"You can vote however you like!"
A group of sixth and seventh graders are getting out the vote in style. Hip-hop style that is. Their hymn to the political process, a parody of T.I’s “However You Like,” has swept across the Internet over the past few days, amassing nearly 300,000 hits on YouTube and booking them upcoming appearances on ABC's Good Morning America and BET's 106 & Park.
The students at Ron Clark Academy in Atlanta, Georgia wrote the lyrics and choreographed the dance on their own. After learning of their performance, T.I. himself stopped by the school.
Their rap, in which half the group extols McCain's merits while the other half backs Obama, shows a savvy grasp of the campaign's messages. Check out some of the lyrics below and a clip of the talented – and, yes, adorable – crew performing their lively song.
Obama on the left
McCain on the right
We can talk politics all night
And you can vote however you like
You can vote however you like, yeah
Democratic left
Republican right
November 4th we decide
And you can vote however you like
You can vote however you like, yeah
(McCain supporters)
McCain's the best candidate
With Palin as his running mate
They'll fight for gun rights, pro life,
The conservative right
Our future is bright
Better economy in site
And all the world will feel our military might
(Obama supporters)
But McCain and Bush are real close right
They vote alike and keep it tight
Obama's new, he's younger too
The Middle Class he will help you
He'll bring a change, he's got the brains
McCain and Bush are just the same
You are to blame, Iraq's a shame
Four more years would be insane
Lower your Taxes - you know Obama Won't
PROTECT THE LOWER CLASS - You know McCain won't!
Have enough experience - you know that they don't
STOP GLOBAL WARMING - you know that you won't
