Mexican Mariachi Band Sings Congratulating Tweets for Hamilton and It’s Hilariously Bad

Everybody was happy about Lewis Hamilton winning the third Formula One title of his career - well, not the fans of all the other drivers, but you know what I mean - and so they had to find ways of expressing these feelings.
Most people took to Twitter to congratulate the Brit, and while I’m sure there is a way to find out the total number of tweets that day without counting them, I’m going to settle with assuming there were a lot.

The majority of the messages were telling Lewis Hamilton and the MERCEDES-AMG PETRONAS team what a good job they did, but there were weirder ones that made little to no sense, stuff like “I’m so proud to be your fan.”

However, nothing comes even close in terms of weirdness (or is it awkwardness?) to what these guys did. Being a mariachi band, they obviously had two options: either do something with the machine guns they carry in their guitar cases, or sing.

The fact that we’re showing you the clip without further warning means they went for the second option. And since English is clearly not their first language, they went for the easier choice and sang a “Twitter song.” Nothing weird about that, right?

Well, the song is meant to be celebratory, and yet their faces told a different story - they look like they’re at a very, very under-paid gig they only accepted because there was no other better option at the moment. It’s either that, or all the band members except for the singer were playing poker while recording this, and were doing a pretty darn good job at not letting anyone else guess their hands.

Oh, and keep an eye out for the ending. It’s what the singer did and it almost cost him greatly, with those pesky confetti hitting him right in the face.
