Will.I.Am remixes Obama on YouTube and gets 1m+ views in two days

02/05/2008 by simoncollister 1 Comment

It’s not often you see the name of Black-Eyed Peas front-man Will.I.Am appear in the subject line of an email from the UK and Ireland E-Democracy mailing list.

But tonight, there he is….. courtesy of a YouTube video he put together. The video features footage of Barack Obama’s New Hampshire Primary "Yes We Can" speech cut up and put to music.

Good example of mixing celebrity, pop culture and politics. It’s not the *best* track in the world but it’s a succeeded in getting 1m+ views in two days. See for yourself:
