Let's Go Surfing Lyrics
Wake up
It's a beautiful morning
Honey, while the sun is still shining
Wake up
Would you like to go with me?
Honey, take a run down to the beach
Obama
I wanna go surfing
Obama
I don't care about nothing
Wake up
There's a new kid in the town
Honey, he's moving into the big house
Remember
When I was so very hopeless
Darling, he's gonna make it all better
Obama
I wanna go surfing
Obama
I don't care about nothing
Down, down baby
Down by the rollercoaster
Sweet, sweet baby
I'll never let you go (X 4)
Obama
I wanna go surfing
Obama
I don't care about nothing
Obama
I wanna go surfing
Obama
I don't care about nothing
It's a beautiful morning
Honey, while the sun is still shining
Wake up
Would you like to go with me?
Honey, take a run down to the beach
I wanna go surfing
Obama
I don't care about nothing
There's a new kid in the town
Honey, he's moving into the big house
Remember
When I was so very hopeless
Darling, he's gonna make it all better
I wanna go surfing
Obama
I don't care about nothing
Down by the rollercoaster
Sweet, sweet baby
I'll never let you go (X 4)
I wanna go surfing
Obama
I don't care about nothing
I wanna go surfing
Obama
I don't care about nothing

It's most defiantly about Obama.
You're right, it is about Obama. I've seen the interview :-P

This might be a long shot but I think this song means that the they want to go surfing - but then I'm so very hopeless so who knows.
why does it have to be cynical? i heard the lead singer talking about the meaning of this song in a radio interview, they said it represented HOPE for obama and an end to the bush era...so not ironic at all?
The new kid in town moving into the big house is Obama! Then the songs a cynical look at the liberals belief that anything would change.
I don't mean to sound like a complete idiot, but I think the guy above me is right. I know it sounds ridiculous and stupid, but I think the chorus IS "OBAMA / I wanna go surfing." Otherwise what the hell does the second verse mean? It doesn't make any sense. He's moving into the house and gonna make it all better? They're ironically saying that Obama isn't going to solve everything/the fundamental problems with humanity. Pretty deep message for such a catchy pop song.
You have to be joking. My god, please say you're joking!

I'm not endorsing Glenn Beck here. But listen to the Knight School version of the song on YouTube and tell me it's not "Obama." Clearly a "b" sound, not an "m."

Perfect pop song
my god, could this song get any better. and the Knight School Remix of it is great aswell.. God Save The Preen, what do you mean by it's 'east coast'yness??
This song always makes me think of the Beach Boys' surfing songs. It sooo should have gotten higher in the triple j Hottest 100!
