Hillary Clinton gets a star-studded anthem. Celebrities like Elizabeth Banks, Idina Menzel, Mandy Moore, Aisha Tyler, Jane Fonda and Jesse Tyler Ferguson have got together for a music video to do an a capella version of "Fight Song" in support of the female presidential candidate.
The cover co-produced by Banks is inspired by the "Pitch Perfect" film series which is also co-produced by the actress. "I got together with some friends for the Democratic National Convention. We believe in Hillary Clinton. We love the sound of the first woman president!" she explained on her social media.
Jaime King, Connie Britton, Kristin Chenoweth, Ian Somerhalder, Nikki Reed and Julie Bowen are also featured in the video along with the original singer Rachel Platten. Banks' fellow "Pitch Perfect" judge John Michael Higgins and several members of the Barden Bellas are involved as well.
The star-studded rendition was played on the second night of the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia on Tuesday, July 26. It was played after Banks made her entrance to Queen's "We Are the Champions" as a sly reference to Donald Trump's entrance at the Republican National Convention last week.
