Watch “Weird Al” Spoof Trump in “Bad Hombres, Nasty Women” Video

At Wednesday night’s third and final presidential debate, Donald Trump interrupted Hillary Clinton to call her a “nasty woman,” inadvertently giving Janet Jackson’s “Nasty” a huge boost in Spotify streams. Now, “Weird Al” Yankovic has taken the “nasty woman” jibe, and Trump’s loaded condemnation of “bad hombres,” as the basis for a spoof song, Billboard points out. In the video, which you can watch below, “Weird Al” plays a theatrical moderator duetting with Trump and Clinton soundbites, which are autotuned into key with an epic backing track. “Can everyone achieve the American dream,” Al sings, “or should they sign up for my Ponzi scheme?” He goes on to challenge the candidates on whether they’d “thumb-wrestle with Vladimir Putin.”
