The very best song of the '08 campaign. So glad I lived in Seattle as a kid in the late '50's and was and remain a Patches Pal (got a brick or three too near the statue)
Democratic Presidential Nominee has adopted a new campaign theme song.
Inspired by the rags-to-riches story of internet sensation Tay Zonday, recently featured on an episode of Maury, Barack Obama has jumped on the "Zonday Express" adopting Zonday's "Chocolate Rain" as his official song.
An Obama staffer applauded this move saying, "Yes, I think I hear the drops on my roof. What could it be? Ah yes, some Chocolate Rain."
This is a fantastic and moving song. It would be awesome if it was played at the convention when Barack gets the nomination. How cool would that be!!!!! God bless Obama and the world.
I love what Matt Cameron (the drummer from Pearl Jam) says at the end. We really do have to show to the world that we're not really the country that we've been the last 8 years.
Thanks so much sister in law!. We really appreciate your comments and support. That's pretty cool that your cab driver saw our work. Not sure if you knew this, but we were asked to present the video at the Key Arena friday in Seattle to a crowd of 21,000 people. It was extremely fun!
Great song. I listen to it every morning and hum it all day. Great piano-driven energy, arrangement, vocals, beat, and length ... perfect for rallies ... just one request. PLEASE re-record the cheesy, 80s-Saturday-morning-sitcom/80s-training-video guitar solo. PLEASE.
Well, how about YOU post a guitar solo for it? I think it's good, as good as the piano, percussion, bass, singing, and lyrics. Good Larry Carlton style tone and riffin'.
Hype- Michelle is a FULL TIME VP at the U of C med center. 13 of their 16 VPs make over $300k. Compared to her fellow Harvard Law grads, she's underpaid.
Also she's a board member of a company that closed a plant, laying off 153. Though this wasn't her call, it is the kind of heart wrenching dollars & cents business decision is a hallmark of capitalism. If this offends you, don't vote for Mitt either.
Raising hopes is dangerous in a way -- you cut out a huge amount of work for yourself, and risk disappointment -- but lowering them, ... well, we've seen how well that's worked out, haven't we?
One person can change the world! Your vote for Barack can mean the difference in this election and the direction we need for our country. FIRED UP AND READY TO GO!!!!
Thanks so much to all who participated in any way in the making of this video! It is totally awesome! Lets all keep working to grow the HOPE! What a wonderful opportunity we have to make this come to fruition! YES WE CAN! OBAMA 08
Obama's speeches always make me have goosebumps. He is so inspirational. That is exactly what we need from our president. I'm tired of all the partisanships that has crippled Washington. Unite and lets move this country forward TOGETHER! Great song by the way. Should give it to Obama to play after his speeches.
Thank you guys for posting this video... Obama has inspired many people, even people who are not from United states of american, just like me... Vote for Obama becouse he is the true Leader and the honest candidate for president this year.

Even you are welcome at Obama's Church.

Has the Obama Campaign contacted you or been contacted about using this song in their campaign? I'm assuming they'd be allowed to use it...
