If there’s one thing about politics we can all agree on in an election year, it’s the fact that it goes round and round. A new clip by Canberra band Super Best Friends illustrating the fact appeared online overnight, and is simultaneously the dorkiest and coolest thing you will be treated to this election.

“Our bass player Matt Roberts spent a lot of his free time hanging around Parliament House,” reads the press release, “and with his wit and charm, managed to convince several federal politicians and well-known media personalities to be in our new film clip.”

This song is already more exciting than anything that’s happened in the actual election campaign. Maybe instead of watching the debate tomorrow night, we could just watch this again instead.
