Boy George Reveals Eyesore Video For New Obama Song

Thought Will.i.am and Ludacris recorded strange Obama songs? Well, Boy George has just dropped a video for his own Obama tribute “Yes, We Can.” The twitchy video looks like an animated version of the cover of M.I.A.’s Kala album, so you might be better off just averting your eyes and listening to the song. Also, Boy George inexplicably uses weird caricatures of David Bowie and Amy Winehouse. The song itself sounds like that “Feel the Love Generation” song we always hear at bars, with excerpts of Obama’s speeches interspersed between the chorus of Obama’s own slogan “Yes, We Can.” Unless there’s some Culture Club fan out there who was still undecided, we don’t think George’s “Yes, We Can” will be swaying any votes.

In other news: McCain just took the lead from Obama in the polls, the first time he’s been ahead in almost 9 months.

Coincidence?

Obama is behind because fools like Boy George are showing their support.
People just need to shut the F up and vote.

You do not need to be American to be inspired by an American… Nothing wrong with Boy George being inspired by Obama and showing his support… The song is catchy and the video is quite nice… Thumbs up for George, hopefully other people will be more open minded so that he’ll have a hit on his hands again… He deserves it…..

who cares what nationality Boy George is….US politics effects all of us. If he supports Obama than good. At least he has an opinion. Millions of people dont care or vote.
Yeah for those who do.
And yes I love the song.
