Everyone knows Weird Al, but you may or may not have heard of The Gregory Brothers before. They’re in the business of using auto-tune to turn the news into fun songs. Remember Antoine Dodson and “The Bed Intruder Song” from several years back? All Gregory Brothers. So when they teamed up with Weird Al to use clips from the third debate this week and compose a song from it (in B-flat, as Moderator Weird Al notes), it was a pretty sure hit. The song is called “Bad Hombres, Nasty Women: The Presidential Debate in Song.”
The New York Times first published the video as an exclusive. In it, Weird Al moderates but as the debate opens up a portal to Hell, he is joined by the Gregory Brothers (which is actually 3 brothers and a sister) in dark cloaks providing backups.
Check it out here:
E's commentary on that Weird Al video: "That was a good one. He made his own wind. THEY made THEIR own wind too!" So true, E. So true.

SNL just needs to Weird Al interview that Al Smith Dinner, real footage of Trump with McKinnon reacting. That's all the hit job they need.
