Obamasong (Yes We Can) by Guy 'Magic' Fingers & Barack Obama

Now with the original footage!!
Inspired by the genius Henry Hey's Bush Song, Help Song and McCain/Palin songs, this is my attempt at accompanying Obama from a short excerpt of one of his TV debates.
Can I say, at this point, that this is in no way to be taken seriously! I have no political leanings, it is not a political video, nor does it have any subliminal message - this was meant as a bit of fun and a musical exercise, inspired by a very clever jazz pianist who first did it a long time ago to an answering machine message left by a guy whose laptop wasn't working! Please accept it as that - thanks :)

The man who created this video is a genius.

[GuyMagicFingers]

Very kind. Hardly a genius but just a lover of music, comedy and fun :) Check out Henry Hey and StSanders - they are genii in my opinion and inspired me to create this. Pass it on. GMF

Brilliant! Very funny and very clever. Reminds of Frank Zappa

It's very good, but why did you slow it down? You can tell by other people's movements and It sounds like he's drunk.

[GuyMagicFingers]

I slowed it down to half speed to track the notes of each syllable and then put the chords to them. When I sped it up to normal speed, it just sounded too silly - too fast. This is 75% of normal speed which was the best compromise. Thanks for listening :)
