Interview with Will.i.am about celeb-filled music Yes We Can
Uploaded by: supafly2380
Video Description:
Song from Black Eyed Peas' will.i.am Inspired by Obama Speech.
Celebrity-filled music videos have been used to support many social movements, from famine relief for Africa, to support for American farmers, to opposition to apartheid in South Africa.
But rarely have celebrities and musicians banded together to create new music in the heat of a presidential campaign.
The Black Eyed Peas' frontman, songwriter and producer known as will.i.am, along with director and filmmaker Jesse Dylan, son of another socially active musician, Bob Dylan, released a new song Friday that attempts to do just that.
The music video "Yes We Can" premiered on ABCNewsNow's "What's the Buzz" on Friday. It was inspired, will.i.am told ABC's Alisha Davis, by Sen. Barack Obama's presidential campaign and in particular by the speech he has gave after the New Hampshire primary.
The music video includes excerpts from the Obama speech and appearances from a range of celebrities including: Scarlett Johansson, John Legend, Herbie Hancock, Kate Walsh, Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Adam Rodriquez, Kelly Hu, Adam Rodriquez, Amber Valetta and Nick Cannon.

Harry could you please come home
Things are looking bad
I know you would be mad
To see Obama lie and
Prevail upon the land you love
Americas wondering
How we got here

Anti-American who'd sell us out
To get himself a piece of power

Will-i-am is so articulate about his passion! Did you guys hear about Obama getting Al Gore to help educate the world on Global Warming, wow! Maybe he can get Michael Moore to be the Ambassador to Canada or Cuba, where he is loved. Viva La Revolution!!
