VIDEO: The Second City Borrows A Classic Movie Musical Moment To Say 'Bye, Bye, Bernie'

When Hollywood rising star Ann-Margret was cast as teenage Kim in the film version of the Broadway hit BYE, BYE, BIRDIE, the role was beefed up by having Charles Strouse and Lee Adams write a title song that could be used as a prologue and epilogue.

Placed in front of a blue backdrop with fans blowing wind through her hair the 20-year-old sang the number directly into the camera with a combination of campiness and sexiness that made it an iconic film moment.

With Bernie Sanders pledging his support to Hillary Clinton yesterday, the gang at Chicago's legendary comedy spot The Second City saw the opportunity for prime spoofing.

Here's The Second City company member Rashawn Nadine Scott honoring this historic moment in American politics with "Bye, Bye, Bernie."

Rooted in the improvisational games of Viola Spolin, The Second City opened in Chicago in December 1959 and began developing its entirely unique way of creating and performing comedy. Founded by Spolin's son, Paul Sills, along with Howard Alk and Bernie Sahlins, The Second City was experimental and unconventional in its approaches to both theater and comedy, railing against conformist culture with scenes that spoke to a younger generation. Broadway successes for Mike Nichols and Elaine May -- members of The Second City's predecessor, The Compass Players -- put attention on the fledgling company. Alumni such asAlan Arkin, Barbara Harris, RoBert Klein, David Steinberg and Fred Willard cemented the theater's reputation for developing multiple generations of comedic voices.

The original October 1975 cast of NBC's Saturday Night Live included alumni John Belushi, Dan Aykroyd and Gilda Radner, and The Second City became internationally recognized. The Second City's sister theater in Canada developed its own sketch comedy series, SCTV, hailed as one of the greatest of all time with an all-star cast including Martin Short, Andrea Martin, Catherine O'Hara, John Candy, Eugene Levy, Dave Thomas, Joe Flaherty and Rick Moranis. By the mid-1980s, The Second City began a new era as Second City Toronto proprietors Andrew Alexander and Len Stuart bought out Bernie Sahlins' interest in The Second City Chicago and set in motion a new era of innovation for the company.

Today, The Second City continues to produce premier comic talent, its imprint felt across the entertainment industry, as represented by alumni Mike Myers, Steve Carell, Stephen Colbert,Tina Fey and many others. The organization has diversified as it's grown, launching Second City Training Centers in Chicago, Toronto and Los Angeles; four touring companies performing Second City revues across North America and abroad; Second City Communications, an industry leader in bringing improv-based methodologies to the corporate sector; and a growing commitment to producing innovative, original content for film, television and the digital realm.
