Watch Weird Al moderate the final debate, with Trump and Clinton singing in rhyme

If you missed Wednesday's final presidential debate between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton — or you didn't — and you don't want to watch it (again) because it was ugly, long, or boring, "Weird Al" Yankovic and the Gregory Brothers have already made it short and sweet for your pleasurable consumption. Weird Al is the moderator of this three-and-a-half-minute debate, and like actual moderator Chris Wallace, he asks substantive questions then gets out of the way and lets Clinton and Trump answer — only he belts out the questions and the candidates' answers are edited and auto-tuned so they sing them in rhyme (somehow while still remaining coherent).

"We can't say we were shocked that songifying the final debate between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump revealed a terrifying space opera about bad hombres and nasty women," the Gregory Brothers write in The New York Times. "So terrifying, in fact, that it ripped open a wormhole to another dimension, and pulled an unsuspecting Weird Al Yankovic in from his home in a parallel universe to moderate the whole thing." If that sounds unpleasant to watch, just give it a try — as the Gregory Brothers write, "the hidden songs of the cosmos are full of surprises." Peter Weber
