Miley Cyrus Spoofs the Goverment Shutdown
Apparently, we DID stop. Well the government did anyway.
Miley Cyrus made an appearance on Saturday Night Live on October 5. She did a spoof of her song "We Can't Stop" about the government shutdown called "We Did Stop (The Government)." In the parody, she plays a very sexy Michelle Bachmann while SNL's Taran Killam plays John Boehner.
The spoof showed a picture of Ronald Reagan a couple of times saying, "It's our party we can do what we want." Jay Pharaoh, dressed as President Obama, was outside looking through a window as the two "politicians" were inside partying. They even substituted the bears from the "We Can't Stop" video with GOP elephants.
"Republican party. Repping GOP. Doing whatever we want. This is our house. This is our rules. And we did stop (the government). Yeah, we did stop (shut it down)."
Although the government shutdown is a very contraversial matter, the 20 year-old singer approached it in a playful way that most wouldn't have dared.
