BARACK OBAMA'S
AMERICAN RHAPSODY

Bohemian Rhapsody meets Capitol Hill!

The idea came to me while taking a shower, of course. Replace 'Mama' with 'Obama'... I had just seen Barack's '60 Minutes' interview, which made an impact on me. That combined with my love of 'Wayne's World' and we arrive at this parody.

It stars me.  I am not embarrassed by it.

The video was produced for the now-defunct comedy troupe I co-founded, The Alliterates. Mandy Levy, a naturally-gifted lyricist (and the other half of the troupe) wrote all the words.

It was conceived when Barack was still the underdog and filmed during the primaries. Also, it was made before we saw "Obama Girl". I feel that's important to mention.
