Also an appropriate Obama Victory song.

The Drums – Let’s Go Surfing

Listen for this line:

“Oh, mama, I want to go surfing.” It sounds an awful lot like: “Obama,” eh?

Amazing. And Hilarious.

More lyrics:

Wake up
There’s a new kid in the town
Honey, he’s moving into the big house
Remember
When I was so very hopeless
Darling, he’s gonna make it all better
