The Hillary Shimmy, which the Democratic nominee performed after a particularly aggressive and long-winded attack on her at Monday night’s debate, now has its own song, further ensuring its place in the annals of viral campaign moments.
It’s a feel-good moment in a campaign season that has had so few of them.
The song was written by Jonathan Mann, who writes a song a day: “My superpower is that I can take any idea, no matter how complex, and distill it down into a short, catchy, memorable song.”
And the lyrics, via DailyKos:
This dude is coming at me
I just smile and let him be
The dude brought your own rope
He put the bullet in the gun so
I’m just gonna shimmy
Shimmy Shimmy Shimmy Shimmy
HRC
Shimmy Shimmy Shimmy Shimmy
Hillary
He just keeps on shouting, “Wrong!”
So I’ll get my Jim Halpert on
He is a flightless bird
I think I’ll never say another word
I’ll just be singing this song
