Elizabeth Banks, the host of Tuesday night's Democratic National Convention, starred in the a cappella hit Pitch Perfect and directed its sequel, and she put those skills to good use for Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, with what Banks described as a surprise video of her and other celebrities singing Rachel Platten's "Fight Song," voices only:
Platten was one of those voices, along with singers Idina Menzel, Mandy Moore, Aisha Tyler, Kristin Chenoweth, Renee Felming, and Sia, plus non-singers Rob Reiner and Jane Fonda, among others. Now, Donald Trump did not need to borrow someone else's catchy song, getting singer Dave Fenley to debut an original number, "Make America Great Again," at last week's Republican National Convention. Both songs are pretty catchy, and now, along with choosing which candidate you want for president, you can pick which tune you want stuck in your head until November.
You're welcome, America.
