Yet another germ of a song idea....

[poltr1]

I'm surprised no one has picked up on this already. The name "Barack Obama" scans well to "La Bamba". The problem is, I haven't been able to come up with any more words, other than his name.

Sing it with me!

Ba-ba-ba-rack Obama
Ba-ba-ba-rack Obama
(more words here)

Chorus:
Ba-rack Obama
Ba-rack Obama
Ba-rack Obama
Ba-rack Obama

This is typical for me. I come up with an embryo of an idea, and it never develops into a full-fledged song. I tend to hoard these ideas, lest someone steal them. I have enough ideas to fill a notebook or two. Sometimes, by the time I develop a song, it's dated and obsolete. For example, I want to rework "Me And Mrs. Jones" from the POV of one Bill Clinton regarding one Paula Jones, completre with saxophone solo. But by now, it's old news.

Actually, Rush Limbaugh did the latter a while back.

In the case of the current idea, you need to think about what you want to say. If you know what you want to say in the song, the words will start to show up.
