We were reminded this morning that DC Vote’s music video, which we showed you just a short part of when it was previewed at the Democratic National Convention, was released in its entirely two weeks ago. You can download both the video and the song, which was written by Joe L. Da Vessel and Melodic, directly from DC Vote’s web site.

Here’s what was missing from the 60-second compilation we saw earlier:

• An introduction set inside a local classroom, featuring Shadow Sen. Michael Brown visiting students to talk about voting rights, but being upstaged by a kid who has already connected all the voting rights dots: he has a brother who recently returned injured from Iraq.
• Hilarious glamour shots of Shadow Sen. Paul Strauss, nodding in approval with the go-go beat.
• A few other cameos of D.C. officials and voting rights activists, including Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton, D.C. Council chairman Vincent Gray, and DC Vote director Ilir Zherka. Not featured that we could see: Shadow Rep. Mike Panetta.
• A kind of weird CGI Donkey and Elephant fist-bumping each other in agreement on the steps of the Capitol.
• The line “I know this is delicate/but I could go to war and all I get is a shadow delegate” is delivered directly to Shadow Sen. Brown, despite the fact that he’s not the Shadow Rep. We guess “senator” is hard to rhyme.
• Another line gives a nod to the message of the voting rights incrementalists: “We can do it if we stand together/at least one vote would make it so much better.”

Overall, we really enjoyed the video. It’s an undeniably catchy song (“D.C. we demand the vote, D.C we demand the vote, tell Congress!”), it offers lots to smile about for locals, and it seems like as good a way as any to quickly get the message out there to the 80 percent of Americans who don’t know the District lacks voting representation in Congress.
