CHICAGO (CBS) — The people behind the YouTube channel "Barack's Dubs" somehow managed to splice together parts of the President's speeches, sync it up to music and make it look like he's singing "Uptown Funk" by Mark Ronson, featuring Bruno Mars. The song is a toe-tapping throwback to the 70's, paying homage to funk artists including James Brown, Trinidad James and Earth, Wind & Fire.
Barack's Dubs has already made President Obama "sing" other hit songs, including "Shake It Off" by Taylor Swift, "Fancy" by Iggy Azalea and "SexyBack" by Justin Timberlake. But this mashup is pretty popular. Since the video was uploaded on January 27, it's been viewed almost 1 million times.
