DeVore for California Campaign Announces 'Hope of November' Parody Song Contest

A few days ago I posted some Obama parody lyrics set to Don Henley’s “Boys of Summer” and am now formally soliciting the deep base of Big Hollywood talent to do a professional version of this parody. The campaign will have a contest and choose the parody effort posted on YouTube by April 6th.

In the spirit of April Fool’s Day, here’s our own attempt performed by the DeVore for California Director of New Media, Justin Hart, working entirely on his own time.

Obama’s “Hope of November” sung to the tune of Boys of Summer” with apologies to Don Henley:

Obama overload

Obama overreach

We feel it everywhere

Trillions in the breach

Empty bank, empty Street

Dollar goes down alone

Pelosi’s in the House

So we now all must atone

But we can see through-

Your broken promises oh One

You got your head cocked back and your teleprompter on, maybe

And can we tell you our love for you will still be strong

After the hope of November’s gone?

We never will forget those nights

We wonder if it was a dream

Remember how you made us crazy?

Remember how we made you beam

Now we do understand what happened to our love

Barack, we’re gonna cut no slack

We’re gonna show you what we’re made of

We can see through–

Your broken promises oh One

We see you talkin’ real slow and you’re smilin’ at everyone

Can we tell you our love for you will still be strong

After the hope of November’s gone?

Out on the road today, I saw a OBAMA sticker on a Cadillac

A little voice Inside my head said, “Don’t look back. You can never look back.”

We thought we knew what love was

What did we know?

Those days are gone forever

We should just let them go but-

We can see through-

Your broken promises oh One

You got that Rush pulled down and talk radio gone, maybe

And can we tell you our love for you will still be strong

After the hope of November’s gone?

We can see through-

Your broken promises oh One

You got your head cocked back and your teleprompter on, maybe

Can we tell you our love for you will still be strong

After the hope of November’s gone?
