Music video: Superdelegate (It’s Not Easy)

By Michelle Malkin  •  February 15, 2008 09:41 AM

John Ondrasik of Five for Fighting will probably kill me, but I rewrote the lyrics to his famous ballad, “Superman (It’s Not Easy)” to capture Hillary Clinton’s plight. (The latest: Clinton Camp May Regret Largely Turning Its Back on Caucus States). We have just posted our Hot Air music tribute to her. Enjoy the video and feel free to sing along and do your best fake Hillary sob:

Superdelegate (It’s Not Easy)
The Ventilators
Lyrics, piano, and Hillary impersonation: Michelle Malkin
Video production: Bryan Preston

I can’t stand to lose
I’m not going to quit
If Democrats don’t choose
Me, Bill will throw a fit

I’m more than Barack, I’m the real change
More than some pretty face and funny name
It’s not easy to be me

Think I’ll fake a cry
Right up here on stage
You know it’s a lie
‘Cuz I’m really full of rage

It may sound absurd, but I’ve got to believe
I am going to retake the lead
I’m falling behind but I will not concede
Even Clintons have the right to dream
It’s not easy to be me

Obama’s pulling away…away from me
And it’s not right…gotta fly to Texas tonight
And win Ohio…Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Hawaii, Wyoming, Mississippi, Puerto Rico, West Virginia, Kentucky, Oregon, Montana, South Dakota. …and Wisconsin…

I can’t stand to lose
I’m not going to quit
I am going to bribe
The superdelegates

I’m more than Barack, I’m the real change
More than some pretty face and funny name
I’m only a gal in a crusty pants suit
Looking for Democrats who’ll vote for me…Vote for Hillary –ee Vote for Hillary

I’m only a gal with a bogus tear streak
Only a gal who is gonna be beat
I’ll be your Barack, please, please, please elect me.
It’s not easy, oh..oh..oh
It’s not easy to be me..

    cpodug,

    Can we change you moniker to “suck-up”? LOL After today and yesterday, I am worried you are getting to be a groupie! ;)

    Thanks DaveC at #1. My thought as well.

    AJ, ready for a troll hunt? I am bored. Nothing to do. Finished all my jobs and had to drop by.

    Hillary cried and lied,
    all bill can do is spout…
    in the end it’s an Obama rout,
    you know deep down she’s in a rage,
    should have put hubby in a cage,
    the people have seen through you phony facade,
    we can care less if you cry it just makes you look odd,
    When all said is done and you’re no longer a threat,
    just go listen to billy play Hsu’s clarenet,
    you’re million ideas America dont need it,
    you wont be elected so you can bleed it,
    you as President would be a disaster,
    plus your make up artist would run out of plaster.

    Cool video. Actually the song that I was thinking of was Bruce Springsteen’s “Downbound Train”. I can think of Hillary singing: “Don’t you think I’m a rider on a downbound train”.

    Anyone know about the story out of Kentucky, regarding Ronald Edwards, imperial wizard of the KKK? I heard he said, “Anything is better than Hillary Clinton”, and his group is supporting Obama. If true, it would be a first: The KKK supporting a black presidential candidate.

    I sure wish it was just a straight music video (yeah, yeah, oxymoron) — I would rather see Michelle singing this whole song without any of the windbag from the south.

    I thought I heard a barely restrained giggle in the next to last verse.

    Michelle, if you make a second version for me, remember the candelabrum. Goth make-up would be a hoot too.

    Yeah, it’s a hoax/satire piece. Please don’t post such nonsense on a reputable blog! Funny though, in an Onion sort of way.

    A day late and a dollar short Former President Clinton weighs in on, the Olbermann, Pimping General Patraeus comment. This response should be coming from his wife Senator Hillary Clinton, it is Sen Clinton if elected, that would be Commander and Chief of General David Patraeus. The Chain of command is only as strong as it’s weakest link. Senator Clinton, READY DAY ONE, to lead your loved ones serving our Country?
