Singer Ray Stevens Grabs Headlines With His New Song

American country music singer Ray Stevens has been creating quite a buzz lately with his latest song “We the People”, which has gained widespread popularity across various quarters. Moreover, the track where the singer expresses his concern about ‘Obamacare’, is all set to become the anthem of the Tea Party movement.

The song “We the People” mainly focuses on the health-care reform bill and in his own distinct musical style, the veteran singer highlights the growing frustration of the people against the bill that has been passed by both houses of Congress. Although the song has comical connotations, it comes across as a warning to the congress members and implies that the Americans have awakened to the tricks that are undertaken to fool the public. Moreover, the song also goes on to say that the public would vote out politicians who express their support for the heath-care reform bill.

In a recent interview, the 70 year old musician has expressed his views that the heath care reform bill as well as the climate change legislation are attempts that are being made by President Obama to control the nation. However, the veteran singer has added that the anti-heath care reform track highlights his own personal beliefs.

At the same time, the song which also has an interesting video, has received immense attention among netizens as around 1.2 million people have supposedly viewed the video online at YouTube in just over a period of two weeks.

Ray Stevens is a much acclaimed country music singer and songwriter who shot to fame with his novelty songs which became immensely popular among the masses.

Hey, I would have posted it, even if he was PRAISING the Health Care bill!

I think he's going out on a limb a little here.

It may backfire, but hey... hard to call Ray Stevens a relative force in the Music Industry, ya know?

He's probably stoked that his name is back out there... AT ALL!!!

He looks like he might die before the video is over! :shock:

LOL :lol:
