The remix of the “Seasons of Love” song from the Rent musical has had at least 32,700 likes since it was first tweeted on Sunday.
An audio clip featuring President Donald Trump asking for 11,780 votes to the tune of a song from Rent has gone viral. The clip has had at least 1.3 million views since it was first shared on Twitter by The Gregory Brothers, a musical quartet. The president’s words asking for 11,780 votes were taken from a recording of a phone call between Trump and Brad Raffensperger, the secretary of state of Georgia, which was obtained by The Washington Post. During the call, Trump pressed Raffensperger to “find” ballots that would overturn Georgia’s Election Day results in his favor, challenging his November loss to Joe Biden. The Gregory Brothers shared an audio clip which played “Seasons of Love,” a song from the musical Rent, in a tweet noting: “Trump asks for 11,780 votes, but it’s to the tune of the Rent song.” In the audio clip, the actual lyrics of the Rent song, which starts with “five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes,” is replaced by Trump saying “11,780,” which he said in his phone call with Raffensperger.
