‘Barack Obama’s coming to town’

Jeff Langcaon, of Aiea, and his two daughters, Samantha and Katherine, created a video, called “Barack Obama’s coming to town,” to the Christmas tune of “Santa Claus is coming to town.”

The nearly 2-minute long video, with drawings and lyrics, is a tribute to the Hawaii-born president-elect, who began his 10-day winter vacation with his family in Kailua on Saturday.

“We had just been messing around and put the video together over the weekend,” Langcaon said this morning. “It took me a couple of minutes to draw the pictures and we just recorded the whole thing on Sunday evening.”

Check out the video here.

Obama Coming to Town

The lyrics:

Oh you better watch out
And open your eyes
Or you’ll be run down by TV news guys
Barack Obama’s coming to town

When he comes to Hawaii
He’ll go all around
Taking walks on the beach
And through Kailua town
Barack Obama’s coming to town

He comes for a vacation
From far across the sea
To do the things he just can’t do
In Washington, D.C.

He’ll eat a plate plate
He’ll get shave ice too
Walk with no shoes like locals all do
Barack Obama’s coming to town

If you should see him one day
Give him the “shaka” sign
I bet he’ll “shaka” you right back
Because Obama, he’s da kine

So you better watch out
He might be nearby
That Hawaii-born U.S. president guy
Barack Obama’s coming to town

    Hey, how could you have a power outage if Obama is on the scene? When he takes office the oceans will recede and the planet will be healed. Our enemies, charmed by Obama, will beat their swords into plowshares. So why didn’t you just ask him to take care of something trivial like a power outage. He’s got a cellphone…couple of calls should do it.
