Plot

The three-minute film features a clay-animated Jimmy Carter (who was U.S. President at the time) singing "Georgia on My Mind", referencing his birth state. He is accompanied by a choir of Mr. Peanut lookalikes, and gazes at the moon at night. Ray Charles' rendition of the song is used on the soundtrack.[5][6][7][8]
