News Americas, NEW YORK, NY, Mon. Mar. 19, 2018: It’s not only actor Alec Balwin who can play Donald Trump. A Caribbean-born, Grammy-winning singer was late last week transformed into the role of Trump for a spoof on the Robert Muller investigation for the ‘Late Late Show.’
‘It Wasn’t Me’ singer, Shaggy was recruited by the show’s host James Corden to sing his chart-topping 2000 hit for the parody. Corden played a determined Mueller as he sang: “Special counsel got you sweating like crazy, tweeting that it’s a ‘witch hunt,'” while knocking on the Oval Office door with a number of FBI agents as a jumpy Shaggy, playing Trump, tried to shred confidential documents and hide.
The video has gotten over a half million views on YouTube since last Wednesday night.
” Special counsel got you sweatin’ like crazy. Tweeting that it’s a witch hunt, Open up, got some questions ‘bout Russia, Evidence you should confront. I’m just trying to learn the truth and Figure out how much you knew All this time, my investigation Never took its eyes off you,” crooned Corden.
To which Shaggy responds in song: “This damn Russian probe’s gonna bite me in the bummer. I never should have fired James Comey last summer. Pundits called me dumb, Bannon made me look dumber. I’ll blame Hillary, boy I’ve really outdone her. To be a true dealer, know the art of the deal. If Mueller’s pressin’ charges, then I’m going to appeal. Delete my work emails before they reveal. I paid off Stormy Daniels so she’d spank me till I squealed.”
The two also poked fun at the Stormy Daniels situation, Trump’s firing of FBI director James Comey, the alleged existence of a “pee tape,” and Trump’s relationship with Russian leader Vladimir Putin.
