Ron Burgundy Sings Mayor Rob Ford’s Campaign Theme Song

Ron Burgundy (Will Ferrell) stopped by Conan and talked about a friend of his who has recently been all over the news. “My dear, dear, dear friend, Mayor Rob Ford of Toronto is running for re-election, and I hold him in the highest regard,” said Burgundy. “He is the best!”

Labeling him an “outstanding” and “honest” individual, Burgundy revealed that he’s been asked to sing the re-election campaign’s theme song, the very fitting “Working for the Weekend” by Canadian band Loverboy. During the song, Burgundy told the crack-smoking mayor not to do anything stupid, and Mayor Ford responded to the performance on Twitter.

“Good morning Toronto. I had to laugh at my friend Ron Burgundy and his take on my 2014 re-election campaign song” – Mayor Rob Ford (@TOMayorFord), November 21, 2013
