Classic song 'It Takes Two' gets catchy impeachment update from whistleblowers

🎶"Anyone can whistleblow, baby. But two can make a crime so real."🎶

A second whistleblower has emerged in the impeachment case against Trump. In the case of impeaching the president, the lyrics to the classic Motown song "It Takes Two" very much hold true.

The Late Show with Stephen Colbert took it one further, however, and decided to update the lyrics to Marvin Gaye and Kim Weston's famous duet.

The new and improved impeachment version of the song is pretty catchy too. With lyrics like, "Anyone can whistleblow, baby. But two can make a crime so real," you'll be tapping your foot all day.

The chorus is the real piece de resistance, though. "It takes two baby. This ain't no coup baby. They're gonna impeach you."
