A resurfaced photo of former Republican President Donald Trump and former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton taken at the 2016 Presidential election has gone viral.
At the time the photo was snapped by a lucky photographer, the then-opposing candidates were going head to head at the second presidential debate at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri.
But the photo didn't exactly translate as a heated moment.
Instead, Trump and Clinton–who were both holding handheld mics–appeared as if they were singing a duet together.
Of course, Twitter was all on board with this twist on scary-oke. Take a look at the tweet that's making the rounds again.
Take a seat, because the show is about to begin.
\u201cWhat are they singing?\u201d— Luke \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8\ud83c\uddeb\ud83c\uddf7\ud83c\udf3b (@Luke \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8\ud83c\uddeb\ud83c\uddf7\ud83c\udf3b) 1675008682
After the song choice question went viral, Hillary Clinton herself weighed in.
The 2016 Democratic presidential candidate guessed the Dolly Parton, Kenny Rogers song "Islands in the Stream."
She added of Trump:
"He’s yelling nonsense syllables."
\u201cI\u2019m going for \u201cIslands in the Stream.\u201d He\u2019s yelling nonsense syllables.\u201d— Hillary Clinton (@Hillary Clinton) 1675273429
People appreciated Clinton’s humor and grace.

\u201c@HillaryClinton You still have an amazing sense of humor - especially considering you were robbed in this election by Putin via that gasbag standing across from you.\u201d— Hillary Clinton (@Hillary Clinton) 1675273429
Others offered suggestions of what song Trump was singing.
\u201c@HillaryClinton He's singing the Russian national anthem.\u201d— Hillary Clinton (@Hillary Clinton) 1675273429

The Twitterverse offered other ideas about the song they were belting to each other.

Thanks to some creative magic and one user's spare time, it appears we got the song that entertained viewers in attendance on debate night.

See?
Even the fiercest rivals from different sides of the political aisle can put aside their differences and be brought together through the joy of music.
At least that's what Twitter would like to think.
