70-year-old Rep. Hank Johnson (D-GA) posted a cringe video of himself on Wednesday performing an anti-President Donald Trump song based on the 1967 Jimi Hendrix classic, “Hey Joe.” Johnson’s version is cleverly titled, “Hey Trump.” Johnson introduced the video saying, “I hate to hurt your ears.”
Johnson’s guitar is out of tune, his singing tone deaf, and the redone lyrics are dumb, but so predictable.
“Hey, Trump. Where you going with that gun in your hand?”
“Hey, Trump. Where you going with that gun in your hand?”
“I’m going down the street to shoot democracy. You know I want to be a king someday.”
“I’m going down to shoot democracy down. You know I want to be the king someday.”
“Hey, Donald Trump. We won’t let you take our democracy down, take it down to the ground.”
“Hey, Trump. We won’t let you take our democracy down, burn it down to the ground.”
Johnson warned viewers he is (still) learning to play guitar (he’s posted a few other performance videos), but because it is Black Music Month, he wanted to try out his new Fender Stratocaster and play this song for you, “June is Black Music Month. This year, I decided to come back with another jam session for you all. Here is my rendition of “Hey Joe” by the Godfather of Rock, Jimi Hendrix.”
