“I Want Barack” Gives World A Will.I.Am-Free Obama Tribute

Twisted Sister guitarist Jay French released his Obama-endorsing remake of “I Wanna Rock”–which, as you might expect, is called “I Want Barack”–just now, and it sounds like, um, a political Twisted Sister song: It’s got an anthemic chorus that’ll no doubt stir up any crowd it’s played to and some clunky lyrics. But then again, who listened to Twisted Sister for the poetic aspects? After the jump, an ad hoc version of a TS Obama tribute supplied by a mysterious YouTube user who had a copy of Twisted Sister: The Video Years, Windows Media Player, and a few minutes of free time on his hands. That should satisfy those of you who can’t hear the opening of “I Wanna Rock” without thinking about the plight of defenseless textbooks.
