Obama's Big "Eggo"

President Barack Obama is no stranger to the music and entertainment world. In fact you can thank his historic quest to presidency for shifting the hot subjects in popular music from "sex, drugs, and money" to "pride in the newly elected president, sex, drugs, and money". While I understand the social importance of "My President is Black" by Young Jeezy, "We Are The Ones" by Will.I.Am, and "My President is Black" by Young Jeezy (the Alvin and the Chipmunks Version , I think some recording artists have gone too far with their musical odes to Obama.

Recently, Beyonce' seems to be the biggest offender; rumors have been circulating around the internet that shortly after finding out Barack Obama enjoys a waffle every morning for breakfast she was overcome with inspiration and decided to write a song about it. Beyonce' spent many hours working on a song that would properly honor the 44th President of the United States' favorite breakfast item. The song was originally titled "Eggo" and described in great depth what makes his favorite frozen waffle brand so delicious.

The majority of the song is about the President's daily request for only the biggest of Eggo waffles ("He got a big Eggo, such a big Eggo, I love his big Eggo") and his ability to speak well in public ("He talks like this 'cus he can back it up"). But it doesn't end there, Beyonce' even draws from some of her own experience with waffles. According to Beyonce', when she was a young girl she would have one heck of a time getting the frozen waffle into the toaster--this is where the lyrics "It's too big, it's too wide, it's too strong, it won't fit, it's too much, it's too tough" come from. While many of her and "Bam's" loyal fans really enjoyed the warm and buttery tune, the "big wigs" at Columbia Records did not share their affinity. Although Beyonce' lobbied for the support of Columbia Records, it appeared that they would not "waffle" on their decision not to support the song. Beyonce', being the professional that she is, decided that she would just have to respect the wishes of her record company and did her best to change "Eggo" into a song Columbia would be proud of.

When Columbia was finished trampling all over Beyonce's artistic integrity all that was left of the delicious little ditty was the song "Ego", a dirty, unwholesome song that would even make Prince himself sick to his stomach. Below is a video for the song "Ego". Warning: it is not for the weak hearted, strong moraled, or patriotic.



America, yes we can?
