Did you hear that? That’s the sound of a popular song dying a horrible, horrible death.

Regardless of your political affiliation, it’s generally accepted that Michelle Obama is probably the more classically “cool” between Barack and her. But this…this is bad. OK, everyone knows healthy eating is her thing, so the idea behind the video adds up.

But the execution? No. Just no. Michelle doesn’t even really seem like she’s that into it, dancing with the passion of someone who is trying to act cool rather than just being cool.

And don’t think for a second that Sasha and Malia get a pass here either. Come on, ladies. This is where we need you as First Kids to step in and tell your mom “No.”

Really, the only Obama free of blame in this fiasco is Bo.
