Lena Dunham drops pro-Hillary Clinton rap 'Sensual Pantsuit Anthem'

Lena Dunham's enthusiasm for Democratic Candidate Hillary Clinton has been pretty much unmatched on the celebrity scene - something which the Girls creator decided both to celebrate and poke fun of by, yes, dropping a hot rap track.

Released on Funny or Die, Dunham's sketch sees her turn up to a brunch organised for seemingly complete strangers, simply so she could pontificate on what meaningful outlet she can find for her feelings on the US election. "So what do you think I'm gonna do with all this energy and all this rage?" Dunham proclaims. "What I ultimately decided on was that the medium for me to express my anger was rapped... music."

As the screams of her guests are slowly drowned out, "MC Pantsuit" steps up to defend "the nation's baddest grandmother": Hillary Rodham Clinton. Though Dunham starts off simply listing Clinton's credentials, things start to fall apart when she decides to rip off her pantsuit, to reveal "a more sensual pantsuit"; "because that's what you do for the candidate you love."

Premised as a light-hearted endorsement of Clinton, the sketch also gives Dunham the opportunity to poke fun of herself and her place in the cultural narrative; with guest stars Cynthia Erivo and Charlamagne Tha God unimpressed by Dunham's strange use of cultural appropriation and lingerie-rocking. "I wonder if I'm actually hurting her chances of winning?" she muses at the end.

Dunham also uses the opportunity to take aim at the media's treatment of her; with one of her brunch guests revealing his only reason for meeting Dunham is to, "write down or record her saying something controversial today and sell that to the media - be part of her undoing, and monetarily gain from that."

The sketch follows plenty of celebrity endorsements and satires in the lead-up to one of the most talked about elections in history: from will.i.am.'s anti-Trump anthem, Saturday Night Live's election sketches, to Joss Whedon's star-packed endorsement video.
