Father John Misty covers anti-Trump song ‘Trump’s Private Pilot’

With the U.S. presidential election taking place later this week, musicians have started getting political left right and centre. Father John Misty’s got a bit of a rep for his impromptu Soundcloud uploads already, and now he’s added to his collection with a cover of anti-Donald Trump song ‘Trump’s Private Pilot’.

The song was originally written in the run-up to the Republican National Convention, by Tim Heidecker of the sketch show Tim & Eric. Heidecker shared the song yesterday, saying “my humor tends to skew dark, so I imagined a kamikaze style situation, where the pilot sacrifices himself for the sake of the country. I’ve performed it live a few times, and let me tell you: there’s a real cathartic satisfaction in singing the last few lines, and I always choke up a bit.”

Now, Josh Tillman’s done a lovely cover of aforementioned song. Listen to it below, and read the DIY interview with Father John here.
