Just when you thought you had Frozen's "Let it Go" out of your head, Senator Pat Roberts (R-Kan.) had to go and ruin it for everyone.

We've all been there -- you're in a meeting and you think your phone is silenced, but it's not. Well, that happened to Roberts on Thursday during a hearing about Congress and U.S. Tariff Policy. However, the best part is that Roberts's ringtone was "Let It Go" from Frozen

"Aw come on," Roberts said as he pulled the phone from his pocket. The interruption stopped Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, who was speaking at the time and the crowd broke out in laughter.

"Just let it go, mister," Roberts added as he apologized for the interruption, which made the attendees of the hearing laugh even harder.

According to Roberts's biography on his website, the 78-year-old has five grandchildren, so maybe the grandkids just played a little prank on pop pop.

Regardless, Vilsack seemed extremely amused.
