Student who put his candidate in a song wants autograph, too

Hey there, Obama, this 12-year-old wants your autograph.

But it's not just any old autograph he's seeking.

Chaz got a detention for singing without his teacher's permission a parody supporting Sen. Barack Obama.

Now he wants the presidential candidate to sign that detention slip as a memento.

"Hey there, Obama" lyrics

(Parody of "Hey there, Delilah" by the Plain White T's)

Hey there Obama

What's it like in Washington, D.C.?

You want to be the president

And that would make history

Yes it would

I think you should be the president

Yes you should

I know that you could

Hey there Obama

I think you're super awesome

And everyone else is terrible

So you have to beat them

Oh now yes you do

You'll probably get sponsored by Nike shoes

So don't get the blues

Oh forget Hillary

I watch you on the T.V.

Oh it's time for democracy

And you will win probably

Will win probably

Hey there Obama

Don't you worry about Miss Clinton

She's not the one the country loves

And let's hope they don't grant her wishes

If you know what I mean

So let's go get some ice cream

And a beef supreme

Hey there Obama I am not a creepy stalker

I agree with your morals

And you're very good at soccer

Yes you are

Barack Obama superstar

Bet you have a nice car

Oh forget Hillary

I watch you on the TV

Oh it's time for democracy

And you will win probably

Will win probably

November is pretty far

And I don't care what color you are

Or even that your middle name's Hussein

The senator from Illinois should be screaming 'White House ahoy'

Because he's the best candidate for me

The Republicans will shed a tear because Barack Obama will win this year

And the whole wide world will never be the same

George Bush was lame

(Wait what?)

Yeah I said it

Hey there Obama

You're the last hope for this country

Eight long years of pure happiness

And you'll be written into history

Like you should

First Tuesday of November will be your day

The commander in chief you will stay

Hey there Obama

Here's to you

This song's for you

Oh forget Hillary

I watch you on the TV

Oh it's time for democracy

And you will win probably

Will win probably

Mr. Barack Hussein Obama

The video now has almost 9,000 views! Let's hope Chaz gets the chance to meet Obama and get that detention slip signed. Who knows, maybe it will happen on Oprah!

2. It's nice to be reminded of a lighter, more innocent side of politics.

With as awful this election has become, I hope that Obama sees this video and that it gives him a lift.

Very cute vid. He actually has another video as president Bush's response to the Hey There Obama video. Very Funny.

Oh ps. the line about Obama playing soccer is printed wrong, it's actually "And you are a very good talker." Just thought you'd like to know.

[Cha]

10. Thanks and Welcome

to DU, CES!

[Barack_America]

11. That's what I thought!.....and WELCOME!! And first post too, I'm so honored!

When I read it I thought, "That's funny, I thought he said 'good talker'". The lyrics were from the article, so I figured they were right and I was wrong.

[Cha]
