Randy Rainbow has returned with a new Funny Girl-inspired video, this time taking on J.D. Vance.

The new video is set to the tune of “Sadie, Sadie” from Funny Girl, while joking about Donald Trump's running mate, J.D. Vance.

"He's JD, JD, second-ratey, can this dope survive? Blatantly promoting Project 2025. Oh he flips and flops. Gurl, sit and spin. How long until they trade him in?" the lyrics sing.

Rainbow's new version of the Funny Girl classic is produced, orchestrated, mixed, and mastered by Michael J Moritz Jr., with vocal arrangements by Brett Boles. The original song features music by June Styne and lyrics by Bob Merrill.
