Thanks to Donald Trump, Janet Jackson's 1986 hit "Nasty" is enjoying a resurgence. Spotify reported Thursday that since Trump called Hillary Clinton "such a nasty woman" at the third presidential debate Wednesday night, streams of Jackson's song have increased 250 percent.
In the lyrics, Jackson talks about how "nasty boys" who think "nasty thoughts" and aren't respectful "don't mean a thing" and "don't ever change." "Better be a gentleman, or you turn me off," sings Jackson, who was nominated this week for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
