Will.i.am posts another Obama song with star-studded video on the Internet

Fri Feb 29, 11:00 AM PST

NEW YORK - Is will.i.am angling for a job in a Barack Obama White House?

The Black Eyed Peas frontman on Friday released another star-studded music video in tribute to the presidential campaign of the Democratic senator - this one is titled "We Are the Ones."

Backed by a simple vocal refrain of "O-BA-MA! O-BA-MA!," stars such as Jessica Alba, Ryan Phillippe, Kerry Washington, George Lopez and others explain why they support Obama while others such as Macy Gray croon the candidate's last name to the will.i.am-penned melody.

The song is a followup to his inspirational video "Yes We Can," a viral sensation that has garnered more than five million hits on YouTube.com alone. That song features Obama's voice from a New Hampshire concession speech set to will.i.am's music and melody, plus vocalizations of the speech from the likes of Scarlet Johansson, John Legend, Kate Walsh, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Herbie Hancock and other celebrity supporters. The chorus is one of Obama's campaign slogans: "Yes We Can."

The "We Are the Ones" video comes before Tuesday's Democratic primaries in Texas and Ohio. Obama is leading his rival, Democratic Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, in the delegate count for the nomination.
