Fox News’ Chris Wallace deserves a lot of credit for, however imperfectly, dialing down the spectacle of the 2016 presidential campaign for a solid 90 minutes during the final debate. Indeed, debate moderator can be a tough gig these days—a fact that “Weird Al” Yankovic learns the hard way in his new song “Bad Hombres, Nasty Women,” a title taken directly from the most memorably offensive lines spoken by Donald Trump during Wednesday night’s matchup.
The video, which was made with the help of the Gregory Brothers (the autotune experts behind the theme for Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, the “Bed Intruder Song,” and other songified news) reassembles footage of Trump and Hillary Clinton’s insults in rhyme. For example: “Putin has a very clear favorite in this race/ He’d rather have a puppet as president of the United States.” At least our national nightmare sounds a little better in autotune?
