What a year. 2017 has been terrible, inspiring, sad, empowering and pretty much every emotion in between. And through it all, it’s been pretty important (aka a survival tactic) to keep a sense of humor even during dark times.

The Daily Show with Trevor Noah certainly helps and last night correspondents Dulcé Sloan and Desi Lydic released their collaboration “Song for Women 2017” to commemorate the year that was. Lydic’s character is a pretty on-the-nose portrayal of the type of white girl feminists that sometimes makes you cringe while Sloan appropriately shuts her down when necessary. The duo takes on everything from the women’s march (remember how great that was?) to Trump (“that pussy grabber with the terrible tan”) to the triumphs of Beyoncé, Elizabeth Warren, and ‘Wonder Woman’. “Who knew you could direct when you have boobies?”

Of course, the song gets interrupted by DJ Mansplain who tries unsuccessfully to take control of the narrative only to be shooed out of the recording booth. But there is one guest star on the track who totally steals the show—Hillary Rodham Clinton, who the duo brought in to add the perfect finishing touch to their viral hit.

I don’t know about you, but I still get a little choked up every time I see HRC making an appearance. I may or may not have openly wept watching her on Ellen last week. But while I long for what might have been, it does bring me joy to see her cutting loose, even if only to lip sync a cameo on a Daily Show parody tune. If she can still laugh, I can still laugh.

Hang in there, fellow women. Here’s hoping we tear the doors off this whole thing in 2018! Until then, “take us home” Hillary.
