Oh man, if a conservative made a song like this, all hell would break loose calling it hate speech or something ridiculous, lol. Country music at large is conservative, but their songs are usually regarding the military, not outright propaganda that actually calls out the other party in their lyrics. The constant whining & boo-hooing from each side about each other and everyTHING these days is really just sad. Nothing ever changes. It only ever has and always will just keep getting worse.
Wow, talk about willful ignorance! "He only gets money from regular macs..." You meant to say Goldman Sachs, right? Goldman contributed four times as much money to Barry as they did to McCain. The ONLY presidential candidate who refuses money from special interests is Ron Paul.
Hi Will, after you gave me the link to your sing in the subway back from the Iraq Veterans Against the War in 2008, I probably have listened to this tune already a thousand times. It is great!! Thanks for making it.
Hope MaObama does not completely destroy America before we – The American People - can vote the most divisive, most arrogant, most economically ignorant, worst president in US history out of office.
But Obama is so terrible – so much worse than anyone could have imagined - that he may actually destroy America before then…
How sad to see a fine jazz harmonica man overtly admitting having been taken in by ACORN-inspired economics and by the global warming scam! I understand that it must have seemed very stylish and groovy to support Obama. But now we have himcreating money out of thin air (i.e. counterfeiting) and doing his best to Socialize the USA. Please just stick to music and skip politics.
"Standing in the way of any and all human progress"
They have absolutely nothing to offer the country except backwards thinking and simple-minded, already clearly discredited policies. You would think given the absolute rubble 8 years of you guys doing it your way has left our country in, you would learn.....but I guess it's easier to lie, deny, make up idiotic "facts" and play to people's fears than to honestly look in the mirror.
Someone sent me the link just to check out the vid, but I'm just getting so tired of the denial, short-term memories, ignorance and lack of support for Obama as he tries to clean up the unprecedented mess left by the last administration that I had to respond to freereeder's moronic post.
This is my final post re: this video. Please explain why folks on your end of the spectrum always seem unable to disagree without being vituperative and disagreeable. Do you think you have a monopoly on the truth? I think youre wrong on a great many issues, but I can express myself without employing such terms as moronic, lies, simple-minded and idiotic. Are you just incapable of rational discussion? Please do explain this to me. Many thanks.
If Republicans were REALLY willing to have rational discussions, we wouldn't be in the mess we're in now....and interesting how you guys only care about "rational discussion" when you're not in power. Same when it comes to fiscal responsibilityNow that Obama is trying to clean up the nightmare of a mess your side left our country in, Republicans suddenly care about the deficit again?
Those words that you object to are VERY well deserved and accurate.

Obama is a phoney who has already reneged on his promises. What happened to troops out of Iraq? How are you idiots enjoying the banks getting your billions and trillions of taxpayer dollars while you are all losing your jobs? Mc Cain and Obama was a sham election with two loser choices. Y'all should have voted for Ron Paul! I didn;t watch the video so I can't comment, lol.

There's plenty of room on this train ("Woo woo"). We can't be responsible for those who choose to be left standing at the station. Maybe they'll enjoy each other's company (although I doubt they know how to enjoy _anything_).
Thank you so much for this song and video. You inspired me to write my own song and upload it to YouTube.
Yes- and once Obama changes his stance on same-sex marriage and acknowledges that ALL Americans deserve the same rights, he'll be truly an ideal leader. It's up to us to ensure that our leaders are working for us all.
republicans are more and more endangered because you guys cant open your eyes yet to the fact that the WORLD IS CHANGING! its SHIFTING! realize it and you might get more approval ...humans are evolutionizing and we dont have time for selfishness, wars, resentment, aggression!

i didnt say he'd make the world change, i said the world is changing...and he knows how to adapt to the change and have americans open their eyes to the cultural crisis that is going on in this country..maybe invest money on education instead of on war ...or building museums and theatres and more cultural centers instead of the marketing of material consumerism..thats what i mean by the world is changing and thinking mccain and sarah "einstein" palin wouldve left us in the same ignorant shithole

For the person who didn't know what the original song was, it's Choo Choo Ch'boogie by B.B. King (the chorus went "Take Me Right Back to the Track, Jack").

Well done William! You should definitely sing more as you have a great voice for JAZZ. Thanks for all the great tips and wonderful playing at Bristol! You are one of the nicest guys I have ever met! Take care! Eddie
I posted it on my Facebook site and sent it out via email to my entire addressbook. Great toe-tappin' music with a positive message. Thank you Will and the rest of the group.
There will be such a huge feeling of pride, relief, and joy around the world when Barack is elected. It _will_ change this country (for the better), and that is why some people (poorly educated, insular, provincial, white supremacist, billion-dollar thieves) are so scared right now.
Somebody great ehhh... he talks about taking guys out of Iraq and getting OSAMA in Pakistan if necessary.I do not believe him. Hillary should be in the race. Besides what is the bs about democracy he talks about. Did not he learn in school that Democracy does not exist..the only true democratic state ever was city-state of AThens long time ago. We have Roman model of government and its called Republic; such system when u choose representatives who should vote in your name butthey dont care.
probably pronounced it like that for rhymes sake--but folks did pronounce Tupac Shakur too-pack shack-ur so you never know. I thought this video was cute though. obama? OH YES!
This is truly wonderful and a great song - and hopefully people are ready to hear the message and vote for the best man Barak Obama - yes -the time is now - I loved it
Oh, i say "sticks and stones can break my bones but words can never harm me". Let 'em rant! McCain;s mean spirited slights against Obama turned Colin Powell over to the good side!
now that was very cute and catchy ,,hey! and thats Roxy from One Life to Live! I love her character,,,she socked it to Adreianna last week! again thanks great video Vote Obama!
I'm glad the video shows the band members smiling--you can't sing that song without smiling, and it's the smile of hope, an earnest smile of genuine conviction. I won't say your version is better than the original, but I will say that it is every bit as good. I'm so grateful that artists like you apply your talents to a cause that you (and I) believe in.
That song has long been one of my favorites. From the driving, train-sounding rhythm (DAH-duh-dah-duh) to the tour de force rhyme scheme (_every line_ has the same rhyme, plus internals), it's a polished and brilliant gem. Will, your version is equal parts homage to Barack and homage to the song. You present urgency without despair, distinction without enmity, and hope without fear. (continues in next post...)
EXCELLENT! I play trombone in an R&B/Soul/Funk band, so I think I'm allowed to say that you guys are both TIGHT (in a good way) and SMOOTH at the same time.
Awesome adaptation of the original, BTW. I actually like your version better than Asleep At The Wheel's!
That's a great song. Written by Red Foley just three years after Choo Choo Ch'Boogie. People loved their trains back then! As I do now. Gobama! Go Amtrak! Funny how Repubs put down Amtrak cause they didn't make a profit and were subsidized.
If you doubt this economy is failin' then cast your vote for Palin. If you want 8 more years of pain, by all means vote McCain, but if you want administration that'll groove you, that'll move you and keep you sent, vote Obama for President!
Oh man, if a conservative made a song like this, all hell would break loose calling it hate speech or something ridiculous, lol. Country music at large is conservative, but their songs are usually regarding the military, not outright propaganda that actually calls out the other party in their lyrics.

GO OBAMA!!!!

Somebody great ehhh... he talks about taking guys out of Iraq and getting OSAMA in Pakistan if necessary.I do not believe him. Hillary should be in the race. Besides what is the bs about democracy he talks about. Did not he learn in school that Democracy does not exist..the only true democratic state ever was city-state of AThens long time ago. We have Roman model of government and its called Republic; such system when u choose representatives who should vote in your name butthey dont care.

Oh, i say "sticks and stones can break my bones but words can never harm me". Let 'em rant! McCain;s mean spirited slights against Obama turned Colin Powell over to the good side!

I'm glad the video shows the band members smiling--you can't sing that song without smiling, and it's the smile of hope, an earnest smile of genuine conviction. I won't say your version is better than the original, but I will say that it is every bit as good. I'm so grateful that artists like you apply your talents to a cause that you (and I) believe in.

That song has long been one of my favorites. From the driving, train-sounding rhythm (DAH-duh-dah-duh) to the tour de force rhyme scheme (_every line_ has the same rhyme, plus internals), it's a polished and brilliant gem. Will, your version is equal parts homage to Barack and homage to the song. You present urgency without despair, distinction without enmity, and hope without fear. (continues in next post...)

EXCELLENT! I play trombone in an R&B/Soul/Funk band, so I think I'm allowed to say that you guys are both TIGHT (in a good way) and SMOOTH at the same time.
Awesome adaptation of the original, BTW. I actually like your version better than Asleep At The Wheel's!

Try listening to THE CHATTANOOGIE SHOE-SHINE BOY, and see how uplifting (and similar) it is to this song - loved it!!!! Go Obama!

That's a great song. Written by Red Foley just three years after Choo Choo Ch'Boogie. People loved their trains back then! As I do now. Gobama! Go Amtrak! Funny how Repubs put down Amtrak cause they didn't make a profit and were subsidized.
Can you say "AIG"?
thanks for the note!

If you doubt this economy is failin' then cast your vote for Palin. If you want 8 more years of pain, by all means vote McCain, but if you want administration that'll groove you, that'll move you and keep you sent, vote Obama for President!

There already is music - my lyrics are just an update to a VERY cool Louis Jordan song called "Jordan for President":
So if you want to walk on the Sunny Side of the Street, with the candidate with a beat, vote for Jordan for President!
