> [@vivalostwages](#): > > Huckabee campaigns via a parody of Adele’s “Hello.” Adele. To get everyone excited, get the excitement flowing in the dead of winter, heck, just to raise people’s moods, his campaign picked Adele. The artist who, when you type into google _Why are Adele songs_… auto-fills with _so sad?_ And then they picked the song that [ranked #3 in her catalog](http://www.complex.com/music/2015/11/adele-album-25-songs-ranked-by-sadness/adele-hello) ranked by _sadness_. That’s sad. And not sad like, you know, Adele is sad. More like when people say Nickelback is sad.
