It's election time, and you know that means theme songs. But a fun new phonomenon is that fans of candidates can make their own songs/videos and put them out to "support" the cause.
In fairness, the videos below shouldn't really be compared. One was produced by a very successful hip hop artist with celebrity friends. The other was produced by a computer geek/flute player in California. It's like LL Cool J versus your friendly community wedding band.
These two videos have been made into a story by NPR, and lots of people are seeing them. It's an unfair comparison, but in my humble opinion I think it resonates because it reflects the way a lot of younger people feel about the two candidates.
See for yourself.

My wedding band could kick that wedding bands azz.
Oh, and Hilary is the devil.
Two observations... (1) Scarlett Johanssen is hot, and (2) Hilary's song has inspired me to become jazzed about democracy.
