-Lyrics-
It was a creed written into the founding documents that declared the destiny of a nation.
Yes we can.
It was whispered by slaves and abolitionists as they blazed a trail toward freedom.
Yes we can.
It was sung by immigrants as they struck out from distant shores and pioneers who pushed westward against an unforgiving wilderness.
Yes we can.
It was the call of workers who organized; women who reached for the ballots; a President who chose the moon as our new frontier; and a King who took us to the mountaintop and pointed the way to the Promised Land.
Yes we can to justice and equality.
Yes we can to opportunity and prosperity.
Yes we can heal this nation.
Yes we can repair this world.
Yes we can.
We know the battle ahead will be long, but always remember that no matter what obstacles stand in our way, nothing can stand in the way of the power of millions of voices calling for change.
We have been told we cannot do this by a chorus of cynics...they will only grow louder and more dissonant ........... We've been asked to pause for a reality check. We've been warned against offering the people of this nation false hope.
But in the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about hope.
Now the hopes of the little girl who goes to a crumbling school in Dillon are the same as the dreams of the boy who learns on the streets of LA; we will remember that there is something happening in America; that we are not as divided as our politics suggests; that we are one people; we are one nation; and together, we will begin the next great chapter in the American story with three words that will ring from coast to coast; from sea to shining sea --
Yes. We. Can.

NO, YOU CAN'T -- NO SE PUEDE.
Status quo is Latin for scandal, recession, Bush, McCain,
NO, YOU CAN'T -- NO SE PUEDE.
Status quo is Latin for scandal, recession, Bush, McCain, global warming, children without healthcare, young men and women dying in Iraq for 100 years, and tax cuts for the super-rich while we rack up trillion dollar deficits. If you prefer more of the same, please stick with the Grand Ol' Party. If you want hope and change, there's that other guy running for president...
We made "No, You Can't" as a part parody/part homage (or "parage," if you will :-) ), to the original piece by will.i.am. We're inspired by the movement that Obama has set in motion, and wanted to poke fun at the entrenched interests and cynics who'll be pushing back harder and harder against us as our movement grows stronger.
Members of the power elite featured in this video include: Dick Cheney, Filmore Barrols, Ivy League-Legacy, Jen Trification, D. Forrest Callee, Monet Oliver de Place, Winsome Mandate, and Lily the Dog.

NO YOU CAN'T—NO SE PUEDE
...It was a creed, snuck into the founding documents that denied the destiny of a nation.
No, you can't.
It was decreed by bankers and landowners as they marched our monopolies westward.
No, you can't.
No you can't stop our power and privilege.
No you can't repeal our tax cuts for the wealthy few.
No you can't heal this nation.
No you can't end the war.
No you can't.
No matter what obstacles stand in our way, nothing can stand in the way of the power of our power keeping us in power.
Status quo.
Now the hopes of the little girl who goes to a private school in Newport are the same as the dreams of the boy who parties in the clubs of LA.
We are not as divided as our portfolios suggest. We run this nation, and together we will stop this nonsense about writing the next great chapter in the American story with three words that will ring from coast to coast; from sea to shining sea --
No. You. Can't.
VOTE GOP?

A quick recap of Lost, seasons 1 through 3, just in case you missed anything.

A quick recap of Lost, seasons 1 through 3, just in case you missed anything.
****************************
Update, to answer some questions:
No, I did not spend very much time on this at all, maybe a couple of hours. Tedious is not the same as time consuming.
No, this is not every single "What?" on the show. I left out a good bunch that didn't fit right. But, yes, these are in chronological order, save the ending.
And no, I am honestly not a Lost fan, let alone obsessive. I've only actually watched Season 1 and a little bit of Season 3. You guys really think I just sat down with pen and paper and watched every episode, waiting? They're called transcripts. Very handy.
I did this cause I thought it would be funny. End of story.
By the way, Disney/ABC, this is Fair Use. It's all in fun, don't be grumpy. =)
****************************
One more update, 04.16.08. No one says "Huh?" or "Hmm?" anywhere. It is 100% pure "What?"
