VIDEO: THE ROOTS INTRODUCE MICHELE BACHMANN W/ DISS SONG & SHE HAD NO CLUE!

As many of you know, Questlove and The Roots are the in-house band for the nightly talk show Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. They’re also known for choosing appropriate and fitting tracks to accompany their celebrity guests as they make their entrance.

Well on Monday night’s show, the Philadelphia-natives decided to make a funny, yet political statement about republican congresswoman, Michele Bachmann by performing the Fishbone track, “Lyin’ A** B****” as her entrance music. What’s unfortunate is that presidential candidate had no idea what song was being played! I think the audience had more of a clue because we can barely hear the audience’s applause as she made her way out. Shade. Lol

Check out the clip below. Props to DDot for finding the clip!

    i’m not a fan of michelle bachmann whatsoever, she’s insipid and i feel she panders to the lower common denominator but with all that said i’ve never heard of the song before and wouldn’t have known that’s what they were playing unless you brought this to our attention but that was very disrespectful of them.

  3. ManChiChi

    Oh, wow. This is great! lol

  4. collegegirl

    Lol. This is funny even though I had no clue what they were saying on the track accept for la,la,la, and the ending.
    The Roots have always been a socially conscious band, so I’m not suprised that they would do something like this as an inside joke.

    I can’t stand ska but if it’s used to mock d-bags like Bachmann, I’m cool with it haha!

  12. OVERYOURHEADS

    The Roots betta watch out Fox News is going be on that ass soon! lol!

  13. Shellbee

    The Roots could give less than two shits and a damn about Fake News. Jimmy Fallon made the most brilliant move in late night television when he signed The Roots as the house band.

  14. Mrsjones

    Ha ha!! Thats what that stupid bitch gets!!

  15. Mia

    Wow, hilarious, but totally disrespectful! I hear he apologized and I think, he was right to do so!

  16. Rachel
