Kari Lake's entry music at a Scottsdale rally was ... hilarious

Opinion: Kari Lake marched into her Scottsdale rally to the song 'American Woman.' It was the funniest thing I saw all week.

Kari Lake's choice of entrance music at her Scottsdale rally is a hoot.

It’s been a long week and we could all use a laugh. And so I bring you …

… Kari Lake.

America’s MAGA queen on Wednesday held one of her signature rallies wherein she railed once again about her supposedly stolen election and announced another in her seemingly endless appeals of her legal challenge.

Yeah, nothing funny about her now seven-month-old refusal to accept the fact that she just flat-out lost.

It was her entrance music that was hysterical.

“American Woman.”

'American Woman' isn't what Lake thinks

Somebody (but it won’t be me) should tell Lake that “American Woman” is not exactly an ode to, well, American women.

It’s also strange that someone so invested in all things America First would stage her triumphant entrance on a song written by a Canadian band.

As a tribute to Canadian women.

“What was on my mind was that girls in the States seemed to get older quicker than our girls and that made them, well, dangerous,” the Guess Who’s Burton Cummings told the Toronto Star in 2014. “When I said ‘American woman, stay away from me,’ I really meant ‘Canadian woman, I prefer you.’ ”

So there is a beaming Lake, striding up to the stage as Lenny Kravitz belts out:

“American woman, stay away from me.”

Should we tell her this isn't a compliment?

There she is, waving to the MAGA faithful, as Kravitz orders:

“Don't come hanging around my door“I don't want to see your face no more“I got more important things to do“Than spend my time growing old with you”

There she is, pointing and beaming and her fans cheering as Kravitz implores:

“Now woman, stay away“American woman, listen what I say”

I would guess a fair number of Arizona voters — the ones who put Katie Hobbs into the Governor’s Office come to mind, as well as the ones who have tired of her post-election tirade — might agree that Lake has hit upon the perfect anthem.

“The lyrics are incredibly appropriate…….if one is strongly opposed to Ms. Lake,” wrote Michael Jonas, a reader who alerted me to Lake’s entry music after reading about it on HuffPost. “Why she’d do that is beyond me.”

It’s probably because, in her view of the world, the song is a compliment.

Either that, or she didn't bother to listen.

Should we tell her?
