There Is A "Bernie Bae" Music Video Now—& It's Catchier Than You Might Guess

[UglyGreed]

It's likely you're already familiar with the work of Leah Kauffman. The 29-year-old singer-songwriter was behind the 2007 viral video "I've Got A Crush...On Obama" (co-writing and singing the catchy tune) as well as previous gems like "My Box In A Box" and of course, "Still Got A Crush On Obama"
The original "Crush" has over 26 million views on YouTube, to date. President Obama responded to it during the campaign. And Julia Allison deemed it the number two meme of the last decade in Newsweek in 2010.


And this morning, Kauffman followed up with her thoughts on the 2016 race — in video form, of course — with the debut of "Bernie Bae." Yep, she's a fervent supporter of Bernie Sanders, and wants to further "the grassroots inertia that's pushing Senator Sanders' campaign forward" with the help of a team of Voguers, set designers, and more who all passionately #FeelTheBern. Featuring lyrical gems like "Talk Bernie to me" and "You're much more than a human Birkenstock," the song succinctly explains why Kauffman — and likely, many other voters in her cohort — feel inspired by the Vermont senator: "I was feeling so hopeless/ And so cynical/ Now you've got me focused/ Bernie you're a miracle."
