The Presidents of the United States of America Rock the New PokeRap

[Phantomess]

... I sat here and dredged up the memory of the final verse. I now have it in my head. Well played, Mr. Funk. Well played.

But a new pokerap? Sounds cool. But consider how many episodes you'd need to get through the ENTIRE roster!

 

[chstens]

Oh... I was disappointed when I realised you were'nt talking about Barack Obama.

 

[V8 Ninja]

At first I thought this was about the ACTUAL presidents of the United States singing a fan-made Poke-rap. Now I am sad. =(

As for the song, its catchy. I'm not really sure if it's good, but it's catchy as all hell. Oh, the song's chorus describes perfectly why I don't play the Pokemon games: "Can't stop catching them all! Can't stop catching them all! Can't stop catching them all!", ad nauseum.

Weird Al did a Pokerap? o_0

 

[Jabberwock xeno]

That's not a Pokerap!

Hell, Charlie the Unicorn 3 had a better pokerap in it, and it didn't even have Pokemon!

 

[Not G. Ivingname]

Admitably, I my first thought was "Obama is doing WHAT?"

 

[twaddle]

Very misleading article title. Was expecting Barack Bill and what ever the that twits name was in the last US administration

 

[Asuka Soryu]

This came immediately to my mind when I read the title.

 

[War Penguin]

Holy crap! The Presidents of the United States of America are still around? Hell yeah!

Too bad the song is a little on the "meh" side. But I think that's because I don't remember a single one of those pokemon. I think I heard Charmander somewhere but...

 

[bakonslayer]

PUSA and Pokemon together is like Cream Cheese and Peanut Butter. A thing that never should have been together but only because the divine creator has a sense of humor does it actually exist.

But really... It makes sense. Their style of songwriting and VERY commonly a grunge-rock jabber relating nature to the human experience straight from Seattle. If you think about it, it was only a matter of time. Mind-blown.

Also, to defend the lyrics for a second. About the comment on Galvantula, I think that PUSA's line the most apt comment they could have made about it. Galvantula's most dominant feature is that it is an Electric/Bug! Such an awesome typing!

 

[Thorvan]

This song is AWESOME. What a perfectly adorable thing to release the game with.

 

[Alon Shechter]

Oh. Meh.
I thought Obama was doing something video game related, so I can give a middle finger to those arses that want to stop video gaming.

 

[Tom Phoenix]

Wait....The Presidents of the United States of America is an actual band? When I saw the title of this news post, I thought it was about a bunch of guys dressed up like famous US presidents and singing about Pokémon.

 

[DTWolfwood]

great title XD here i was expecting Obama to pokerap! i would pay money for that XD {plural be damned!}

Yeah further proof that the original 150 pokemon are the best .<

 

[Kross]

The Presidents are amazing! Philistines!

Outside of Lump and Peaches, there was this great cover [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wAiGd9nTGmM], being chased by 30 foot Smurfs [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHPkLuVBQ1Y] (well, 'smirks', but I prefer 'Smurfs').

And then there's just being nice [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cf-wlvo8vak].

 

[robert022614]

i like pot USA, but i dont know about this song.

 

[Twilight.falls]

Pft, I bet I could name all 649 Pokemon without help!

...

...

...

It would take a while though.

Also, "Braviary is not afraid" immediately brought Lenny Bruce to mind.

Edit: I too, thought that several presidents of America came together to sing about Pokemon. My dreams were shattered.
