Funny video! Which one is running for judge?
The three playing guitars are shoe-ins.
With judges falling out of favor with voters like flies, maybe they could start their own band. They're pretty good at beating their own drums, so I'd say they might have a chance.
I wonder if the judge they get will be up for election
Scherer should represent these guys or what bout Freddy? How come his name has not come up in this election.
