Snoop Dogg may not be the first person you think of when you think Obama and health insurance, but the #GetCovered campaign set out to change that with a spoof on the rapper’s hit song “Drop It Like It's Hot.”
The video uses a similar simple beat plus black and white video to pay homage to Snoop Dogg's hit, and as a backdrop to famed Barack Obama impersonator Iman Crosson rapping about health insurance exchanges.
Here’s a sample of the lyrics:
"I’m Commander in Chief and I’m two terms strong / Plus I’ve got this health care, which has got it going on"
“So don’t stand and diddle, my healthcare’s the ‘shizzle’ / It’s chock full of top notch healthcare ‘provizzles’ / We’ll cover all your ‘vizzles,’ your ‘dizzles,’ AND your ‘tizzles / Now while you figure that out, it’s back to that ‘chorizzle’”
“Pres and I’m the man, been Pres since ‘Yes We Can’ / And I dealt with all this healthcare while dealing with Iran”
The ad has over 1 million hits since its December release.
