Naturally, the Internet jumped at the chance to get in on some lighthearted fun, reimagining the debate as a kind of karaoke night, complete with song suggestions and lyrics. Some users thought that Drake and Rihanna’s “Too Good” collaboration would be the perfect fit for a duet between Hillary and Donald. > [](https://twitter.com/desusnice/status/785310746401972224) While others opted for more classic songs. > [](https://twitter.com/harinef/status/785314958628253696) Some gave it the Disney treatment. > [](https://twitter.com/iSmashFizzle/status/785312950697467909) However, this Twitter user suggested this song from _Annie Get Your Gun_. > [](https://twitter.com/Willcadams/status/785303967483822080) Presidential Debate 2: Internet Memes of Trump and Clinton ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4525078/presidential-debate-karaoke-memes/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4525078/presidential-debate-karaoke-memes/"},"headline":"The Internet Thinks the Presidential Debate Would Be Better Off as a Karaoke Duet","datePublished":"2016-10-10T16:31:51.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:37:28.431Z","description":"What if Hillary and Donald were singing instead of debating?","url":"https://time.com/4525078/presidential-debate-karaoke-memes/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Entertainment","politics","twitter","Culture"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt545df5debca6a794/6988a956196cf4ec9603d818/hillary-clinton-donald-trump-presidential-debate-karaoke.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt545df5debca6a794/6988a956196cf4ec9603d818/hillary-clinton-donald-trump-presidential-debate-karaoke.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"US-VOTE-DEBATE","caption":"US-VOTE-DEBATE","creditText":"ROBYN BECK—AFP/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4525078/presidential-debate-karaoke-memes/","name":"The Internet Thinks the Presidential Debate Would Be Better Off as a Karaoke Duet"}}]}] ```
