Mine is a little fuzzy — I remember being young, and being under the impression that bacon was a luxury food. Like candy, but rarer. When I was young I dreamed about getting older and to the point in my life when I could eat all the candy that I wanted (I imagined giant piles of it, with me and my friends plowing in). Funny thing: now that I’m an adult I don’t have piles of candy, but I do have boxes and boxes of bacon.

But first, listen to this brief election-day message from the Bacon Lobby.

We’ve also got a video of Bacon Day action in New Jersey, with a cut-down remix of the Bacon Man song.

Why not show us how you be sizzlin’ on Bacon Day. Video respond to Obama Bacon Man! Yeah!

And also, here’s an MP3 of Obama Bacon Man! Blast it whenever a state goes Bacon!

If you’ve seen the Bacon Man video, you’ve seen us all dancing. That’s great, and it’s about to get better. I use “better” in a vague and loose way. Today we here at the Bacon Lobby are introducing the election-day edition of the Sizzle Dance. Let me show you:

Now, this isn’t the final draft of the Sizzle Dance. No way. We’d like you to turn up the Bacon Man song, turn on the video recorder, and tape your own Sizzle Dance.

Here’s a link to the new, working zip file archive of the Bacon Man GarageBand file. It’s pretty big (59MB), and it’s free for you. We’re releasing this under the most liberal Creative Commons license, which means if you do anything with this all you have to do is say you got it from us here at the Bacon Lobby. And, heck, let us know when you do, and we’ll post a link to your work here.

Backstory

The seed for this song was planted December 2007. It sprouted in March of 2008, when we realized how good “Obama Bacon Man” sounded rolling of the tongue. This song grew legs, arms, and teeth in September of this year — we fleshed out the lyrics, Joachim flew out to Denver to record the video, and, now, we have Obama Bacon Man in the video-flesh.
