Will Galison and I worked a couple months ago on alternative lyrics for the old Louis Jordan song "Choo Choo ChBoogie". Here is the result:
Takin’ it Back with Barack, Jack!
music: Louis Jordan words: Will Galison & Eyck Freymann
Hate to see the nation being run by a hack
Dig the situation that he dug in Iraq
Half the population wants to give him the sack
And now he’s lookin’ round for somebody else to attack
We need somebody great to get us back on the track
So we’re takin’ it back with Barack, Jack!
Choo Choo, Change to believe in
Woo woo, we can achieve it
Choo Choo, Change to believe in
Takin’ it back with Barack, Jack!
Now that global warming is a matter of fact
The only real question is just how to react
The new administration needs the guts to enact
Drastic legislation, leave the planet intact
We can’t be foolin’ round with some Republican Mac
So we’re takin’ it back with Barack, Jack!
Choo Choo....
He only gets his money from your regular macs
Doesn’t take a penny from some whackity PAC’s
For bringin’ folk together he’s the man with the knack
And he’ll supply the hope and inspiration we lack
Cause he’s the best we got and did I ….mention he’s black?
So we’re takin’ it back with Barack, Jack!

As a proud PC owner, that portion highly offended me. I may just have to vote for McCain (he might not use a computer, but if he were to I'm sure he'd use a good ol PC instead of your elitist celebrity Macs)
Does this really rhyme "Barack" with "Jack"? That hurts my brain.
[b@rak] vs. [dZ{k]
Does not compute. (No pun intended, given the previous post.)
