I'm doing the video for this song "Let's Change The World"...give it a listen

[zulchzulu]

The two main artists who wrote the song live in Madison and are from Africa originally... one from Nigeria and one from Mali. Between the two of them, they speak English, Spanish, French, Swahili and a dialect I can't remember at the moment. In other words, their perspective is a World view.

They came by the Obama table a few weeks ago and we chatted. Since I'm a film maker, we decided to do the tune to video. Lots of green screen where they play soccer with various words and other cool stuff. It will be done in a month or less. Stop by the Madison Obama table (which has a very prevalent DU sticker on it) this weekend where we will shoot video of them reacting with the crowd. If you want, PM me with video of you saying "Let's Change The World!" and I'll include it with credit.

Here's the tune in MP3 format:

Let's Change The World

I gotta story to tell...
Hear me out now...
Once upon a time...
A boy was born...
Just like moses of the old...
Destined 2 b...
The prince of peace...
Hope truth n justice...
A color blind cosmopolitan...
With no discrimination...
Charismatic personality...
I call him god sent...
Smart n wise at the very same time...
When he talks he knows...
New blood untainted...
By the corruption n greed of the new world order...
He is here 2 bring order back...
He is here 2 bring change...
What the world truly yearns for...
2 unite n break all tha chains of hate...
He is on time .....
perfect timing...
To bring a new dawn...a new begining...
For change….
change is coming tomorrow!!...

Chorus:
lets change the world... Change we can... If we only believe...x3...

Verse 2:
he is here 2 perfect...
The injustices or mr world police...
Who governs by iron fist...
Knows nothin but violence...
To further his influence...
And protect his interests...
While ignoring the rest of the world...
A lil history....
Where were u at mr first black president...
Maybe we should ask monica, bill clinton...
When all the rwandans die.....
800,000 poor souls..
Couldnt eat ma fish...
Wit bodies floating the lake...
Lake victoria...
U ignored the hutus n the tutsis...
Now all i hear today is sunnis n the shiites...
.......ooh i get it...
Its all about the oil....man...
N what about darfur...
U been turning away from...
The cries of the millions.....
Talk to me mr world police!!...
Thats why the world need change....
Thats why ...
the world needs obama!!!...
Repeat chorus: outro.......

So do you like the tune?

1. I uploaded the full song

For some reason, the version I uploaded wasn't the full version.

Enjoy!

2. I like it.

I'm not crazy about the song on its own. The tune is light (almost but not quite kiddie light), contrasting the lyrics. I need visuals for this one to pull it together. I may also be somewhat jaded by Will.i.am's music video.

No, I'm not a music critic, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

Thanks for sharing it ZZ. I look forward to seeing the video.

4. The video will be wackatoodle, bro

You should actually crank the tune. Plus the dudes will be playing green screen soccer with many elements in the lyrics.

The kind of music I used to hear at the Tiki bars when I lived in Florida.
