John Oliver had no problem tearing apart Donald Trump's RNC entrance songs – not only did Trump use them without permission, but the lyrics were hilariously ironic.

So Oliver gathered Usher, Cyndi Lauper, Josh Groban, Sheryl Crow and a bunch of other fabulous singers on Last Week Tonight to perform a new song in honor of the politicians who have used their music without approval.

Let's hope Trump doesn't use this tune at his next campaign event.
