negative. Voters will come crawling back to Hill when they get sick and tired of Obama's jive talking!

    Real men have Hill's back!

  • Great Video...It flows!!

  • yes/ i love it!/ obama08

  • The comment below refers to mr. RICHmooreland, not to all of the other wonderful people who enjoy this video!

  • Thank you earlyeehawpickens......America is counting on the people of Pennsylvania to vote for Obama in the April 22 primary

    Yes we can!!!!!!

  • Warm fuzzies when he talks but no substance. His life is a contradiction. Father is a black Kenyan, mother white, raised by Kansan grandparents. He's proud of "African Hertitage" but his only African connection was that his African father got his mother pregnant and deserted her. Does sperm carry a cultural gene? Where is the pride in his white culture? Where are the pictures of his white grandparents? This shouldn't be part of the debate, but he keeps bringing it up and reminding us.

  • Richmooreland-

    There is no such thing as "white culture." I'm white, and have never heard, seen, or experienced such a thing...

    Regardless if Obama is half white, he still has *black skin*, and therfore can reasonably identify with and appreciate black/african culture. If you didn't know who he was, you wouldn't know his mother was white, you would just assume he was a black person.

    FYI I have seen pictures of him and his white grandparents, I'm sure you could just google it.

  • You Rove/McCain operatives need to crawl out of your caves once in a while and lighten up - have you ever heard of having a little fun and enjoying some good music? Get over your racial nit-picking and just accept people for who they are!

  • Who the hell caress..if you didn't see black pictures would you be asking the same questions..get over it and see him as a person

  • Who the hell cares..if you didn't see black pictures would you be asking the same questions..get over it and see him as a person

  • Earl, I love you!

  • Not, where i'm canvassing. But then again, I hear Obama people hear only what they want to about this teflon guy.

  • Absolutely LOVE this!  Crack me up!

  • Yeaaaaaaaahaww from Canada, Fantastic!!! GO OBAMA 08 .

  • Awesome video! GOBAMA!!

  • Hillary ain't got a prayer, man.

  • The music still in my head...Obama over here Obamaover there Obama everywhere...Great just great. C'man Penn you can decide this election and send the best man foward. Bye bye Hillary.

  • woooo ..

    Nice Job.. Hillary aint got a prayer man..

  • Earl, you are awesome. Totally cool song.

    Best. Campaign. Video. Ever.

    Barack Obama 2008, our next President.

    Thanks

  • Just Awesome!!

  • I've seen just about all the Obama music out there. This is the best.

  • More nutritious musical goodness from the restless, soul-patched mind of Earl Pickens. Wish I could have been one of the silly people dancing with signs at the gazebo, but I don't live in a commonwealth, now do I?

  • Hey all. Thanks for all the props, shout-outs, mad props and mad shout-outs.

    Yrs.,

    Earl

  • That was Great!!

  • well done...you nailed it.!!

    That was amazing!

    Great Job!!

  • HAHA! this is great. well done cover, guys, well done.

  • This is lots of fun - I love it!

  • earl, this song rocks!

  • There's a town called BLUE BALL??? Jesus, those poor bastards. OBAAAAAAAMMMMMMAAAA. Yeah.

    Earl, I trust you've made the Obama folks aware of this. They sould slap it on the PA television stations, pronto.

  • Hm. Advice to my fellow American: Let go of the race / gender stuff. Then get on board. Voting for the most qualified candidate is what democracy is about.

    Obama 08!

  • It's great! I love it! I want to play it everyday, man!

    Can you please send your video and song tot he Obama campaign so they can hire you for the April 22nd fete!

  • then get the hell off this thread

  • What is this supposed to mean? People can't THINK and the decide to vote for Obama?

  • Yes he will!

  • I love it! Yes we can!

  • dude, you rock! and he will win it fair & square!

  • That was great!!!

  • Thanks! I'm living in The Hague (Holland) - what a great rock'in tune to wake to this morning.

    "He'll win it fair and squäre man!

  • Greetings, people of The Hague!

  • Obama is the change that this country needs.

  • Great fun song - go PA and vote for Obama!

  • Alright Pennsylvania, let's do this! As a local texan, I'm rooting for you guys to make this happen! We can do it!

    yes we can! 08

  • OBAMA in the White House MAN!!

  • At one point in this rockin' country-western song, the lead guitarist/singer says "Can we take a guitar solo? Yes we can. Yes we can." I love it! And as a resident of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania I'm impressed at the singer's ability to list the names of so many Pennaylvania cities and towns, many of which aren't that easiest to pronounce-let along sing. Come on, Pennsylvania! It's time to end this primary campaign! Vote Obama!!

  • I just showed this video to my daughter who's voting for Obama too. She loved the song AND the video!! She thought the tune was catchy and liked how the video showed a variety of people supporting Obama. We intend to send this video link to other people. My daughter had a question: "What city was this filmed in?" Btw, when I listened to the video again I realized that I had misquoted the singer. He said "Yes we can take a guitar solo. Yes we can." That was really witty.

    Thanks! Si se puede!!

  • Hi Azizip17 - Earl is probably busy fielding calls from potential agents and managers, so I'll answer this one... the town in the video is Lewisburg, nestled along the banks of the Susquehanna River. You can actually see more of it in all its springtime glory if you check out one of Earl's other videos, "Can I Turn On the Radio". Go Obama in PA!!!

  • MONESSEN, PA FOR OBAMA!!!

  • Great song, great candidate! Come on Pennsylvania, end this thing!

  • Woooo Hooooo! Great Song! Go Pennsylvania!

    Yes We Can!!!

  • Let's go PENNSYLVANIA!!!

    Yes We Can

  • Wonderful video. Loved it man!

  • VOTE OBAMA FOR CHANGE...YES WE CAN!!!

  • good job! far superior to "Raining McCain

  • Great work, Earl and friends.

    from another Earl who supports Obama

  • Great idea, great performance. What a tight band, not the type of music I listen to usually, but I have been in bands and those guys are tight. They are either pros or have been playing together for a long time. Or both!

  • Hi gdamac. Thanks for the mad props. "Earl Pickens and the Band named Thunder" are semi pro, or at least a bunch of rank amateurs who are trying to become rock stars. We've been together since September, 2007. But we practice A LOT. Like every 3 hours. okay, not that much but at least once a week. ;-)

    THANKS AGAIN!

  • Awesome and hilarious! Good job with a country patter song that is hard to sing in the original let alone rewrite!

  • love it

  • Love it. Great job :)

  • Catchy tune. Much easier to watch than Grand-Daddy McSame's yodeling heifers. :-)

  • WOW! Great job!!! That's a HARD one to sing! Love it! LOL :O)

  • Brilliant!

  • hahaha! thats amazing!

  • AWESOME!
