Watch Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter Rapping With The Roots At His Inauguration Party

Man, who’d have guessed it? Those Pennsylvania politicians are talented! Just a week after we got the treat of watching former Senator Arlen Specter doing stand up, we’re now gifted with a video of Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter rapping! At this rate, it’s only a matter of time before footage leaks of the Pittsburgh comptroller doing interpretive dance.

The video comes from a party celebrating Mayor Nutter’s second inauguration. During the festivities, Nutter jumped on stage and joined the one and only Roots to do a rendition of the Sugarhill Gang’s immortal “Rapper’s Delight.” And, somehow, he managed to accomplish what millions of partygoers for the past few decades have been unable to do; remember the lyrics.

Seriously, people talk about whether or not President Obama uses a teleprompter but forget that. I need to know if Nutter was cheating on this. If he really did this all from memory, then I will vote to re-elect him next chance I get. And I don’t even live in Philadelphia.

Rest of America, be warned. Pennsylvania just served you all.
