Rob Ford has been put on [t-shirts, sweaters and bobble heads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/i-can-fix-him), but he can now be heard in the form of a Rob Ford dancehall remix. This hilarious musical montage commemorates a night out with his friends in the form of an [infectious reggae song](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carnival-oasis-2024).

Rob Ford has been getting a lot of attention for his antics since 2013, but a lot of Torontonians are still backing up our peculiar mayor. If you are unfamiliar with why this Rob Ford dancehall remix was created, it is because he was caught on video intoxicated after pledging to stay sober. He ended up at a Etobicoke restaurant with his friends and was speaking in a Jamaican accent.

We will just have to wait and see what the Torontonians have to say at the next election.
