Set to the tune of Peter, Paul and Mary's 'Puff the Magic Dragon', the song 'Barack the Magic Negro' was included in the CD sent by Tennessee Republican Chip Saltsman to his committee members as a Christmas present.
Saltsman, who is a candidate for the Republican National Committee (RNC) chairmanship,
defended on CNN that it was clearly intended as a joke.
'Barack the Magic Negro' was first played in Rush Limbaugh show last September.

Here's a video of the song with lyrics below:
Barack the Magic Negro lives in D.C.
The L.A. Times they called him that
'Cause he’s not authentic like me
Yeah the guy from the L.A. paper
Said he made guilty whites feel good
They’ll vote for him and not for me
'Cause hes not from da hood
See real black men like snoop dogg
Or me or farrakhan
Have talked the talk and walked the walk
Not come and laid and won (not sure about this line)
Barack the Magic Negro lives in D.C.
The L.A. Times they called him that
'Cause he’s not authentic like me
'Cause hes black but not authentically
Barack the Magic Negro lives in D.C.
The L.A. Times they called him that
'Cause he’s not authentic like me
'Cause hes black but not authentically
Some say barack’s articulate
And bright and new and clean
The media sure love this guy
A white interloper’s dream
But when you vote for president
Watch out and dont be fooled
Don't vote the magic negro in
'Cause…
(background singing the first 3 lines, while the singer is saying)
Cause I wont have nothing after all these years of sacrifice and I wont get
justice this is about justice this is about justice, buffet, I dont have no
buffet there wont be any church contributions there’ll be no cash in the
collection plate, no cash money, no walkin around money…
