Song: "Yes We Can"
Artist: Will.i.Am, plus everybody in his Rolodex
Platform: As Will.i.Am explains on the song's official site, the Black Eyed Pea was so inspired by Obama's New Hampshire primary speech that he penned a simple acoustic melody, used the words from the speech and got a ton of guests (including John Legend, Scarlett Johansson and Common) to join him on the video, which has picked up over eight million views.
Awkward Rhyming? None.
Electoral Votes: 500. "Yes We Can" succeeds as an inspirational campaign tune, a pretty good pop song and an excellent viral video — a rare trifecta.
