      To be fair - I doubt very many people in the U.S. have ever heard Geoff Mack's original which listed Australian place names. Most Americans know the song because of Hank Snow's cover of a rewrite of the song from 1962. Without Snow's version, I expect the tune would be unknown outside Australia. Snow, was of course, Canadian.

      Johnny Cash performed it so beautifully... like all of the songs he covered, he chose tunes that really spoke to his experience. And he had definitely been everywhere, man.

      of the original song ("I've Been Everywhere") was recorded by Eugene Chadbourne in 1987. It uses place names from all over the world, not just the USA. It kicks the shit out of Hank Snow's version, Johnny Cash's version, and this video too.
      
      I'm an Obama supporter but I don't care for this song or video. It's lame and not very imaginative, just way too literal. The lyrics are obvious and the music sounds like a beer commercial. I'd like to see some genuine creativity applied to one of these campaign-video things for a change. So far, only Mike Gravel has been willing to experiment, video-wise.
      
      Yeah, I know I probably sound like one of those snobs. But it's not that. It's just that this Obama video is about the ten trillionth time I've heard a country-rock band play I-IV-V blues changes. Can't "progressives" come up with anything more interesting than this?

        No it isn't. (0+ / 0-)
        
        Honest, I'm not a snob. A snob would look down on people who like this video. I don't, not at all.
        
        I'm just saying it bored me. I couldn't even watch it all the way to the end. It doesn't get me excited about the campaign, or anything. I can't help it if I found it boring, even annoying. It just made me a bit sad. This video is very conservative.
        
        One of the problems we've got in this country is conformity and a resistance to change, right? So why is that anytime someone speaks up for trying a little harder, thinking out of the box, holding out for something more creative, people are always ready to line up for their chance to call that person a "snob"...or, worse yet, an "elitist"...?
        
        I am not a snob. Creativity is available to everyone, not just elites, not just "educated" people, not just aficionados. All it takes is a bit of openmindedness, that's all. But I guess that just scares some people.
        
        Then again, I don't know why so many people keep watching television, either. For example, every time I read another comment on this site complaining about what "Tweety" said, it seems to beg the obvious question: Why are you watching Tweety, anyway? Why are you watching television at all? But I guess only a snob would ask that question.
        
        Is this what's finally going to hold this country back from its real potential? Too many people afraid of being called snobs?

        a fun song that isn't boring, that has some genuine spirit to it. Remember the Obama video that appeared just before the Texas primary? The one with the mariachi band singing "Viva Obama?"
        
        That one was wonderful because it was a genuine song with some genuine spirit, obviously motivated by some genuine excitement about this candidate. It wasn't just a bunch of attention junkies trying to be cool.
        
        This video, on the other hand, just seems motivated by a desire to get some attention - a band hoping to get a lot of hits on YouTube and thus further their career. I find it boring, that's all. But if you feel differently, that's your right and I never said it wasn't.

He was naming off a bunch of places!! Isn't that what crazy Dean did in his scream speech? Is Obama crazy? Has he condemned this guy and Dean and other crazy people? Does he stand with real people in America or crazy people? That's the issue here!!!

The only place where Republicans are anywhere close to responsible is in the dictionary.

  ...so the question becomes, what did Obama know and when did he know it? Did he authorize the artist to make this song? Has the artist ever said or done anything that could be construed as inconsistent with Obama's policy platform? Is that goatee the first indicator of a conversion to Islam? The people must know! Pundits, get on it!

      I think it's interesting that there are a bunch of good, catchy Obama songs out there, ranging from really amazing, to fun and catchy, and well, I haven't seen anything from McClinton. It's Raining McCain really, really doesn't count.
