Song from Black Eyed Peas' will.i.am Inspired by Obama Speech.
Celebrity-filled music videos have been used to support many social movements, from famine relief for Africa, to support for American farmers, to opposition to apartheid in South Africa.
But rarely have celebrities and musicians banded together to create new music in the heat of a presidential campaign.
The Black Eyed Peas' frontman, songwriter and producer known as will.i.am, along with director and filmmaker Jesse Dylan, son of another socially active musician, Bob Dylan, released a new song Friday that attempts to do just that.
The music video "Yes We Can" premiered on ABCNewsNow's "What's the Buzz" on Friday. It was inspired, will.i.am told ABC's Alisha Davis, by Sen. Barack Obama's presidential campaign and in particular by the speech he has gave after the New Hampshire primary.
The music video includes excerpts from the Obama speech and appearances from a range of celebrities including: Scarlett Johansson, John Legend, Herbie Hancock, Kate Walsh, Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Adam Rodriquez, Kelly Hu, Adam Rodriquez, Amber Valetta and Nick Cannon.

That is the truth. They only want to hear from those that agree with them. Then when someone badmouths Obama, they can't handle it and go insane. They want to silence those that oppose the president. Yet they're the ones for "Freedom on Speech" when Bush was called Hitler. They need to grow up.
Two very talented and very humble men. Thanks Will and Jesse for giving us this most awesome song/video which I think I have watched about 300 x by now. God Bless ya... and YES WE DID!
If by lalala land you mean SINGING!! Yes they do in this video :) And it's great that the crippling chains of apathy are being refused by our generation regardless of the package it comes in... I congradulate Obama!

They want peace and harmony, except that they can't handle someone calling them a faggot without reacting with violence.
