Updated on 18 June 2007

A woman has taken the world by storm with a ballad about her undying love for Presidential candidate Barack Obama.

Obama Girl's I've Got a Crush on Obama has become a hit on YouTube and is adding a bit of heat to the US elections.

In the video, the scantily-clad woman is seen declaring her crush on the Junior Senator of Illinois to anyone who'll listen.

In the first verse, she sings: "You seemed to float onto the floor/Democratic convention 2004/I never wanted anybody more/than I want you" before announcing in the chorus, "Baby, I cannot wait/til 2008/Baby, you're the best candidate."

The song and video were the brainchild of advertising executive Ben Relles and 21-year-old journalism student Leah Kauffman, who also sang the track. The woman who plays Obama Girl is Amber Lee Ettinger, an American actress.

Officials from Obama's camp have denied any involvement with the stunt.
