Last week, when I ran a collection of weird campaign songs, I thought I'd seen it all. Little girls lip-synching a hyper-nationalist ode to Trump just had to be the peak of musical weirdness for 2016. In making this assumption, however, it never crossed my mind that Mike Huckabee was still out there. ...And when I say "out there" I mean "way, way, way out there."
You'll recall that, back in 2008, Huckabee actually won the Iowa caucuses. This time out, he's being trounced by every viable candidate and half of the unviable ones. So naturally he assumed that the only way to reverse his fortunes was to channel Weird Al and create a parody of Adele's hit song "Hello."
The twist is that Huckabee's version focuses on how much he loves Iowa and its voters - despite the frigid temperatures.
