JERUSALEM — This is a cur­rent, Israeli com­mer­cial — in Eng­lish — for the cable-provider Yes fea­tur­ing a Barack-Obama look-a-like and the president’s cam­paign slo­gan, “Yes, we can!” The song is sung to the tune of this Israeli classic-rock song.

I just have one com­plaint: Who­ever wrote the lyrics must not have been a native English-speaker. The idiom is “blow your mind,” not “blow your brain.“
