French Musicians to Compose Obama’s 2012 Anthem
le Figaro in English ^ | January 10 2012 | Brenna M. T. Daldorph

Posted on 01/10/2012 8:39:12 PM PST by Cincinna

Two young French songsters from Bordeaux have been chosen to write the official song of the 2012 Obama campaign for reelection.

The song entitled What More is scarcely finished. Yet beginning in March, it will become the official hymn of the Barack Obama campaign.

Obama chose two young French musicians, Tony Jazz and Mathieu Billon, to create a song that would rejuvenate his image 

“It is a song directed at young people,” said Tony Jazz.

The song itself is composed from American soul singer Al Green’s song What More Do You Want From Me integrated with clips of Obama’s speeches.

This is not a story of connections in the right places, it is simply a story of talent. Jazz became a fan of Obama starting with the democratic primaries of 2008. When Obama finally won the election, Jazz decided to create a clip commemorating the event.

The clip made it all the way to the White House and meant that the young musician was able to meet with Charles Rifkin, the US ambassador in France. Shortly after, Tony Jazz was contacted by the Barack Obama campaign.

This is not an American President, but an Internationalist. Can't imagine JFK or Ronald Reagan outsourcing their campaigns. BUY AMERICA, BARRY!

Not really. But you have to excuse me, I’m having an attack of la nausée.

Hmm, a little Soviet marshall band mixed with post-modern grunge nihilism, a violin playing something reminiscent of the Godfather theme, with car crashes in the background.

And I thought Obama's theme song was The Internationale.


NOBAMA 2012

Nothing about Obama is genuine or original. Everything is fake. Everything is stolen.

Steam wrote the Obama 2012 anthem back in 1969.

The source lyrics: Al Green’s song What More Do You Want From me...

What More Do You Want From Me lyrics
What more do you want from me?
I’ve just ‘bout given you all of me
More than your eyes can see
After all I’ve done for you
Oh baby, you gave me too, oh

What more do you want from me?
What more do you want from me?
What more do you love about me?
After all you’ve done for me
I love you, yes sirree, oh

I’ve tried to do my best, girl yeah
We can stand the test
Oh and forget all about the rest
Good love is more than true
Oh baby, I just guess for me and you, oh

What more do you want from me?
What more do you want from me?
What more do you love about me?
After all you’ve done for me
I love you, yes sirree, oh

You’ve won, you’ve won my heart baby
Where do, where do we start?
What more do you want from my heart?
After all you’ve done for me, oh baby
I love you, yes sirree, oh

What more do you want from me?
What more do you want from me?
What more do you love about me?
After all you’ve done for me
I love you, yes sirree, oh

Think about it baby
What more?
Think about it baby
What more?
Think about it baby, oh

Should have been Elton John. Not only is he just as ridiculous as these two frogs, but he’s LGBT, too! This could have gotten 100% of the Gay Marriage Vote for The Mombasa MF. (he’s only got 99.5% of them now)!

“What More Do You Want From Me?”

Your resignation. Plain and simple.
