LOS ANGELES — In the long history of political-campaign theme songs, there has never been one quite like “Yes We Can,” starring Barack Obama and a host of celebrities.
For one thing, it’s more than a song — it’s a viral video hit with almost 1.9 million views on YouTube since it was posted Friday.
The Obama campaign did not commission the song. The rapper, songwriter and producer will.i.am, frontman for the Black Eyed Peas, says he was inspired to create it while watching Obama’s speech after his second- place finish to Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton in the New Hampshire primary.
