The youth group of a right wing Danish political party has apologised for a song describing Barack Obama as a "negro without talent".
Members of the Danish People's Party (DF) youth wing claimed the song, set to the tune of 'California Dreamin' by the Mamas and the Papas and also suggesting the US President was "no bro", was meant to be funny . It also endorses Donald Trump as the next leader of the US, with the words: "We would vote for Trump, if we were in LA, Trump for president, November is the day". The youth group sang in English at a political gathering in Bornholm, in front of the US ambassador to Denmark Rufus Gifford -an old friend of the president.
In a post on its Facebook page, the group said the song was "an attempt to be humorous" and was supposed to be a "fun party tune". It said the wording had been "misunderstood".
The lyrics were first published in a Facebook post by David Trads, who said the party's actions were "misplaced" and "idiotic".
He called on the youth group to apologise, since the insult was sung to the US ambassador. Many commented on Trads' post expressing disgust at the song.
