There were a lot of instantly legendary Trumpisms invented at the third presidential debate on Wednesday night. โ€œBad hombresโ€ immediately comes to mind. Also, โ€œRip the baby out of the womb.โ€ Also, โ€œNo puppet. No puppet.โ€

But perhaps none have resonated so deeply in the hours since as has Trumpโ€™s unprompted description of Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton as a โ€œnasty woman.โ€

Immediately, people jumped on the objectively hilarious line. T-shirts were made. Merchandise, too. But the best and most logical jump many people immediately was to Janet Jacksonโ€™s 1986 hit โ€œNasty.โ€ First came the jokes.

Then, the inevitable remixes.

But best of all, it turns out that people are rediscovering this โ€˜80s classic. Spotify confirmed as much Thursday morning, saying that streams have jumped through the roof since the debate.

When we think back on the third presidential debate of the 2016, we can only hope this is what we remember. That, or โ€œBad hombres.โ€
