Michele Bachmann gets a snarky salute from the Roots

Posted on

We already know that Jimmy Fallon has the best house band in late-night, but this takes it to another level. Last night the Roots greeted Michele Bachmann with a Fishbone song that expresses the feelings that many people share for the Republican nominee.

Questlove hinted that they had something special planned, but didn't name the song outright.

I wouldn't have figured it out if it weren't for another hint. Questlove retweeted this a little while later.

The Late Night website removed Bachmann’s intro and walk-on from the interview clip. Hopefully Hulu keeps full episode intact. I tip my hat to the Roots.

Check out the original 1985 Fishbone track.
