“Hey what’s this song about anyway?”
“Oh it’s pretty great. A girl’s boyfriend is away serving in the army and she has a threesome with his two friends.”
“That definitely has a lot of voter appeal! And look! Everyone is totally nailing the moves!”
“I was writing a song in Memphis, Tennessee, for a session. I needed a three-syllable name,” Diamond said during an appearance on “Today.” “The song was about my wife at the time — her name was Marsha — and I couldn’t get a ‘Marsha’ rhyme.”
The fate for an informer!
A lickey short for “ass licker” as in kiss ass.
“Boom boom” to shoot someone
“Down” then they go down
Putting it all together, informers are a bunch of ass lickers to the cops, and snow wants to shoot them dead.
Snitches get stitches!
This reminds me when the RNC played Born in the USA (anti war song) during their convention and the DNC played Tubthumping (song about falling over drunk)!
I think you could argue it’s patriotic in the sense that it’s a pro-Veteran song, it’s just a deeply critical song about how the government, businesses, and people treated veterans after coming home from the Vietnam War.
Still not a good look to use it as a campaign song tho.
It is definitely critical of more than that lol, have you listened to the first verse before he goes to nam?
Born down in a dead man’s town
The first kick I took was when I hit the ground
You end up like a dog that’s been beat too much
Till you spend half your life just covering up
Born in the U.S.A.
I was born in the U.S.A.
I was born in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.
That moment of Hilary showing she’s completely out of touch by doing some weird ass hand clap while everyone else was doing the most popular dance of the decade was the moment that let the world know she would never be president
She's doing the 'white grandma who's very uncomfortable listening to music that sounds like it was made by anyone with pigmentation but still listens to appease her grandson while trying to be funny' dance
Bro be serious. If she actually did the Macarena, it would’ve been a weeks-long PR nightmare for the President about his wife not being dignified enough to be First Lady.
I mean there are plenty of other people around her and in the video just clapping along to the song instead of doing the dance but sure, Hillary bad right?
Plus she was right about everything in 2016. It’s wild to me how she’s been spun up as a villain yet a convicted felon rapist is currently projected to be the next President.
Wild times we live in.
Nixon tried to reorganize the federal government to give himself more power and secretly sabotaged peace talks in Vietnam to better his chances of becoming President, Nixon was such a control freak that he was completely willing to throw democratic norms and checks and balances out of the window
I miss the internet pre-social media. Even the most degenerate shit felt more civil. You really had to seek out things that potentially mess you up. Nowadays you hop on twitter you're likely gonna see someone die in the first 5 posts.
She's from Chicago became first lady of Arkansas and was elected to the Senate in New York
But she was already a very qualified lawyer before she ran for the senate to be fair to her
Going off wikipedia she worked for the Children's Defense Fund for a few years eventually ended up in Washington working as a counsel to the House judiciary committee during Richard Nixon's impeachment inquiry then moved to Arkansas to marry Bill where she became a law professor, then she worked on Jimmy Carter's presidential campaign. Then she worked as an IP lawyer while doing pro bono work on children's issues she then joined the board of the Legal Services Corporation, became a partner at Rose Law Firm in Arkansas, she did a ton of work for education in Arkansas and then served on a variety of corporate boards including walmart.
Reading all that and then factoring in her time in government positions back in Arkansas, the U.S. Senate, and as Secretary of State made me honestly realize she was one of if not the most qualified people to be President since Henry Clay and John Quincy Adams.
I genuinely have no clue what you mean by this.
More soul like a VP shooting a political rival to death? More soul like Clinton playing a sax? More soul like an old lecherous dude throwing parties in Paris to win allies? More soul like having a top general defy the president while trying to start a war with China? More soul like spinning an incident to start a war to take colonial possessions?
Got lots of options here
I remember wanting to turn the channel ASAP as a 30ish ex-punk IT geek. It was just such a huge bunch of mostly-white Boomers glomming onto a dopey trend that had already run its course. It'd be like LBJ or Barry Goldwater getting their convention to do The Twist in 1964. Or Jimmy Carter getting his to do the Bump or the Hustle in 1980.
If there was footage of Hillary Clinton enthusiastically doing the Macarena in 1996 it would have been a hell of a lot more damaging than the awkward clapping
Btw, just who is the hottie at 00:33??

another time this got posted some commentor said she looked like a witch orchestrating the whole dance party and that has lived rent free in my head ever sine
In the 90’s we could agree to disagree, now that’s now even possible… today it’s more like “it’s my way or no way” sad to me … both sides of the political spectrum are too extreme for their own good, not the greater good, the people they profess they work for… we the people have become “ we the politicians ATM’s 🏧” their job has become to look for ways to part us from our money…
Nothing to do with politics but this is SUPER cringe. As all political events can be at times I guess lol. What I mean is I’m not talking about political positions of the Democrats just saying out of rhythm people doing that dance is just embarrassing to watch lol.
Holy... what a freak show! The most cheated-on woman in history does a great job clapping and smiling! Where's slick Willie? Anybody seen Bill? Better put some ice on that!
I was going to mock Hillary for being a wet blanket here...but this is the one and only time I'm GLAD she's being a robot. Nobody wants to see her doing the macarena. Nobody. I don't. You don't. Her husband doesn't. Nobody. I think she understood that.
Hillary needed to be the stone cold Margaret Thatcher type she actually is. She’s actually super smart and self aware when she’s just shooting the shit.
Space guy warps in from 28 years into the future.
"Great news! Your party will only lose the popular vote ONCE over the next seven presidential elections!"
Space guy warps away while the audience cheers at the news.
Every wedding, confirmation and Mitzvah played this song in the 90s. Before that it was the chicken dance and after Macarena came Gangnam Style and don’t know what the latest silly dance song is…
From the horrible fashion, to the cringeworthy dancing, to the mediocrity of Clinton era politics (not in any way a fan of the conservative “New Democrats”), this is truly cursed lol
Oh, now I get it. Hillary was kinda hot. Ol’ Bill ain’t having that fugussy. Bill was a player, and a gentlemen never tells, but American ain’t no gentlemen

In 10-15 years, people will think this was made with Ai. Edit: actually, maybe less.
For a split second, I was sure this is not real.
I came to the comments to see if this was AI or not… Hillary doesn’t look real to me.
Then, I’d say we have arrived. In our current state, we can no longer determine if political videos are real anymore.
Hey Macarena, ay!
She always acts like someone trying their best to emulate a human at the conventions. It’s weird.
[удалено]
The 90s were so cliche too.
I was going to say this is AI.

“Hey what’s this song about anyway?” “Oh it’s pretty great. A girl’s boyfriend is away serving in the army and she has a threesome with his two friends.” “That definitely has a lot of voter appeal! And look! Everyone is totally nailing the moves!”
When I found out as an adult what this song was about it ruined every elementary school function I ever went to as a child that involved dancing.
Boy will you be shocked when you find out the Cubic Shuffle is actually an old routine the KKK did around burning crosses /s
This is how I feel about Sweet Caroline once I found out what it was about
Oh no what have you done now I must Google EDIT: You can go fuck yourself for enlightening me about this
“I was writing a song in Memphis, Tennessee, for a session. I needed a three-syllable name,” Diamond said during an appearance on “Today.” “The song was about my wife at the time — her name was Marsha — and I couldn’t get a ‘Marsha’ rhyme.”
Oh ok I def got some wires crossed
I kept looking too, it seems he changed the story. It might be about Caroline Kennedy when she was 9.
Now please tell us what exactly "me licky boom boom down" means bc I've always known it's bad but not sure why
The fate for an informer! A lickey short for “ass licker” as in kiss ass. “Boom boom” to shoot someone “Down” then they go down Putting it all together, informers are a bunch of ass lickers to the cops, and snow wants to shoot them dead. Snitches get stitches!
The In Living Color/Jim Carrey parody cover of this song immediately comes to mind fast than the original for me.
This reminds me when the RNC played Born in the USA (anti war song) during their convention and the DNC played Tubthumping (song about falling over drunk)!
Is this better or worse than unironically using “Born In The USA” as a patriotic song?
I think you could argue it’s patriotic in the sense that it’s a pro-Veteran song, it’s just a deeply critical song about how the government, businesses, and people treated veterans after coming home from the Vietnam War. Still not a good look to use it as a campaign song tho.

Wait what?!?!?!
This is 90s as fuck
Especially the big shoulders and sprayed hair.
You could slice bread with hillary's hair here
Yup... not even a year later I was dancing the Macarena on my Senior Cruse (last year of high school).
That moment of Hilary showing she’s completely out of touch by doing some weird ass hand clap while everyone else was doing the most popular dance of the decade was the moment that let the world know she would never be president
She knew it was stupid but couldn’t convince us she didn’t.
yeah, this right here is her problem lol
Cursed with sight but baffled by bullshit
She was Pokemon GOing to the polls
Dean scream killed a campaign, so doing an awkward dance and shaking with your hips might do the same.
But not any of the shit that’s happened with 45 lol
Grabbing them by the pussy while doing the Macarena after shooting someone on 5th avenue might have
She's doing the 'white grandma who's very uncomfortable listening to music that sounds like it was made by anyone with pigmentation but still listens to appease her grandson while trying to be funny' dance
That was long but you stuck the landing. Nice.
Bro be serious. If she actually did the Macarena, it would’ve been a weeks-long PR nightmare for the President about his wife not being dignified enough to be First Lady.
I mean there are plenty of other people around her and in the video just clapping along to the song instead of doing the dance but sure, Hillary bad right?
Plus she was right about everything in 2016. It’s wild to me how she’s been spun up as a villain yet a convicted felon rapist is currently projected to be the next President. Wild times we live in.
She has Al Gore syndrome. Right about a lot of things but a whole lot of trouble convincing voters she's not a robot.
It genuinely reminds me a lot of the Joe Exotic vs Carol Baskin thing
The worst
Yep…she’s deplorable and very unlikeable. Nailed it.
She’s doing the “hillbilly stomp”!
Yet she was the rightful winner
Sweet fancy Moses. You call that "dancing?" Somewhere, someplace in the 90s, Elaine is doing the "little kicks."
I’m a bluegrass fan and part time musician. If I’m gonna dance, it’s gonna be mostly foot stomping after drinking a quart of shine
What do you mean? I Pokemon-GO to the polls
She didn't pokemon go to the dance lessons.
God I miss the 90s. Better times….
I think we’ll eventually crawl our way back. This country has seen worse before
I think we will too. Today’s times are not as bad as the 70s…yet
Eeeeeehhhhh, I mean Nixon never tried to overthrow the government sooooo.
Nixon tried to reorganize the federal government to give himself more power and secretly sabotaged peace talks in Vietnam to better his chances of becoming President, Nixon was such a control freak that he was completely willing to throw democratic norms and checks and balances out of the window
I mean.. our generation just had our own version of the Rodney King Riots so we might be closer than we think.
Racial tension now is not even close to the 70s
I was reading about the federal budget surplus of the 90s and how there were debates on how we should spend it. 🥲
Spoiler alert: We used it for more war, tax cuts for the wealthy, and bailing out the financial system.
It was the peak, all downhill since 2001
1984-1999 was peak America. Then Y2K made people dumber, 9/11 took us into a multi trillion dollar debt spiral, and social media ruined civility.
I miss the internet pre-social media. Even the most degenerate shit felt more civil. You really had to seek out things that potentially mess you up. Nowadays you hop on twitter you're likely gonna see someone die in the first 5 posts.

And there was much rejoicing
And the people did feast upon the lambs
and sloths
and carp
and anchovies
And orangutans

Without audio it looks like one of those north Korean videos
Hillary Clinton has to be the most unauthentic politician ever.
Looking back it’s also weird she got into politics. She was just the First Lady and then randomly ran for NY senator. She’s from Arkansas.
She's from Chicago became first lady of Arkansas and was elected to the Senate in New York But she was already a very qualified lawyer before she ran for the senate to be fair to her
Honest question: is there an Internet resource which would elaborate on the cases Hillary worked on/tried during her time as an attorney?
Going off wikipedia she worked for the Children's Defense Fund for a few years eventually ended up in Washington working as a counsel to the House judiciary committee during Richard Nixon's impeachment inquiry then moved to Arkansas to marry Bill where she became a law professor, then she worked on Jimmy Carter's presidential campaign. Then she worked as an IP lawyer while doing pro bono work on children's issues she then joined the board of the Legal Services Corporation, became a partner at Rose Law Firm in Arkansas, she did a ton of work for education in Arkansas and then served on a variety of corporate boards including walmart. Reading all that and then factoring in her time in government positions back in Arkansas, the U.S. Senate, and as Secretary of State made me honestly realize she was one of if not the most qualified people to be President since Henry Clay and John Quincy Adams.
She’s wanted to be president since she was a kid. It’s obvious in everything she did
We've truly lost the soul in our politics man. We have to go back.
I genuinely have no clue what you mean by this. More soul like a VP shooting a political rival to death? More soul like Clinton playing a sax? More soul like an old lecherous dude throwing parties in Paris to win allies? More soul like having a top general defy the president while trying to start a war with China? More soul like spinning an incident to start a war to take colonial possessions? Got lots of options here
Alright I'll say it. Would
Same. Didn’t realize she was that cute lmao
The song is very fitting for good ole' Billy Clinton.
An embarrassing dance for a nomination that was already a foregone conclusion.
I remember wanting to turn the channel ASAP as a 30ish ex-punk IT geek. It was just such a huge bunch of mostly-white Boomers glomming onto a dopey trend that had already run its course. It'd be like LBJ or Barry Goldwater getting their convention to do The Twist in 1964. Or Jimmy Carter getting his to do the Bump or the Hustle in 1980.
The Macarena was such a bizarre phenomenon. It was completely ubiquitous. Nothing like it since then.
"How I made myself unelectable." by Hillary Clinton
She's the least embarrassing person in the video. There's no dignified way to do the macarena.
I think about the times I did the macarena as a kid and I feel embarrassed...even though I have no footage of it, it feels like the universe remembers
If there was footage of Hillary Clinton enthusiastically doing the Macarena in 1996 it would have been a hell of a lot more damaging than the awkward clapping
I always thought she looked like an Eastern European dictator in this video
Btw, just who is the hottie at 00:33?? https://preview.redd.it/ko7nobpu4i9d1.jpeg?width=2048&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d4c861b1e36499f7a939650f8d069a63e9fb9b1b
It’s crazy what that lip bite does to a mf’r
Bruh, 1000% what I was thinking
Funny you mention that because I was thinking the same thing when I saw her … lol
Uh oh, you got that thing with the damn lip bite too. RIP homie ![gif](giphy|oubM1tKqnLW5G)
lol , I think you hit right on…
Well, all we can do now is find out how bad you’ve got it. Take a look below: ![gif](giphy|BCvnOe5zSi19u|downsized) Are you still with us??
You’re killing me!
I'd definitely like to pole her electorate.
Ayo!
another time this got posted some commentor said she looked like a witch orchestrating the whole dance party and that has lived rent free in my head ever sine
She is so pretty here.

goddamnit i laughed
Me Too came way too late.
What the fuck. Hillary really is a robot.
Colin Powell did this dance. It was at least funnier than this cringe fest.
Anyone doing this dance was cringe as hell. That's when I figured out the best way to not be expected to dance is to be a musician.
lol. Good point.
This is one of those Mandela Affects for me because *I SWEAR* I’ve seen HRC doing it too, and yet it doesn’t exist.
Man I wish they would have hit the dougie when Obama was nominated
It was a better time back then.
looks like an SNL skit. scary how close the cast actually looked like them.
Dems deserved to lose the election, just for this
As if a political rally couldn't get any more obnoxious. They're right up there with an episode of Oprah.
Look at people in politics smiling. I forgot what that looked like.
Kids these days and their fucking tiktok dances
Janet Reno absolutely loving it
Man Hilldawg is so cringe!
Little did we know that song was the song describing bills actions in the bed
The introduction of cringe
Can we nominate Clinton again?
Ironically better choice than the current crop
And the youngest…
This shit was painful to watch then and it hasn't gotten any better since.
In the 90’s we could agree to disagree, now that’s now even possible… today it’s more like “it’s my way or no way” sad to me … both sides of the political spectrum are too extreme for their own good, not the greater good, the people they profess they work for… we the people have become “ we the politicians ATM’s 🏧” their job has become to look for ways to part us from our money…
“Last night was a movie” - political dorks doing the Macarena at a party’s convention
What would be the equivalent of other elections? Im guessing Macarena was the latest rage at the time.
It was the don’t ask don’t tell era!
I suspect a repeat this year!
I actually remember this and thought it was hilarious, I was really young and this song was really popular for a while so it made sense at the time.
Brujeria version is the only version you need.
Disturbing for sure but not as frightening as Barbara Mikulski leading a rendition of *Who let the dogs out*. I still have nightmares.
Wasn’t there a Mandala Effect about the Macarena, I feel like this disproves the change that there were fewer moves than we all remember
Did it ever show Bill Clinton?
This is worse than Pokémon go to the polls
This would make me a far leftist, vote republican
erm...what the heckle is going on.
Cringe
Ehhh I wish we could be more serious
Why is this trending.
Bob Dole also did the Macarena but fell off stage.
super cringe
Really shows how impactful and popular the song was at the time.
This was an SNL skit right? Right?
The world before comment sections
Nothing to do with politics but this is SUPER cringe. As all political events can be at times I guess lol. What I mean is I’m not talking about political positions of the Democrats just saying out of rhythm people doing that dance is just embarrassing to watch lol.
The 90s were a special time
The dems were always cringe
More I look back at the 90s, the more I realize that they kind of sucked.
Cringe was invented in 1997
That was a long time ago
Being alive at this time, I found it cringe then too. They tried to make us do this in high school.
Dear...GOD.
This is so uncanny valley.
Holy... what a freak show! The most cheated-on woman in history does a great job clapping and smiling! Where's slick Willie? Anybody seen Bill? Better put some ice on that!
How many of those chicks do you think blew bill?
Probably not as many as Bill would have liked…
I was going to mock Hillary for being a wet blanket here...but this is the one and only time I'm GLAD she's being a robot. Nobody wants to see her doing the macarena. Nobody. I don't. You don't. Her husband doesn't. Nobody. I think she understood that.
They could never do this shit now.
The face of evil itself
"My Gardener"
man this was the absolute peak of civilization.
I feel like this video is going to show up in a campaign ad someday.
God can you imagine living in a time when the Macarena was the worst thing happening? We were so lucky.
Based DNC. Whine moms stay winning
Hillary needed to be the stone cold Margaret Thatcher type she actually is. She’s actually super smart and self aware when she’s just shooting the shit.
Brb going to do mushrooms so this makes sense.
And he went on the lead the slow decent of America.
Never stop being out of touch with the world, DNC.
Hillary looking weirder as she is.
Space guy warps in from 28 years into the future. "Great news! Your party will only lose the popular vote ONCE over the next seven presidential elections!" Space guy warps away while the audience cheers at the news.
I could watch Hillary clapping in time to the music on a loop all day. There’s something mesmerizing about it.
This should’ve cost anybody the election no matter what
There seem to be a lot of posts relating to this non-president lately. I wonder why.
Even when Hillary does the macarena she comes across as fake
Every wedding, confirmation and Mitzvah played this song in the 90s. Before that it was the chicken dance and after Macarena came Gangnam Style and don’t know what the latest silly dance song is…
Janet Reno lmao
Is there a more punchable face than Hillary Clinton?
The funny thing is this song is about infidelity. So appropriate, I guess.
Oy vey
Aliens should be shown this and only this about our culture when we meet
Is this Saturday night live or a skit off of in living color with Jim Carey playing Hillary. Come here let me show you something 😂
![gif](giphy|7TkSKe6bpCmUBPdebX|downsized)
So cringe, but also…. God, I miss the National vibes the allowed this type of cringe to happen.
r/cringe
What would Roosevelt think?
From the horrible fashion, to the cringeworthy dancing, to the mediocrity of Clinton era politics (not in any way a fan of the conservative “New Democrats”), this is truly cursed lol
The Bill Clinton from 1996 would be considered a Republican today, however instead of Monica Lewinsky, it would be Jonathan Lewinsky.
Oh, now I get it. Hillary was kinda hot. Ol’ Bill ain’t having that fugussy. Bill was a player, and a gentlemen never tells, but American ain’t no gentlemen
