Unelectable recorded.

Just for fun a few days ago I posted a satiric re-write of the Nat King Cole song "Unforgettable" called "Unelectable" - about Obama's prospects in a General Election. Over the weekend Gina over at HillaryClintonForum.com sent me word that a person named Lisa V. had recorded it. Check it out here. It is a delight.

Rewritten lyrics here with apologies to Irving Gordon, who wrote this classic.

Unelectable, that's what you are
Unelectable, your past is just too bizarre
That whiff of smug that clings to you
Your mentor has become the big issue
Never before have you been more,
Unelectable, in every way
And forever more, that's how you'll stay
That's why, Barry, it's incredible
That you've become so unelectable.
Super delegates want a winner,
Not you.

Unelectable, that's what you are...

Unelectable, that's what you are

A song for Senator Obama to be sung to to the tune of Nat King Cole's "Unforgettable"

Unelectable, that's what you are
Unelectable, your past is just too bizarre
That whiff of smug that clings to you
Your mentor has become the big issue
Never before have you been more,
Unelectable, in every way
And forever more, that's how you'll stay
That's why, Barry, it's incredible
That you've become so unelectable.
Super delegates want a winner,
Not you.

Unelectable, that's what you are...
