“Hey Hey Hill/Oye Hillary” is a Latin/rock rhythm song written and produced for the Hillary Clinton campaign as a volunteer effort. This effort was lead by Annette Rodrigues (Executive Producer) and Lynne Revo-Cohen (Songwriter/Producer). It has the potential to be used as an inspirational, signature piece for getting out the vote. The Spanish version was specifically designed initially to assist the “Latinas for Hillary”project to turn out the vote for the California primary. The song could be used in the general campaign without any modification. It can also be turned into a multi-media DVD to be used for a variety of campaign purposes. 1.
