    "Loves Me Like Barack" ... With all the comparsions flying around in the news, I thought I would post this piece and alter the title a wee bit. Here are the lyrics:

    When I was a little boy, (when I was just a boy)

    And the devil would call my name (when I was just a boy)

    Id say now who do,

    Who do you think youre fooling? (when I was just a boy)

    Im a consecrated boy (when I was just a boy)

    Im a singer in a sunday choir

    Oh , my mama loves, she loves me

    She get down on her knees and hug me

    Like she loves me like a rock

    She rocks me like the rock of ages

    And loves me

    She love me, love me, love me, love me

    (continued)

      When I was grown to be a man (grown to be a man)

      And the devil would call my name (grown to be a man)

      Id say now who do,

      Who do you think youre fooling? (grown to be a man)

      Im a consummated man (grown to be a man)

      I can snatch a little purity

      My mama loves me, she loves me

      She get down on her knees and hug me

      Like she loves me like a rock

      She rocks me like the rock of ages

      And loves me

      She love me, love me, love me, love me

      And if I was president (was the president)

      The minute congress call my name (was the president)

      Id say who do,

      Who do you think youre fooling? (who do you think youre fooling)

      Ive got the presidential seal (was the president)

      Im up on the presidential podium

      My mama loves me

      She loves me

      She get down on her knees and hug me

      Like she loves me like a rock

      She rocks me like the rock of ages

      And loves me

      Fade out:

      She love me, love me, love me, love me

      (loves me like a BARACK)

              I think Obama's campaign manager should get permissioin to change "rock" to "Barack" in the lyrics and to adopt it for their campaign song. If you agree, let me know. We'll send it over to their people and then see if it baracks.

                  Remember that in 2004 the Bush campagn started using "Still the One" by Orleans. Turns out that the writer, who still had copyright rights, was a loyal Democrat. That particular usage went down in flames; polite, but flames nonetheless.

                  Ineresting comparison and conversion.

                  I don't know about OBama the candidate but the song works.

                  Give it a try Spade.

                    I love that song! Thanks for the submission, and remember everyone, the country is past alot of its racism. I think Barack coming as far as he is proof of that. He's getting a very fair election despite what Clinton tries! Ahhh well, sorry I've not been responding to alot of these submissions lately Spade, been meaning to but not had the time with classes and I tend to spend a few hours everyday with my ex as well.
