Labor leader and Australia’s only alternative Prime Minister, Bill Shorten, has bust some daggy Dad dance-moves during a visit to the Pacific island of Kiribati, and they’ve been mashed up with Drake‘s Hotline Bling to create something truly amazing awkward.
The exact moment when Shorten decided to bust a move was captured by the ABC, and it’s already awkward enough with its original music. Here it is:
Since then, Shorten’s moves have been given a strangely entrancing club remix…

I can’t make fun of Bill Shorten dancing because that is how I dance except i don’t dance because that is how I dance

“I can’t get this Vine of Bill Shorten dancing to load” “Who’s Bill Shorten?” Working in politics vs. working with engineers…

Previous Hotline Bling concoctions have seen the likes of Glenn Robbins’ Russell Coight and Chris Lilley’s Mr. G dance to the track, along with a string of other absolutely superb mashups.
