Barack and the Kidz
If you were born before 1985, when you hear the phrase "Kids in the Hall," you probably think of the semi-popular 80's T.V. show. So last week when we got a press release about Kidz in the Hall, we just thought some wacky kids just couldn't spell.
We were wrong! Kidz in the Hall is a local rap group who were lucky enough to have their song "Work to Do" chosen as a theme song for the Barack Obama campaign. The song, a self-proclaimed anthem that contains a philosophy about how to approach life in general, is a feel good ditty about how we can all make a change for the better, complete with a few shout outs to the junior Senator himself. MC Naledge, a member of the group, says Obama "embodies everything that is promising for the future of our nation and represents the hope I sought to speak on in the song."
Hey, it's no "Crush on Obama," but it sure beats the pants off that effing Celine Dion song Hillary's using.
Visit Kidz in the Hall's Myspace page to hear the song. Tell us what you think.

Does said song cheerfully explain why his "universal" health care plan isn't universal?
Does anyone remember that Black Eyed Peas spoof they did on 96.3 when Obama was running for Senate?
Spook to Chicagoist, Spook to Chicagoist, there are more democratic candadites than O'Bama and Clinton, Spook to Chicagoist, Over? Copy?
p.s like John Edwards!
Do you mean "Democratic Canidates" or "VIABLE Democratic Canidates"?
'Cause I know someone that's yet to wash the Cub-esque stench of John Kerry Failure off of himself yet.
An MC wants to call himself "MC Knowledge," so he spells it "Naledge"? Awesome.
yo son, I knew a MC from Queens, called him self knowledge-Born, son, cause that just how he rolled son. But that was back in the days when your Spook could be found in the 718 son and he took the Number Two train kids, Brooklyn kid,what chew know bout that!
Now excuse me, the Spook is the only one here now cause its called a work ethic, son. Now I'm closing up shop, turn the lights off. Hop the old blue, walk the dog and get my swirve on. See yall when I see yall, monday
