From the first vigorous chorus to the epic conclusion, in which small John McCains fall diagonally from the sky like suited sleet, you can only wonder: What the hell is going on here? Whose idea was it to do a video called “It’s Raining McCain,” set to the tune of “It’s Raining Men,” and who are the women performing this song and dance in front of a blue screen? Are the McCain Girls — Phyllis, Janice, and Jen (as we’re calling them in the absence of actual information) — sincere McCain fans, teachers at a local junior school, perhaps, who were slipped pot brownies and tricked into performing by the mean AV-club kids? Or, worse, was this video done at a home and then meanly leaked to You Tube by a pimply orderly? And above all: Is it bad? Or is it brilliant? That we leave up to you, dear reader.
