Ok, this is my first diary on Kos, so please forgive errors I make in length, correctness, etc. ok?
I have always loved the song "Rock the Boat" by the Hues Corporation, and have been humming the "Barack the Vote" tune in my head for days, so thought I would change the lyrics up a bit. Please read and let me know if I truly suck and should stay at my day job or if I can quit my job Monday and reap royalties and campaign for Obama full-time.
Again, my apologies if I'm breaking some rules here, just wanted to get this out. Have read kos daily for years so I don't go insane, and to get inspiration from you who do write. Long-time lurker, first-time caller kind of thing.
PS: Kudos to Rachel Maddow...Can't wait for her new show because she rocks.
So I'd like to know where, you got the notion
said I'd like to know where, you got the notion
Barack the vote, rock the vote baby
Barack the vote, let’s rock the vote hey ya!
Barack the vote, let’s rock the vote baby
Barack the vote-t-t-t-t
Ever since your voyage of hope began
your voice has thrilled us like the rush of the wind
and your strength has held us safe from a rolling sea
And you’ve always fought for a dream that we can truly feel
Our vote is like a ship on the ocean
we've been sailing with a cargo full of, hope and devotion
So I'd like to know where, you got the notion
said I'd like to know where, you got the notion
Barack the vote, let’s rock the vote baby
Barack the vote, let’s rock the vote hey ya!
Barack the vote, let’s rock the vote baby
Barack the vote-t-t-t-t
Up to now we sailed through every storm
and we've always had your ideals to keep us strong
oh we need to keep the strength that flows from you
don't let us drift away this time, when hope can see us through
Our vote is like a ship ...
