From Ireland-President Obama's First Campaign Song for 2012


Corrigan Brothers the Irish band who have amassed over 7 million YouTube hits and charted all over the world with their 2008 hit "There's no one as Irish as Barack Obama" are back with a 2012 version of the song. Lead singer Gerard Corrigan explained "we received a number of calls from our American friends to think about updating the song for 2012 so we did just that. The band have had a very busy three years since their first hit, they have toured the USA, racked up over 40 tv appearances around the world and played at President Obama's inauguration. This new version of the song has already seen them invited to many campaign events later this year. Canon Stephen Neill and President Obama's cousin Henry Healy will join the brothers for a recording of a new video in Oliie Hayes's pub in Moneygall in early February. Lead singer Gerard Corrigan said, "we can't wait to get back to Moneygall and strut our stuff with the Obama dancers. We hope that the wonderful researcher Megan Smolenyak will also join us for an Irish Hooley! Our ambition is to play the song for President Obama when he finally visits his ancestral home in Moneygall Ireland”


Editors Note: When the Corrigan's first asked me to help with the original song how was I to know the idiot would beat Hillary to the White House. However they are a great band and I will continue to support them despite the politics.
Here is another of their songs
