#SchumanShow Sigh. Really, USA? Another four years of MAGA? Didn't you learn from the first time around?! Ahead of tomorrow's inauguration of the 47th president of the United States, we bring you a song. In this funny reinterpretation of Chappell Roan's famous "Pink Pony Club" melody, our Schuman Show cast faces one of the scariest things in recent history: Donald Trump's re-election for a second term as President of the United States.

With catchy lyrics and sharp sarcasm, our cast commiserates the 2024 US election results by asking the question on everybody's mind: US, what the fuck? (Respectfully). How did it come to this? Well, we know how it came to this - and in Europe, we're definitely no strangers to disappointing government appointments. Still, we were hoping it would be a little better across the pond... Whether you’re a politics buff or just love Pink Pony Club, you won’t want to miss this funny rendition. Watch now!

-- LYRICS:

We know, that you’re the USA Gonna do just what you want no matter what we say Remind us how you’re awesome everyday "Defenders of democracy" for some folks anyway

So what the hell did we, witness just recently? It’s 2024, not 1933 You voted Donald back into the Presidency And though this might sound like Euro-hypocrisy

God what have you done? We’ve got expertise And we know it’s not good to vote for a fascist even once

Then you go do it twice Well i’m not sure that he’s 'really' a fascist as such.. but

US what the fuck? Can't you learn from our mistakes,just Pick up a book! Wikipedia would do If you voted Trump

Blue was kinda “meh” that isn’t Shaking things up - US what the fuck!

That Wednesday, our jaws were on the floor Even though the Austrians did the same thing weeks before.. Giorgia Meloni? Well, she’s only ECR And Italy’s had more than 60 governments since the war

In France the second tour will always stop Marine Fidesz were fine until they left the EPP The Sweden Democrats don’t rule officially

And with a Jewish wife, Geert Wilders can’t be that Bad… Wow, that’s screwed up Yeah it’s different here Let’s not get distracted From the fact that Donald Trump won

More than Kamala lost To the millions who voted for him tell Us why the Fuck Can’t you just be happy driving big shiny trucks Being weird about insurance and Obsessed with your guns

You’re making us nostalgic now for George W Bush, US what the fuck?

Don’t think we’ve left you all behind That 48% haven’t completely lost their minds We know there’s another USA Of Beyonce and Hamilton And folks who buy fair trade thinking

Four more years of Trump And you're ashamed your first thought Was if Alec Baldwin could play him now - Since he’s in prison (Or did he get released?) But then that was a really fucked up acci..

Voila, That’s how it’s done! Open up a Californian Cab Sauvignon Maybe come to Europe for a long vacation

Trumpers if you’re listening At the next election, Just stay at home US, what the fuck? (x2)
