I hadn't seen this either. This is fantastic. My favorite part is the keyboard with the notes on it.
F-F-Eb-C#-Eb-F-F# ftw

I'd like to share this parody of the Eagle’s Desperado featuring Hillary Clinton, by Boston area singer and songwriter Dave Wildman:
Hillary Clinton: Desperado - Come to your senses.
I edited the video. Check it out. Thanks!
