A video of only Hank's pro-Obama parody of the Llama Song, posted 'by popular demand' (description) and looped for the whole runtime: it urges a vote for Barack Obama, mocks the outgoing president and Cheney, and asks for change.

What is said

00:00:00 — Pro-Obama parody of the Llama Song, repeated over and over

  • ★★★ The song urges listeners to vote for Barack Obama, wishes him luck and says he will be the next president. (playful) — 00:00:02 · Barack Obama
  • ★★ The song says 'we' are tired of the current president, whom everyone hates, and that he is leaving town (surrounding lyrics garbled). (playful) — 00:00:02 · George W. Bush
  • ★★ The song says Republicans claim to want change but then want to stay the same; the singer will vote neither left nor right, only for change. (playful) — 00:00:26 · Republican Party

Humor (dominant)

  • Listing the current administration's failings, the song adds a jab at the vice president. — 00:00:02 > «Cheney shot his friend»
  • As the current president leaves town, the song imagines his retirement. — 00:00:02 > «Time for him to return now and become a duck»
  • The Llama Song's counting chorus is rewritten as a pro-Obama campaign chant. — 00:00:26 > «One Obama, Two Obama, Three Obama, Four Obama, Hot Obama, Vote Barack Obama»
  • The singer complains that Republicans say they want change. — 00:00:26 > «Then they want to stay the same and then it hurts my brain»
