You Down with Oil BP?
A talented group of performers from the Sunshine Coast recently collaborated on a music video in an effort to draw more attention to the environmentally devestating oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico by oil giant BP. Lampooning the 1991 hit song 'O.P.P.' by Naughty by Nature, videographer Marc Buzzel wrote all new lyrics and changed the iconic tagline, "Who's Down with O.P.P." to "Who's down with Oil BP".Shot in two days, Marc enlisted the help of John Jamin a local musician and recording artist and Johanna Renee a very talented hip hop artist to provide the vocals along with Caitlyn Turcotte. The video features the three of them performing the parody with former longtime Delta resident Duane Burnett, who plays BP CEO Tony Hayward's alter ego named 'Tony Haywire'.
Filmed entirely on the Sunshine Coast of British Columbia this video has been getting a lot of attention on the Internet garnering over 5000 views in under 3 days. A number that is likely to increase exponentially over the next few weeks.
Thank you for playing it forward Elvis and the Delta Free Press. Most Awesome.
