Though the original tune is not in my wheelhouse genre, I feel comfortable describing it as "obscure" since the band's gag went unnoticed during the broadcast. It was a Tweet by the band's drummer, Questlove, that drew attention to the incident after the fact. It drew a rebuke from Bachmann as well, who told Fox News she thought it was "clearly a form of bias on the part of the Hollywood entertainment elite but it's also I think it's sexist as well."

Pointed subversion of our vacuous, hateful political culture or sexist bias by "entertainment elites"? Golly, can't it be both? I'd like to add also, in the Roots' defense, there's no song entitled "Self-Mythologizing Pandering Dimwitted Religious Sociopath."
