IT'S FUNNY BECAUSE ORLANDO IS A CITY IN FLORIDA AND THE SINGER'S LAST NAME IS ORLANDO.

10. Not only the youth vote

But the Cinco De Mayo celebration too. Damn you Fuckabee.

12. If he actually got permission, that sets him ahead of basically every other Republican out there.

They seem to have a history of using music without actually getting permission from the musicians who wrote/recorded it, who then have to turn around and send cease and desist letters.

I'll stay on the bus
Forget about us
