Tim Heidecker (of Tim & Eric) has gone full Randy Newman for a piano-led ballad about white supremacist Richard Spencer.
Spencer, who - as per his Wiki page - has called for "peaceful ethnic cleansing", caught a tasty jab in the ear recently. You might have seen it.
Heidecker's jaunty tune is full of whistling, harmonicas, and tender keys - it belies the pugilist lyrics: "If you see Richard Spencer, won't you give him big black eye / come at him swinging, ain't no one gonna cry..."
Spencer's not the only target of Heidecker's musical mind - President Trump got a song too, which Father John Misty covered last year.
