WATCH: Hillary Clinton Makes Cameo in 'Song for Women 2017'

WATCH: Hillary Clinton Makes Cameo in 'Song for Women 2017'

2017 has certainly been an intense year for women.


The latent misogyny and abuse that women have put up with their entire lives finally came to a head in a big way. Not surprising, considering who is leading the country.

So, when The Daily Show with Trevor Noah was planning their year-end recap episode, two of the female correspondents for the show, Desi Lydic and Dulcé Sloan, decided to write a song.

And thus, "Song for Women 2017" was born.

In the music video, Lydic and Sloan talk about everything from the Women's March, which took place the day after President Trump's inauguration in January, to the Elizabeth Warren's "nevertheless she persisted" moment, to the #MeToo campaign that has dominated headlines in recent months.

At one point, "DJ Mansplain" shows up to tell us "what really happened this year," but he's shut down rather quickly by Lydic and Sloan.

And then comes the magical moment when Sloan says, "Yo Hillary Clinton, take us home," and you think to yourself, "naaahhh, there's not way they got Hillary Clinton to make a cameo in this music video."

But there she is, in all her glory, riffing (or at least lip-syncing) like an old pro. And it's brilliant.

Watch the entire video here (Clinton's part starts around the 5:14 mark):

Ok, so it's clearly not Clinton singing, but it's still an iconic moment to have Clinton, who has been the target of so much negativity this year, even after her loss in the 2016 election, being the woman to emerge with the powerful cry that so many women would probably love to shout along with.

And it's just hammy enough that we can tell Clinton is still able to find the light side in such a year of darkness for so many.

Twitter definitely appreciated the laugh:

Guess we found our new jam to ring in the new year:

Fox News Host Apologizes After His Suggestion That Homeless People Be Euthanized Sparks Outrage

Fox and Friends host Brian Kilmeade was criticized for suggesting that homeless people with mental health issues get "involuntary lethal injection" after the murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska on a train in North Carolina—and was swiftly condemned for an insincere apology several days after the fact as many are calling for Fox News to terminate his contract.

Zarutska was stabbed to death at the East/West Boulevard station on the Lynx Blue Line in Charlotte last month; her killer, a homeless man with a history of mental health issues, has since been charged with first-degree murder.

Nancy Mace Just Tried To Claim She's Never 'Dehumanized' Her Colleagues—And The Internet Brought The Receipts

South Carolina Republican Representative Nancy Mace was called out for hypocrisy after she claimed on CNN that Democrats in Congress have been "dehumanizing" Republicans, a move she would "never" do—despite her record of doing just that.

Speaking to anchor Katie Bolduan while the search for the suspect who killed far-right activist Charlie Kirk was ongoing, Mace objected to Bolduan's observation that she was using "us v. them" language, only saying that things are "very one-sided right now." She also suggested that the situation is so bad for her that she's actually afraid of "just walking out in public."
