Voting Rights Music Video

Here's the music video that played right before Eleanor Holmes Norton was introduced at the DNC. The go-go style song, "Demand the Vote", was commissioned by DC Vote and written by D.C. musician Joe L. Da Vessel and the band Melodic. The video was directed by Warren Wesley at G-light Films.

is there a longer version of the video (that has the whole song in it)?

 

I was going to make a snarky "Eastern Motors" jingle joke, but this is a pretty good song. It has a good beat and you can think to it.

 

great song. my new ringtone.

 

This is the shortened clip that they played before her speech -- I'll see if I can get a hold of the entire video.

 

At DC voters, voters, your vote's your credit, credit..."

 

That's pretty great.

Also, what's great is that only in D.C. do the words "here" and "fair" rhyme.
