He's Barack Obama! He's Come To Save The Day!

Check out Jib Jab's newest video -- it's great! [Sorry -- I tried several times to embed the video here; but, there must be something wrong with the code. But, just click on the link and go directly to Jib Jab's website to see it.]

The song is to the tune of "When Johnny Comes Marching Home Again."
He's Barack Obama

When darkness had descended all across the land
a lone voice in the distance uttered "yes, we can!"
he gave good speeches, never sweat
he was real good at the internets
he's Barack Obama
he's come to save the day

he passed a major stimulus for the bourgeois
then said he'd half the deficit, hee hee, hah hah
stop unemployment, fix health care in his spare time
he's Barack Obama
he's come to save the day

He’ll use his super powers to win in Iraq,
Then kung-fu chop the Taliban! Ka-chow! Ka-cha!
Our image in the world he’ll mend,
Then make the Jews and Arabs friends!
He’s Barack Obama,
He’s come to save the day!

[Oval Office scene: phone rings
"Sir, we have a situation."
"Pirates!"]

He'll spend the dough, write the checks
Disregard the mounting debt

Stop the globe from getting warm
Fill your car with nuts and corn

Leap a building, run industry
Save a kitten from a tree

Fix the schools, go to space
Punch a robot in the face

Stop a train, wrestle bears
Smoke a butt, we don't care

'Cuz you're Barack Obama
You've come to save the day
So just snap your fingers
and fix the USA!
You can go to here to see and read about how the video was produced -- from the writing and recording of the song to the animation. Very interesting!
