NOTE FROM HOLLY: Hard To Beat Obama came to me while having lunch at The Hilton in Atlantic City with my talented fellow celebrity impersonator Marva Scott and my equally talented cinematographer and director, Marco Antonio. I wanted to write a short skit about Hillary and her struggle to win the Democratic nomination over Barack Obama. I knew I was going to add Hillary to my list of 20 plus celebrity impersonations. I felt had had the guts and hips for it (well…almost!).  I started hearing the Donna Summer song in my head, “She Works Hard For The Money” and I figured it would make a good parody. After the song, I wrote the script over breakfast one morning. I’m Jewish and it goes without saying that all great ideas are born around food! Marva was on board to sing the song, along with the music man, Howard “Stro” Stroman. I enlisted the help of another buddy, Alex Adams, a dead on Rudy Giuliani impersonator. With permission from Moonstruck on 2nd in Manhattan, we camped out and filmed (also enjoyed an awesome meal!) in one day, finishing the editing by 10:30 PM! Hope it gives viewers a big laugh and takes some of the tension out of this race (um, no pun intended…)! THEME SONG LYRICS: So Hard To Beat Obama by Holly Faris (Sung to the tune of "She Works Hard for The Money" by Donna Summer and Michael Omartian) It's so hard to beat Obama I heard it from my Mama It's so hard to beat Obama So you better try to fight It's so hard to beat Obama I heard it from my Mama It's so hard to beat Obama So you better try to fight Way before he became the man And landed on the top It's freaky to her Cause she assumed she was Miss Everything He kicked butt and his polls shot up Now she's prayin for his fall It ain't lookin pretty Now Hilary is mad as hell Chorus Those years with Bill have come and gone And she's seen alot of tears She's forgived all his sins And horny Bill owes her big time They're lookin for dirt, while Bill chases skirts Did Obama girl and Barack just flirt Hopin they hooked up and crossed the line? Chorus The Polls they show she's seen her bad times Unless he goes, there ain't no good times Show us your stuff or you'll never win And Obama's reign will begin, It's so hard Chorus
