Every once in awhile, there is a reply on a thread that is deserving of a thread of its own. Such is the case here. In response to my suggestion that the lyrics of "I Don't Know How To Love Him" should be updated for Barack Obama, Charles Henrickson came up with this masterpiece.

This song parody needs to be spread far and wide until it is played on the radio airwaves. Freepers, let the cyberworld know about this most PERFECT of all song parodies!

Oops! Mispelled Henrickson. My bad. Hey, happens to me with my last name all the time.

It does deserve its own thread!

Thanks, PJ! Here is the song with a link to a MIDI, so you can sing along!

I DON'T KNOW WHY I LOVE HIM
(From the musical, "Barack Obama Superstar")
Tune: "I Don't Know How to Love Him"

I don't know why I love him,
My Barack, my Obama;
I've been charmed, yes really charmed,
By his trim physique, so slim and sleek--
I'm awed by his mystique.

I don't know why he's running,
I don't see any substance;
No real plan, flash in the pan,
And I've heard such empty words before
That when I close my eyes
He's just a bore.

But I like his face,
And I like his voice;
Makes my heartbeat race!
Makes me feel all moist!
I never thought I'd come to this:
Obama is my choice.

Don't you think it's rather shallow
I should vote for this fellow?
I'm the one who's always been
So pure, so pissed, so feminist;
I don't need men, oh no--
He scares me so.

But I like his face,
And I like his voice;
Makes my heartbeat race!
Makes me feel all moist!
I never thought I'd come to this:
Obama is my choice.

Yet, like in a romance novel,
I'm in love with a male model;
I've got to look! He signed my book!
My heart runs wild! I'll bear his child!
I want the world to know:
He's my "Big O"!
Obama, go!
I love you so!
