Needless to say, it’s been a difficult year for Marky Z and Yeezy. So they did what most of us do when life gets you down: grab the mic and blast some sweet ’90s-era boy-band jams.

It’s hard to blame them, really. Unfortunately, there is no video of the incident. Kanye did tweet out a blurry photo of the two moguls in full song, however. Zuckerberg appears to be having the time of his life or is slightly embarrassed. It’s really hard to tell.

While we sadly cannot bring you a video of the incident, we can bring you the second best cover of “I Want It That Way.”
