“The Daily Show” updated Sen. Bernie Sanders’ (I-VT) ad set on the Simon & Garfunkel song “America” for older voters as well as black voters.
“Trevor, it doesn’t matter. It’s all in the music,” correspondent Roy Wood Jr. told host Trevor Noah.
“Like, if Bernie wanted to win votes with senior citizens in Florida, he would do this,” Wood added, before cutting to the ad set to the theme song from the hit show “The Golden Girls.”
For black voters, Wood added a song from the movie CB4.
Find out which song in the video, from Comedy Central, below:
Bernie is aware that, as an older Jew from Brooklyn, he´s a little exotic for Iowa, so to show diversity, he´s using music from a couple of older Jews from Queens.
This cracked me up. Thanks!

Simon and Garfunkel’s America came out almost 50 years ago, people who listened to it in their teens and twenties are senior citizens.
Exactly. To me, that ad is geared to the people who want to tell you about their experience at Woodstock and their grandchildren who have romanticized that whole experience from hearing about it. If you want to appeal to me, try having a ad that uses The Clash.
