It's not every day that you hear the president sing, "I'm too hot. Hot damn! Call the police and the fireman."

But that's now a reality, thanks to this cleverly edited video. Watching the president "break it down" is sure to bring smiles to the faces of Democrats and Republicans alike.

The mix, set to Bruno Mars' "Uptown Funk," was put together by Fadi Saleh, who is behind the barackdubs YouTube channel. The channel edits together short clips from President Barack Obama's speeches to give the impression he is singing various pop songs. The latest cover was just 'dropped' on Tuesday, but it already has more than one and a half million views.

The channel only releases a handful of these videos every year, sometimes incorporating other political or entertainment personalities.

The President's alter ego's biggest hit, by a long shot, was the song of the summer in 2012: Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe."

Next up on Baracksdubs' playlist? Taylor Swift's "Shake It Off."
